My grandmother had a Bissell that looked very similar to the one on the left in that first picture, except hers was a light gray or greige color with gray handle, and said either “Bissell 3000” or 2000, don’t recall. She used to use it to clean up threads from seeing, but whenever I’d visit...

My grandfather had a 2005 Buick LaCrosse bought new for a few years. I liked that car, but the gen you have Edgar, is a very nice car. A coworker at my old job had one of those when that gen first came out, and I always thought that was a beautiful car. I should’ve looked more into the Buicks...

1) early 80s Kenmore mid range Powermate canister that my Parents bought when they got married. 2) mid 80s Kenmore canister that a cousin gave us, that we used along with the other 3) early 80s Hoover Concept One my grandmother gave my mother after she moved, and replaced it with a Hoover Elite...

Yes, sometimes I just use a broom to sweep the tile floors and shake out the rugs and call it a day. Sometimes I’ll also use my Bissell bagless stick vac for stuff like that, quick and easy.

Sometimes my Ford Taurus feels big to maneuver in the parking lots too, it’s sometimes kind of hard to judge when parking or taking corners. I had a 2014 Dodge Charger rental when my old Malibu was in the body shop, and that Charger felt really wide on the sides due to the way the doors stuck...

When I was in high school, I took drivers ed in a brand new at the time, 2006 Chevy Impala LS. Dark gray with dark gray and wood grain interior. It was a very basic model, just cloth 6 passenger bench seats, column shift, no dual zone ac or steering wheel radio controls, auto dim mirror, etc...

The Type A bags were Hoover’s first “top fill” bag and showed up in the late 1970s on their first Convertibles using that setup. The Type A bags spanned across many models to follow, including Decade, Concept 1 and 2, Conquest, PowerMax and Elite. I don’t know as much about Type Z, I think...

Rural store I happened to be driving past that former bait and boat shop I mentioned and noticed that it’s now some kind of business that sells trailers. Not the camper type but utility trailers for hauling ATVs, etc.

Cobalt blue KA Those look great with your cabinets and floors which are very nice by the way. Sometime back (probably a year or so) I actually saw the cobalt blue toaster in a thrift store here that tends to get on lots of small appliances. It’s long since sold though. :( There are...

I’ve discussed this some months ago, but I’m still on the lookout for a house. The housing market has been brutal these last four years especially, I wished I’d bought in 2029 looking back, but even that seemed expensive, to me. I keep browsing the listings online and seeing if there’s anything...

I saw a second of these garnet red versions a couple weeks ago in another thrift store.

That could be, I have a Kenmore power nozzle that’s also made by Ryobi/Sunger and it has a similar sticker on it that starts with 92. I assumed that was from 1992. I don’t think the Whirlpool, Panasonic, or Cleva made units have any kind of date sticker, but I’ve heard sometimes the plastic...

Date If the serial number is like the older Eurekas, the first two digits would be the year. Which would make that from 2015, which seems about right to me.

There was one of those PowerForce Compacts at Goodwill last weekend. It had all the parts and tools. I think they are very cute, but so far I haven’t bought any of the ones I’ve come across. I did get one of those bagged Powerforces, although I’ve yet to do anything with it. I like the colors...

Oh I would’ve snagged that in a heartbeat. I never see any high end Hoovers like that here and those variable Dimensions are super cool! I see a Kirby in the background too.

I’d forgotten about this thread but I did go to a thrift store this morning and saw these. That Quauntum X has been there since at least the summer, and at $99. That Hoover Windtunnel I found interesting, as that color (Garnet Metal I believe) is quite uncommon compared to the typical blue or...

I’m having a similar issue with the switch on my 2006 green Hoover Windtunnel SP.

I call them all shop vacs too, I like those Craftsman

Yes definitely Electrikbrooms branded Sears Kwik Sweep. I can also make out the vacuum bags displayed to the left of them with the green and blue package. And in the background, the sewing machine department. Although that was easier to see in the original picture.

I miss seeing the vacuum display at Sears and actually being able to look at and try the machines. Even when I bought a canister there in 2012, the salesperson was knowledgeable about the machine, the controls, showed me where each of the attachments were on the machine, and asked if I needed...
