I am fixing a Hoover Shampooer for a nice lady I work with. When she gave it to me to take home I was shocked at how she damaged the cord and the plastic along the bottom, etc. Here is my question....When I use a shampooer I move it back and forth slowly accross the carpet to maximize it's...

Andy Weter gave me this laminated Electrolux model diagram when I visited his store back in March. This is one of the diagrams you always see when you walk up to the service counter at the Electrolux branch. Anyways, I was so appreciative of this gift I decided to frame it. I figure I will hang...

Anyone seen these on the Hoover website yet? It's amazing how much they resemble Miele. (That's a good thing!) I am actually proud that Hoover has finally changed the design of the Windtunnel bagged canister to something more modern and up to date. Don't get me wrong I love the older vacuums and...

I went to the Flea Market today (98 degrees at 10:00 AM in the morning) and found a couple Electrolux items. Nothing that I found is very special or what I consider "collectible" but still I can't let Electrolux items just "sit" whenever I find them. I'm sure many of you know what I mean. I...

I got my two boxes of Perfect Canister "C-Style" bags in the mail today. Let me just tell you I am so impressed with their quality that I am going to start using them in all of my Lux's. They are made out of the same hepa material as Miele bags and are very lighweight. Another plus is the card...

My partner's mom liked my Miele Aquarius so much that she bought herself one. Now that she has a new vacuum, she finally caved in and gave me her Electrolux. She was the original owner and purchased it new in early 1988. I'm glad it is now part of my Electrolux collection.

I stopped at a yardsale today and I can't believe I got this for only $20. I was shocked when the owner told me the price. It looks like new and runs great. I just need to clean it up a bit. Apparently the man's wife hated this vacuum and really wanted to just get rid of it.

So a few years back my sister bought a basic Eureka Model 6982-A canister vacuum. Nothing really fancy about it, but it was a good vacuum. I say "was" because she asked me to take it home this evening and clean it out for her. I was in the process of taking it apart and literally plastic pieces...

Does anyone have a beige hose to match this vacuum? If so, I would be very appreciative. Thanks! :-)

Ok I cleaned up another vacuum this evening. I got this one at a vacuum store (it was a trade in) while I visited St. Louis recently.

I got the urge to clean up another vacuum today when I got off work, so I picked this one. I figured I'd take some photos.

I visited Andy Weter this past week and I photographed some of his vacuum collection. He asked me to post these for him. These are all vacuums that he had at his store. Enjoy! Here is a rare Eureka...

I got bit by the Miele bug... Here is my new Aquarius. Does anyone else have one of these?

Now how often do you come accross one of these?!!! A good friend of mine gave me this Model G electric hose to add to my collection while I was in St. Louis this past week. I also found the wall brushes that match as well.

I found this at a Goodwill in Frankfort, KY while on my way back from St. Louis this week. Can anyone tell me when this model was made and also what types of bags/belt it takes? It is in nice shape but I still need to clean it up a bit. Thanks.

A local vacuum shop called me and said a person traded in an old Electrolux on a Miele today and it still has the original box. So I went to the store and my jaw dropped and I literally messed my pants when I saw that it was a Model S. My face still has a grin on it from excitement!!! They gave...

Ok, I hope I don't sound too full of myself, but I am very proud of myself for the work I did on this vacuum. This vacuum had some horrible bearing noise and generally did not run good when I got it. So, I decided to fix it myself. The reason I am proud of myself is because this is the FIRST...

This Celebrity came into a local vacuum shop as a repair and the customer never came to pick it up. So, after 45 days the vacuum shop called me and said I could either take it or they were going to trash it. So of course I went and picked it up... It runs good but has some wicked bearing noise...

Does anyone have any brochures, pics, etc. they can post of some Panasonic vacuums from the 80's?

Ok I got home from work today and a box was sitting at my front door. Inside it was this Hoover Dimension 1000! Anyone who knows me well enough knows that I had a beautiful Dimension about five years back but when I kicked a bad roommate out of my house he took some of my vacuums with him out...
