Just picked up a Kenmore 2799 vac with powerhead from my cousin. She is handling the estate of an elderly Professor in Chicago, people went through the stuff and it was passed over by everyone including Goodwill, have no idea why it looks like new. Couldn't see it go to the trash, so I...

Had my eye on is auction had been only 1 bid for $9.95 for the longest time. Conversed with the seller about a few issues and if the price stayed low I'd bid, but it didn't. Hope someone here got this, I know they are rare...

I need a new brush assembly. Some thread or something got wound around the rollers and caused them to overheat melting the plastic ends, now it rattles. Looked online and see various versions, wood, metal and fiberglass, mostly in the $16-$26 range. What is the best replacement, and what is a...

Have an old dial a matic, from if I recall correctly about '67. It has the blue front. Anyway it's been through the mill and used for anything and everything a vac could be used for and ran great. I have it upstairs as a second vac. I powered it up today and it seemed weak sounding. Checked...

I just picked up a Kirby Omega, $25. It's in pretty good condition, wondering about the brushes. I'm redoing a house and had 260 yards of carpet put in, needless to say there is a lot of fiber coming out of the carpet. Got fed up buying paper bags, couldn't even do one room with out it filling...

Just wondering if anyone here can help me identify a vac from my childhood. I'm pretty sure it's a Hoover, from the research I've done I believe it to be a Junior form the '50s. Our neighbor across the street had it and used it constantly, OCD for cleaning. Anyway what I remember was that it...
