It's a blonde thing! Richard, I hate to admit defeat but how do you find your store on Ebay? I tried several times and ways yesterday to no avail. Roger Brown

Don't beat yourself up over this Alan, I wouldn't beat myself up too much over this (unless, of course, that turns you on!) vacuum. I seem to remember several great buys you've made over the years. I feel like I should get out my polyester double knit clothes and Beatle boots to use the...

Hey, John This carpet is top of the line, builder's special, buck ninety-eight a square yard! Installed! :-) I didn't think it was normal for the up and down motion but it's been a long time since I've used a Hoover. I'll try it on the flat pile carpet in the office this week after I get some...

Last week, while at Goodwill, I came across this vacuum with a pricetag of $8.99! Remarkable condition and in pink, no less with a garish pink paisley bag! I'll take a picture and post if I can get someone in the office to show me how to put on computer so I can post here. Questions - what years...

trivia Not sure who posted this information (I think it was Aoliandave) but the reason for lights on a vacuum comes from having to plug them into the light socket which meant you didn't have that light while you vacuumed. Thought this would be an interesting aside to the advertisement Roger

Hey, Bill, haven't talked with you in awhile. I've been following your posts here, tho. I tried your suggestion but got even more hopelessly lost. Did you get to find the article and read it? Maybe you can email me outside of the forum and summarize. Roger

How do you "open" this book to read that section??? Computer literacy isn't my best feature. Roger

confusion Evidently, I'm doing something wrong here. When I click on the link, I get Barnes & Noble about Dog the Bountyhunter's book, "You can run but you can't hide". Am I doing something wrong????? Roger

For Dualsanitronic Thank you - I was beginning to believe I'm the only one reading these posts who finds the hatred and vindictiveness far out of control. It reminded me of posts in the old Vacuum Cleaner Forum before that left. Now, I've never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the light...

I'm confused.... My, but some people are certainly getting riled up over this thread, aren't they? And, far too personal in some of the comments made here - some things are best left to individual emails. However, my confusion deals with the dirt catching action of the Kirby vacuum and how...

A neighbor gave me her mid to late '80's Special Edition last year. I had to replace the electric hose as the woven hose was leaking so badly. The machine worked fine for almost a year and then the power nozzle died - or so I thought. Turns out that the power nozzle works just fine but not...

I went through two of the floor a matics in my time. Very good machine for scrubbing and wet pickup IF you kept the pick up area clean. Big if there - forget to clean it one time and you need toothpicks, nutpicks etc. to clean out all the little holes. I personally didn't think they did a very...

Renewing the air Anyone know the theory behind blowing air under a rug? I remember my mother doing that or having me do it when I got older. Never understood what that was supposed to do. BTW, the chauffeur can do anything he wants in my car!

A co-worker gave (yes, GAVE!)me her Rainbow D4C vacuum yesterday. Said she was tired of pushing it from place to place as she doesn't use it now that her house is all tile. It needed a good cleaning up and works great but....shouldn't the handle come out of the wand part from the power nozzle? I...

tri star Which model Tri Star do you have?

Packard forum Chad, Can you provide a link to the Packard forum you mentioned above? I have a fondness for Packard's and didn't know there was a forum for them. Roger Brown

Toss up Over the years, I've had a Classic III, Heritage 2, G3, G4 and G6. I really loved the Classic III for it's power and all the attachments. I used that machine both at home and at work. Too bad it had to be stolen in a robbery. The G3 was a disappointment to me - it had several breakdowns...

Thanks guys Dave - I really appreciate your offer. I'm going to take it to the post office tomorrow to see what it will cost to mail it and may also check FedEx. I'll email you privatetly with the details so as not to choke this thread. Richard - tried to find you on Ebay but was unable. I...

I went to use my LE Electrolux this morning and nothing would happen! No power, evidently. I played with the cord and it tried to start but wouldn't stay on. Possibly a loose connection? I don't know if it is worth taking to the repair shop. Is this something that I could possibly check and...

would you share? Chad, Would you share the website of the forum on automobiles you mentioned? Sounds interesting. Roger Brown
