Today I made the trip to a local sew & vac shop with the intent of searching for any machines that would qualify as rare, NOS, or otherwise collectible, and I’d say that what I found fit the bill quite well. The store was one of the largest that I’ve seen, occupying multiple suites of the...

I have a new old stock Hoover SteamVac Widepath 6000 that I'm looking to sell, figured I would share the listing on here for anyone interested. I would keep it, but I already have been lucky enough to score another SteamVac Widepath LS nos for myself, so this one is onto it's next lucky owner...

This morning, I found this Oreck XL 5000 brand new in the box at an estate sale for only $20. The sale was in a huge house high up on a hill, lots of vintage housewares, clothes and decorations to be had. It was very difficult to find and get to but I’d say it was beyond worth it for this...

I was checking the local OfferUp listings this morning when I came across and ad for a NOS Hoover WindTunnel Self Propelled Ultra, so I messaged the seller asking if it was still available, and upon checking their other listings I saw that they also had a SteamVac Widepath LS for sale. The...

Hey guys! I hope everyone is well. I wanted to share with you guys my latest find. I got this Miele S8 UniQ for only $20 yesterday on OfferUp. It was only about 30 minutes away so I just had to pick it up. All that was wrong with it was that there was one wire disconnected in the hose, other...

Saw this on OfferUp and I'm not personally interested but there is a good chance one of you will be so I thought I would post this here https://offerup.com/item/detail/710791471/

Hey guys. Today I got this used Simplicity G9.4 in rather good condition for $100 off of Facebook marketplace, however an issue has arisen. When the direct air motor is activated, there seems to be a vibrating or rattling noise that is not present in the upright position or when the direct air...

Wasn't quite sure where to put this... however I was curious if any of those that believe in ghosts and spirits have had any experiences with such entities involving one or several of their vacuums? Thought this might be a very interesting one to discuss, so please, tell any stories you may...

I was browsing the free section of Craigslist as you do when I came across what looks to be a Hoover Constellation, however the logo seems odd and I have never seen this color combo. Could anyone help me to sort this out and figure out what this vacuum truly is? Any help would be much...

Hey guys, I'm about to discuss what seems to be a touchy topic here for whatever reason. I feel like a bit of a black sheep saying that I actually enjoy and collect robot vacuums and think that they can replace full size vacuums in some situations, mostly where hard flooring is the only flooring...

Hey guys, I recently was given a Simplicity 7200 to repair. It has a bad motor, and the people who requested it be repaired have decided to just get a new vacuum so now it belongs to me. The information I'm looking for is whether or not this vacuum is worth keeping and repairing if I already...

Okay, so this Amway is about an hour away from me, and I was wondering when it was from and how much I should offer. Any help is appreciated. http://https//sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/hsh/d/vintage-amway-cms-1000-vacuum/6524102171.html

Can anyone lend me some information on this vacuum? I intend to refurbish and keep it forever as it used to belong to a relative and it would be very special to me. I have heard that this a rare vacuum, but how rare? Thank you in advance. ~Justin

Does anyone know if the Vibrance can use the same bags as the 8995? Also, I am currentley trying to contact the seller right now to buy this, I have never seen a blue one like this. http://https//offerup.com/item/detail/361485839/?ref=Search

A new Dyson with (yet ANOTHER) new cleaning head. Seems to be on a DC40 body again with the new tool design. Thoughts? http://https//www.dyson.co.uk/uprights/dyson-light-ball-overview.html

This is confusing. It is a toy hoover dust Manager, in the US that says hoover on the body, and then Eureka. And the Eureka logos don't appear to be stickers...

Can anyone give me any information on this? Thanks.

Hello everybody, I am seeking information and advice on how to restore a Hoover model 725. I just want to find the best techniques and what would be best for the vacuum. I am not considering washing the bag, but rather cleaning it with compressed air, has anyone else tried this? Also, what...

This is very concerning to me, as it has never done this before. I took out, cleaned, and inspected everything for damage including the belts, clutch etc. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1vvzbfGzXs

This appears to be a Riccar Steward/Simplicity Moxie with a cord rewind attached and a clear window on the floor head. And also, there is that suspicious Hard floor head. My questions are will there be a Floor head like that coming to the Riccar/Simplicity versions, as an optional accessory or...
