    Eureka Roto-Matic Power Team 'Vactronic' Model

    Hey all, Just picked this one up on eBay for an absolute song. I know very little about Eureka PowerTeam canisters besides the fact that they're extremely powerful, durable, and have one of the best power nozzles ever conceived. When would this model have been sold? Also, does anybody have a...

    A New in Box Treasure

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've posted and I've got lots of pictures to catch up with. I wanted to share something that I bought myself for my birthday a few weeks ago. New in the box, new old stock from about 2005 or so, a Sanitaire Blue Line S677 manufactured by The Eureka Company...

    A Novel 'Concept' in Cleaning

    Being the ever enthusiastic Concept hunter that I am, I always ask my good friend John Gregory to keep an eye out for them in his day-to-day business. Due to the Mother's Day rush, John had acquired two of my dream machines and was quick to call me to come get them. 1979 Hoover Concept One...

    Mid 1990s SEBO Automatic X1

    Purchased this on eBay for an absolutely unbeatable price. Can't wait for it to arrive later this week. In the meantime, I'll share the photos from the listing. I'm really excited for this machine. I've been searching for a good deal on another SEBO/Windsor ever since I sold both of my...

    Paging Miss Connie Hoover........(Constellation, that is!)

    You know the old saying "When it rains, it pours!"? Well, it has certainly proven true for me lately!    Every time I say that I have too many d**n vacuum cleaners, four more show up! Three of them arrived via FedEx (Thread on that somewhere below) the other day from a very dear friend in...

    I think this one nearly made the FedEx man keel over.

    A few weeks ago, my dear friend Brandon said he had a surprise for me and asked for my address. After much poking, prodding, and prying, I finally got him to tell me that the surprise was a NIB set of Hoover Concept One attachments. Feeling very lucky and happy, I gave him the address, and...

    Christmas Came Early!

    I stopped in to see Mr. John Gregory at Sweeper Central today. It's been too long since I stopped in and I wanted to send holiday wishes to John and his wonderful family. John surprised me with not one, but two beautiful cleaners as an early Christmas present. He knew I was on the lookout for...

    CleanMax Zoom (Riccar SupraLite) for Sale

    Hey all, Up for sale today is a rebranded Riccar SupraLite, labeled CleanMax Zoom. I purchased this machine with the intent of using it to clean a church, because of its size and weight. That ended up falling through, and I have no other use for this particular machine. As you can see from...

    A very large box arrived on my front porch today.

    <span style="font-family: terminal, monaco; font-size: 12pt;">I awoke today to a very large "thud" on the porch, followed by someone banging on the door. I'd been expecting a reasonably large box containing an eBay purchase, but wasn't expecting a box so large that a mini fridge and a microwave...

    Seeking metal Electrolux canister

    Hey all, I'm looking to buy an Electrolux canister, preferably a Super J, Silverado, Diamond Jubilee, Grand Marquis, or UltraLux. Which of these models is unimportant to me, as long as it's in good running order. Cosmetic condition also does not matter, as this would my "workhorse vacuum"...

    An old friend from my mother's past (The return of my first Hoover)

    I stopped in to see my dear friend John Gregory last week to pick up some Type A HEPA bags and John had a surprise for me and a gift for my mother. The surprise for me was a beautiful Hoover Legacy from November of 1997. The gift for my mother was a beautiful 1981 Hoover U4303 Convertible...

    A slew of new toys

    Hey all, In the past few weeks I've acquired quite a few new machines and have yet to post photos, so since today is my day off, I decided that I should do that! All of these new toys came from John Gregory's Sweeper Central. The brand new machines were purchased at fantastic prices, and the...

    Bicentennial Bliss!

    A couple weeks ago at John Long's mini meet, I purchased from him a VERY beat up 1976 Bicentennial Convertible that was missing the cord, covered in filth, and in need of much cosmetic help. Today, I brought it in for it's mechanical rebuild after giving it a thorough bath. John Gregory...

    Meanwhile on Drinker Street.......

    Following the Monster Mash Bash II in Pittston where I acquired a lovely plastic base Convertible, I of course had to bring it down to John Gregory for the diagnosis, operation, and photo op! I will start by saying that this machine needed a whole lot more work than I bargained for.......but...

    My new toy arrived today!

    Some of you may recall last week I posted in the SuperMarket Forum that I sold my Dyson DC25 on eBay because it was too small and wimpy for my house. Well, shortly after the DC25 sold, I broke down and treated myself to a factory refurbished Dyson DC28 AirMuscle. I am completely in love with...

    Apparently my living room needed to be SteamVac'd...

    A few weeks ago when I visited John Gregory's shop, he gave me a very early 2000s Hoover SteamVac Dual V that was missing its clean water tank. A customer left it sitting in his store for 3 months and he was sick of looking at it.    I had a Dual V a few years back that had a burned out...

    I just listed this on eBay if anybody would be interested

    I just listed a near mint condition Dyson DC25 on eBay. It's a fantastic machine, but just not the right fit for my house. I hate to see it go, but I could use the money to put towards another model more suited to my needs.    The DC25 was a current model up until about a month ago. Its MSRP...

    Paid another visit to Sweeper Central

    Last Friday I paid another visit to John Gregory's store on Drinker Street. No real rhyme or reason for dropping in, just a social visit. John had a barn burner of a morning that day. Customer after customer, from the silliest repairs (i.e. a bagless T Series with a costume Michael Jackson glove...
