Any good substitutes for the Sunbeam 601-1 belt?

Apologies in advance. Vacuum cleaners like these are not my cup of tea, so I know little of them. This question probably came up a thousand times before. I hope you can advise me what I just bought. Back story.... went to an estate sale last week. Saw this vac but passed it up. ( I’m a GE-...

For the upcoming VCCC conference in Milwaukee, is anyone staying at The Pfister? And could anyone comment on its proximity to the conference's events? FYI: The chosen hotel for the VCCC conference is attractive in every way including its price. However, other issues may be involved which may...

I'd like to hear y'all's recommendations for a steam floor cleaner. The house is eight years old and I'm feeling that the floors are not as clean as I'd like them to be despite the cleaning ladies' efforts. I've got hardwood floors throughout and, according to the contractor it has "four coats...
