    Can anyone identify a vacuum by a handle?

    Theres an old photo on here of a HUGE sale of vacuums that ranged from all kinds and all different eras. However I always noticed these handles poking up from the pile in the photo and I have little to no clue what vacuum it is? Was it a canisters power wand, is it a vintage Hoover, Eureka or...

    A black 12 amp Hoover Sprint?

    Of course one of my favorite things is to find vacuums that are uncommon or Ive never seen myself. Could it have just happened? Now I know for certain Hoover sold a bright burgundy 12 amp Sprint at Sears but this image leads me to believe it was also sold in black. You cant see any red through...

    Another photographic mystery

    Another photo from online from a thrift store. Zero clue as to what this one could be. I thought Ultra MVP but the color seems off. More like a silver?

    Can anyone identify this from the bottom?

    Found this picture on here of this stockpile of vacuums from a few years back and I cant for the life of me decipher what this thing is with the red brushroll? Is it Dirt Devil, Hoover? I know its something from the 2000s judging by aesthetics.

    New Shark Navigator!

    Same as my copper one but I love the aqua green (camera DOES NOT do it justice). To heck with it, these are good vacuums. I've criticized them in the past but the other is still going strong a few years later with monthly cleaning of the filters. The amount of gunk this thing can pull out of the...

    When was this Eureka released?

    I've seen very few pictures of it but I wasn't aware Eureka had some power head canisters in the 2000s. So used to the Mighty Mites. I know in the 80s and 90s they did, but never did I hear of the Home Cleaning System. When was this released? How were they performance wise? Looks like a really...

    Im just really surprised as all

    Amazing how insanely difficult it is to actually find any of these types of Hoovers. Granted all the bagless systems have their flaws but were these REALLY worse than the also flawed Twin Chamber and Fold Away units? With good maintenance my Grandmothers Fold Away actually lasted her 9 years! I...

    What exactly is the difference?

    Other than one having wet pickup as a feature, what's the difference between a portable wet dry vac (like a 4 gal) and something like a Eureka Mighty Mite? Mighty Mite, like a shop vac also has a blower feature. Might sound like a stupid question but was always intrigued by this. What type of...

    Does anyone have, or even ever heard of this???

    Ive seen maybe two photos of this Dirt Devil on here called "The Green Machine", its a Pro Series model in a nice Forest Green. Whats the rarity level of this particular machine, and why are these so hard to come by? Anyone here on the forum have this particular model.

    The verdict is in: SHOCKINGLY AWESOME

    I saw this earlier this year and thought it looked like an OK vacuum. Reminiscent of old school Dirt Devil. This thing impressed me even more than I was expecting. Filtration despite not HEPA isn't bad at all, no sneezing fits like I've had with other brands. The suction and airflow is...

    Might get this for Christmas

    I've seen very very good reviews on this Dirt Devil, and usually, I'm NEVER excited about new vacuums. They're usually all the same and build quality is insanely mixed. But this really harkens back to what Dirt Devil USED to be before they cheapened out tenfold in the 2010s. This has all the...

    Which was the better Dirt Devil "compact"?

    Just curious on your takes. What was better between the 05 Bagless Dynamite, and the 90s Bagged Broom Vac? They were both DD's cheaper apartment based vacuums so I'm kind of curious what your thoughts on these two are. I've had both in my life but at far separate time periods.

    Gotta ask before purchase......

    I like collecting any type of vacuuum from my childhood and this is still new in the box. Would the Ni-Cad battery still work and how would I keep it steady if I use it as a daily stick vac for quick cleans.

    When did Dirt Devil do this????

    Apparently theres a rare Dirt Devil Lite thats tranlsucent blue and the video is up on YT. How many translucent models did DD make, or was this the only one?

    What Hoover Dimension is this?

    I know the regular Dimension came in thr bright green but this blurred photo says something else after Dimension. It's either Limited or Supreme, which is confusing because the Limited was a deep hunter green. Was there a Dimension Supreme that was a bright green similar to just the regularly...

    Favorite vacuum store memories

    We all have our memories of running down to the vacuum aisle to see what new vacuums were stocked out on the shelves. Anyone have any particular memories from a visit to a certain store? What was one vacuum (or more) that was on display that you really wanted? My best memory was going one night...

    Something crossed my mind.....

    I wonder if there was any plans or blueprints for vacuums that never made the cut into actual production. Like during the 90s and early 2000s, I would imagine there were several Bissells, Eurekas, Hoovers etc that never saw the light of day but were thought up.

    What vacuum started it all?

    Just a general question for those on this lovely website!!!! We all had atleast one machine that got us into the world of vacuums. Im curious what yours were?
