Hello Everyone! About a week ago while Ebay surfing I found a red Sanitaire version of the Eureka Excalibur. My family had the green model back in the mid-1990s, and although it had its faults and certainly not the strongest suction in the world, it was unique and I wish I would've held onto...

Greetings from almost snowy Michigan! Hope everyone is well. I'm looking to trim down some Vacs from my collection. Included are a Filter Queen LD31 in very good condition. Includes gas pump style hose and original working power nozzle. An additional LD31 is included in good condition...

Hello everyone! Just wanted everyone's 2 cents on the current upright carpet cleaners available. It seems like the mid-1990s Hoover Steam Vac, of which my family purchased one and still seems to be a popular choice, had much stiffer scrubbing brushes back then when compared to today. About a...

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a Hoover Dial-a-Matic 1120 in very good condition from Ebay. Just wanting to share my thoughts and impressions with all of you and certainly welcome your 2 cents you're willing to share :) Background Info: I first came across a Dial-a-Matic in the early...

Hi Everyone! Hello from COLD Michigan! I just wanted to share my joy of finding a Miele Salsa Upright vacuum from our local Habitat for Humanity ReStore (thrift store) for a whopping... $10.00! With a laugh I told the cashier "I'm not going to tell you what these retail for!". It works...

Greetings from Michigan! Hope all is well with everyone! I recently received 3 great vintage vacs (Filter Queen LD31, Eureka 1746A Powerteam Canister, and a Eureka Cordaway upright) and would appreciate feedback on the following: 1. The FQ did not arrive with wands, hose, P/N, and the...

Hello everyone. I acquired this 1970s? Filter Queen and have a few questions if several are willing to assist :) 1. What model # is this? I removed dome cap and only see what appears to be a serial number plate. For the life of me I cannot find the Health Mor Mfg and rating plate. 2. This is...

Hi everyone. Hope someone can help out on this. During the boom of infomercials in the 19 90s I recall seeing a Bissell tv spot featuring a bagged upright of theirs. The nozzle, which was 16 inches, was green and the bag/motor housing was white. The motor unit would detach for portable...

Hello everyone! Well I had to do it... purchase the Regina Housekeeper 2500 off ebay. This was a childhood dream machine. Always asked Santa for one but to no avail. My dream kinda came true in 1988 when my friend's mom bought a blue Housekeeper Plus and I just had to schedule a visit to see it...

Hello Everyone! Just got from Ebay a very nice looking salmon color with art deco bag Hoover Convertible Model 728. Cannot wait for it to arrive and try it out! It does take the Hoover Type-C bottom-fill bags, which I know were less than ideal at times for airflow and bag changing issues. Are...

Greetings from finally warm and gorgeous Michigan. I have purchased a very nice used Hoover Dial a Matic this week (the orange and beige) model and just have a few questions. 1. Are there any current cloth/HEPA type dust bags that would properly fit in this machine for increased air quality? I...

Hello everyone. I am completely baffled at the moment and am hoping some light can be shed on this. It started a few months ago when I purchased a gorgeous early 1980s Eureka Rotomatic Power Team Canister on eBay. I was looking forward to using it as a daily driver. However when turned on the...

Hi Everyone! I'm now the proud owner of a NIB Eureka 3334A Canister. I'll never forget as a kid wanting my parents to get such a canister in the early to mid 1980s. The day our Hoover Convertible died I remember going to the K-Mart in Lapeer, MI and seeing a brown similar canister model. Lo and...

Hi everyone. I recently purchased a Majestic model from EBay. The previous owner obviously used an obnoxious floral scent on the felt pad. I was quick to discard the pad hoping that would help. I also installed a new foam batting dome filter yesterday... the old one reeked of the scent and was...

Hi Everyone! Are there any ways to adjust the brush roller on a Filter Queen Majestic to get it to extend past the bottom plate to be a bit more aggressive on carpeting? Or, are there any after-market rollers with longer bristles? Thanks.

Hi All. Just doing som Amazon surfing and came across a fairly glowing review of this Dirt Devil model by our friend Tom Gasko some time ago. Tom does this machine still deserve and hold up to your impressions? I'm interested in one possibly and have a few questions: 1. Is the hose sufficient...

Hi everyone! Does anyone know how to interpret the S/N on a Filter Queen Majestic to determine manufacture date? Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for a new canister with a powernozzle. I had tried a Kenmore from our local Kmart, but was less than impressed with quality of it along with the dust chamber filling with dirt due to poor bag support gasket. I want to make sure the new vac has excellent HEPA filtration and a...

Hi Everyone! I just purchased a 2014 model year Filter Queen Majestic from Ebay. I was looking for a good canister with power nozzle and was sick of the cheap garbage from the big box stores. I am so thrilled, so far, with the performance of this machine, and I personally notice a large...

Hey everyone. My mom was wanting an old-school style upright to replace a cheap big-box model. We picked up this S675 in January, 2015 for $399.99. Asking for $299.99 However, it has proven to be too-heavy for her. Here are it's features: 1. Less than one-hour usage... still has new vac...
