Hi Guys,   Loving my Electrolux collection so much, I'm trying to accurately tell people about how in the mid to late 20th Century vacuum customers would invest in a good, long lasting, well performing machine and how that translates to current pricing.   I did learn the Olympia Ones...

Beautiful work! What have you found is the best product to get gluey sticker residue off clear plastic without scorching the clear plastic?

Thanks Richard! I am a lucky duck! 🦆

Hey Greg, Thanks for the kind words! Date went okay, but he works 10 hour days as a social worker, and is away this weekend and next.... so, could be the ol' ditch and run or we could go out again... LA. is a tough place to date!

I have 4 Rowenta irons. All top of the line models, each one came out about 4 years after each prior. Interesting evolution of their theories of steam control... Up until a little more than decade ago they were pioneers of a pressure relief valve system which channeled to the steam sole...

Harmonics. While on a first date with this super cute guy during brunch yesterday and almost immediately outing myself as a Vacologist (Ooooo, I just invented that word.. and yes, you can all adopt it, as desired!), he asked if I use all of the vacuums in my collection,.. and how do I choose...

Contratulations! I know you were looking forward to getting it.   If  you get a chance, please post a link to that parts supplier.   Happy Hoovering.... Literally!

@ Jason From the same time when I was staying with my Grandmother during my parents divorce in the 80s, who was in her late 70s by then, when I first discovered her vintage (from the 40s or 50s, I think) Royal upright and became a vacuum enthusiast in my tweens, I also was encouraged by her to...

Is that a vaporizer attachment just above the crevice tool?

So happy to welcome these into the family!   They all run beautifully.   Pretty sure I'm done acquiring for a while.  Running out of funds and display space.      [this post was last edited: 9/25/2018-19:34]

Everyday! Not only what I'm feeling,  but how using that machine will make me feel!

Agreed, Rex! Real wood materials are better for many reasons Hope you survived Florence okay.  Best wishes.

You have to be prepared to walk out and them say: wait a sec I wonder why they don't just amortize the cost over 15 years versus the cost of a new vac and it's projected lifespan to show real value to a prospective customer.  That would be a more palatable approach to entice people to enjoy a...

What's old is new again. I hope canisters to regain their market share here someday, perhaps someday sooner than later.    I work in property management and most all renovations everyone is doing include removing wall to wall carpeting and putting in laminate or wood type planking (it's...

Great advice, Tom! I actually found two original Air-Way Sanitizor bags for sale on ebay a few weeks ago for about 10 bucks.  There were plenty of other ads for the cheapy white ones for about a buck fifty each, but I went for the original!

Why is it an either/or situation? Each tool (electric vacuum and accessories and wands, etc. versus a cordless rigid "stick" vac configuration) has it's own useful purpose.   Why are we all creating this "my vacuum is bigger than your vacuum" scenario?   Clearly and indisputably, at...

Sickening! Said in the best possible drag voice! https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=sickening

Enjoy Mark! Looks like a beauty!  Bags still available on ebay! Just got some.    To the seller.. Where did you find an after market hose?   Bill    

Nicely said, Brian! So, what do you think of the newest Eurekas?   It's the only stick vac I've ever seen with a changeable hepa-type post motor filter!   Very cool https://www.eurekapowerplush.com/
