    Hoover Quik Broom

    I finally used mine and I was disappointed because the exhaust began pushing the fur away before I could vacuum it up. Any ideas or tips? I considered building a diverter or baffle to aim the exhaust away.

    Is it me or.....

    Is an Aerus PN elbow the same as a Tristar PN elbow? Are they interchangeable? Would their crevice tools fit exactly in the wands? I ask because I bought a Aerus Lux PN and it has a black elbow.

    Your thoughts

    What do you think? Is it smarter to pay more to buy a complete vacuum on Bbay or to buy the parts piece by piece over a period of time. Do you think you can end up paying more than if you bought the higher priced complete vacuum? What do you think?

    Your thoughts

    Other than a house full of vacuum cleaners, does anyone else collect other items and does your collecting verge on the term, hoarding?

    What's wrong with this picture?

    On Ebay, isn't that some sort of water/wet "PN" for a different machine? I am sure the Panasonic would not do well sucking up water.

    What do you think,

    I am about to start/resume a project I have been wanting to do. I have Royal "beehive" canister that has a power port for a PN. My plan is to match up a PN, but I knew I needed a cord to connect to the unit, down the hose and to the PN. I will be using straps where needed. Step one was to...

    Feesbay or Fleabay,

    is highly protective of their sellers. How could I have thought they would be more protective of the buyers. A certain seller advertised and is still advertising synthetic Hoover A bags. In my case, they sent the wrong bags. They sent paper bags. Not only that, but they are ignoring my...
