After swearing to myself I would only concentrate on Electrolux and Hoover in my collecting, I am now the proud owner of a Eureka canister vacuum. If you have read my portable dishwasher post here, you will know this was gifted to me by the fellow I purchased the dishwasher from. It works...

Hello All, First off, I hope everyone had a pleasant and joyous Thanksgiving. I know I did. I spent it with very close friends and had a wonderful dinner and relaxing after dinner conversations. As many of you know, I am planning a move for mid-January (hopefully). I would like to get most of...

....when I saw what this ended up selling for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=110192349799&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=001

I will picking this beauty up on Wednesday. Meeting the woman at her Dentist's office which happens to be up the road from my house. I don't even have to drive! http://allentown.craigslist.org/hsh/473724569.html

I have to laugh and share...I was in an argument with my b/f. I didn't want to see him, but he insisted he come by for a work shirt that I washed for him the other day. He came barreling into my home, but look out! OOOPS tripped on that cord from my Hoover Constellation. LOL The vacuums, they...

Found this funny vacuum movie on you tube. It is actually very well done, check out the Hoover Spirit canister vacuum.

I was watching this very old Hoover on eBay. Can anyone tell me about it. It closed this evening for a very high amount. The winning bidder is that fellow who seems to have extremely deep pockets and always wins in the end...

Well, I was relaxing this evening and about 11pm, my friend Sasha called and wanted to come over for awhile. I said sure, but as soon as I hung up the phone I started panicking...What do I do with the Vacuums???? Sure, I could leave the hoses out and about and and the crevice tools, dusting...

Ok, this is the last one for now, I promise (actually it is the last one I have to show you). I am not sure when this one was made, so I may be pushing by posting it on the vintage forum. This was my last purchase from this past week. This was also from the thrift where I got my light blue...

This is another Hoover I stumbled across during my "week of Hoovers" odyssey. I found this thrift store in the phone book and decided to give it a try. It was late in the afternoon about an hour before closing when I spied this in their downstairs housewares/furniture room. I looked at it then...

Hello, Here are some pics of a nice Blue Hoover convertible I "rescued" from the local thrift last week. I got her for the price of 9.99. This is model U4021 with original bag. Was scuffed as usual (perhaps that is best, makes for a cheaper price). I have since removed the black goo with Pete's...

As you are aware, I didn't have any luck the other day while thrifting. Well, I tried a couple local thrift shops here in Allentown and found a few things I was looking for. My "new" constellation, did not come with any attachments. I remembered a Thrift store in town here that always had...

Hi Everyone, I received a new arrival to the ever growing family this past Friday (10/12/07). In the form of a vacuum I bid on and won from eBay. I bid on it last Monday (prior to my infamous ebay thread) and was the sole bidder and winner. It is something I have wanted since learning about...

Wish me luck, I am going thrifting today. My first stop will be here: http://www.quakertownfarmersmkt.com/

Hello, Has anyone used this site as a source for parts. They seem to have an extensive list. They are a janitorial and vacuum supply company. One of the best features of their site is an extensive collection of schematics for vacs. For a beginner such as myself, they are a valuable resource...

I went thrifting today and found this, complete with green extension cord in the Quakertown, PA Salvation Army Thrift store. It was in the furniture room which for some reason I headed to first before the electronics section. No price on her, so I asked the boy who was sorting ladies shoes, he...

Here are some interesting (at least to me) vacuums I see currently on ebay. This first one I assume is some sort of mechanical sweeper. http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Domestic-Wood-Vacuum-Cleaner-1910-Peoria-Ill_W0QQitemZ170157945495QQihZ007QQcategoryZ115993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Hello, I was wondering; did Electrolux ever advertise on TV or radio? Was it simply word of mouth and door to door? Also if they advertised on TV or Radio, did they have a "theme song?"

Wow, here is a cute canister vac I never saw before. Who makes this? It is called the Ladybug. I bet this will become a collectible one day. What a great vac to get kids interested in vacuuming. http://www.amazon.com/Ladybug-LB102-Canister-Vacuum/dp/B000EE8Y14

Just saw this on my local craigslist. Never saw one of these before. Kind of a neat design. In the ad the seller has it listed as a DD "Kone" Vac.
