    Hoover Dual V All Terrain - on Floors!!

    I have both a Hoover Floor Mate and a Dual V. I am on my 2nd Floor Mate. Wore the original model out (loved it) and I like my second one just as well. Never bothered to use the Dual V on the hard floor because I heard mixed, at best, reviews of it and I was too satisfied with my Floor Mate to...

    Blue Convertible in thread 8367 "Fun Find"

    What model is the blue Convertible on the first photo? I didn't want to take space on a thread about the 87 constellation to ask this. I know it isn't a 65, 66 or 69. And since it has a blue handle instead of white (starting with 69)I'm guessing it is 68?? Does anyone have Convertibles 65...

    Pic of Day - Hoover 150

    Hard not to celebrate the glamorous and dramatic Hoover 150, particularly in that shot. Something about that vac represents everything that attracted me to vacs in the first place. My grandmother talked her new groom into getting her one of these when their new house in Youngstown, OH was...

    Consumer Reports rates Carpet Cleaning Machines

    Consumer Reports has rated carpet deep cleaners in the March 2010 edition which is already available on line to subscribers. I wish I had this report before I bought a pricey Hoover Platinum cleaner (which btw is not functional and in the shop after only 3 uses). I have included the link to...

    Miele S7 Upright. Consumer Reports has ruled....

    I posted this on Andrew's hose problem thread, but thought others that might be interested in this might not see it there. Consumer Reports has finally reviewed the Miele S7 in their on-line "continually updated" ratings. It did very well. Currently tied in second place with the Kenmore...

    Miele S7

    I am surprised at how little I have seen about the Miele S7 upright here. What do others that have one think of these at this point? I have the Bolero. I could share a photo, but it is just the basic black model that we have all seen. I was a total Hoover (original Convertible) and Kirby...

    ? on Hoover Model 66

    Was this model really green? I saw the pic of the day from a few days / weeks ago and that image was green, but I assumed that was just the advertisement which was a drawing. I have never seen an early model, green convertible, but didn't think to ask this till I saw one on ebay that isn't clear...

    Dyson: ? on Consumer Rating Magazines

    I've never owned a Dyson and am not a fan. But I am curious as to why the leading consumer rating magazine generally rates them as mediocre, but in actual user reviews (in that magazine's web site) the owners love them - more so than I've seen with other brands. I'm a Kirby fan tried and true...

    Miele S7 Hose Issue... Again!

    Hey Alex It didn't break other than the spring came off. And I did try to put it back, but it was not at all intuitive (at least to me) as to how to get it back in without breaking it. It seemed very delicate and when it came off, it's not like I was tugging at it. To be honest, I'm not sure I...
