    Which hand do you...

    Push the vacuum with? Do you use your dominant hand? Or do you switch back and forth? I push a vacuum around on a daily basis and while I'm left handed, I don't vacuum exclusively with the left hand. I tend to prefer to use my left/dominant hand for all cleaning using a canister vacuum and/or...

    New in box ComVac 1300 (x2)...

    Les! Many A/L or Com Vac's came with a re-useable F&G style bag. Heavy fabric--heavier that a Kirby outer bag that had a slide-off top. Mine did, but what little I used it, I put an F&G bag in it! Take care to not loose the front plug! They often get loose with the years. The first...

    Believe it or not in the mid 60's Kenmore made a CV that had water filtration and could pick-up wet materials! My folks had one in our Florida house so Mom was able to pickup water we tracked in from the pool on the terazzo floors! There's a copy of the owner's manual in the paid literature...

    Central vac wet/dry

    Aqua-Air and it's competitor Drain Vac have been around for about 20 years. Both have a limited following and more small business users than private homes. You use the same 2" pipe and have a water line along side usually the same size as you'd find connected to your refer ice maker. You do...

    How to flock and de-flock a Christmas tree.

    Flocked tree's where and are still popular. Especially in states that don't see snow! I had a call the other night from friends in Palm Desert, Ca about getting their tree flocked. I said go for it! O.K., they live in a true mid-century house and even got a color wheel! Cool! Greg...

    Whirlwinds and other atrocities of various shapes and sizes

    Sir! the language you are using is vulgar and unacceptable here! Vacuumland is also the home to many young underage members and your "colorful" language is not appropriate here! It's obvious you haven't read the user rules! Please do so! I've reported this to our Webmaster as well! Greg...

    Finally a new vacuum I am impressed with

    O.K. I took one to Hans went I visited recently! We had more fun with it and used several different turbo's on it including the Compact Turbonette (which I want!). The difference between the James and the Henry are as Hans said, smaller container size equals less bag capacity and no cord real...

    Sears Kenmore Intuition PowerFlow Upright

    Sears won't be of any help I'm afraid. Sears customer service is of no use about past products.
