    Anyone heard of a Vortech Force?

    I recently acquired a Vortech Force vacuum, it says it was made in Italy, correct me if I'm wrong--but I think it says "Ghibil?" I'd have to double check, It looks to be similar to a Tri-Star/Compact. Sorry I don't have a picture of it, but was wanting to find out a little more about it, as to...

    TriStar MG-2

    Hi, Sandy! Sandy-You're a lifesaver! The vacuum is in pretty good shape, the hose, however is questionable in one spot, looks like it's been bent in some, the vacuum has the powerhead with it. I'm thinking it must have a larger motor, in the fact that it sounds like it runs faster than other...

    The big bad beast, aka Big bertha!

    I actually have about 3 of those vacs! My last one I aquired at the Salvation Army Thrift store, with the original attachments in the original box, and it had some aftermarket bags with it, It is the Grey Silverado color--I think I paid about $5.00 for it.

    I am selling my 1967 Hospital G

    No! No! NO! No, Rich--Don't Sell your Hospital G! It's very unlikely you'll ever find another one, you worked so hard to get it--If you sell it I know you'll regret it later on down the line! Just my thoughts. . . Nathan Electrolux-Dude

    Royal Commercial vacuum-$60.00--Too Much?

    Thanks, Rich, I went to youtube and watched the video. I think the Royal in the pawnshop is louder than the one on the video. It has to be a newer model, as it looks like the one in the video with a smaller head, I think it has the fan that has 9 impeller blades on it. I may wait another week...

    Royal Commercial vacuum-$60.00--Too Much?

    I saw a Royal Commercial model vacuum, in a pawn shop, for $60.00. Is that too much? It looks like the older Kirby models. I turned it on to hear it run and it sounds really loud, I'm guessing it might have one of the blades chipped or broken off of the fan. It has an orange zipper bag on it...

    Question about Royal Vacuums

    I have a question regarding the upright Royal Vacuums, the all metal ones that look like Kirbys. I was told that they are good vacuums to use when pre vacuuming carpets prior to having the carpets cleaned. Are they as good as a Kirby or are they better?

    Kirby Omega Restoration

    Hi, All, I was given a Kirby Omega (1CB), from the local Oreck store where I work as a service man. I am wanting to restore it, as the body and bag and head as well as attachments are in really good shape. The only thing is, it has a bad armature. Is it worth paying $35-50.00 for a new...

    Red Tracings Yes there are red tracings in the hose. That's what I'm thinking--Perhaps for a Lux G.
