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.

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...

Really want to purchase this and they have not yet removed the listing. Want to find out if its legit before I make any purchase. Id love to have a NIB/NOS Fold Away. https://www.americanvacuumcompany.com/product/hoover-fold-away-turbopower-vacuum-u5167900/

Photos taken by you of vacuum aisles in stores from different times? Could be the 50s, 70s, 90s or 2000s!

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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.

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.

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?

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...

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...

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.

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?

There's machines like the original Hoover Floormate, Steamvac Jr, SteamVac etc, that have rather similar sounding motors to vacuums from other brands, like the Oreck XLs from the early 2000s. I always thought even the Windtunnel uprights sounded like a muxh quieter and more muffled XL despite it...

I love going on the internet and finding gems of photos like this. My favorite era of Hoover, and all of them newly packaged. This was on the old Ace Trading Post website and it's such a great roster of vacuums. The Windtunnel Deluxe, the Breathe Easy, Powerdrive, etc. If anyone with an eagle...

Under one of the threads, someone added specs about the Dimension and Legacy style Hoover cleaners. I knew about the Dimension II upright but I was unaware there were actually 2 separate versions of it. There's the U5211 AND the U5212 that apparently has the 12 amp motor rather than the 7 amp...
