This vac was posted locally on Facebook Marketplace yesterday. Only the 2nd time that I have seen an 'old' vac for sale locally. It looked to be in excellent condition so today I went and had a look and brought it home for $40. It is indeed in excellent condition...barely a scratch anywhere...

When I was a kid in the 60s, I remember my aunt had a Eureka Golden Crown with the storage hassock, same as shown in this Ebay ad. The only difference however was that it had 3 wands ie. 2 straight and 1 curved, and the rug/floor nozzles did not have the metal elbow attached to them. In all...

I'm not sure I posted this in the correct category as I am guessing the vintage but wow...brand new in the box and just sold for $1525 on Ebay. Gary https://www.ebay.com/itm/225591498750?nma=true&si=gxhBgdZl4ArMfq3gcXx6LXzdq%252B0%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

The Henry Quick I ordered about a month ago arrived today. Attached are pics of the unboxing. I also have a Miele Triflex but was unhappy with the small bin capacity and having to clean the filters every time the bin was emptied which was every 2-3 times that I used it. The Henry Quick uses a...

I saw this listing on Ebay and have always been curious....why did Eureka make the hose end without a curve or without the top wand being curved? How are you supposed to vacuum the floor or carpet with a straight hose end? Gary...

I just came across this video for the new model of the Delphin water vacuum. Interesting how the water basin attaches/detaches. Gary

I have a Dyson stick vac which I bought re-furbished direct from Dyson about 10 years ago. It has worked well until recently when the battery dies after just a few minutes. I contacted Dyson only to find out that they no longer make a battery for the model I have. WTF? A perfectly good stick...

I don't understand some Ebay sellers. This lux was initially listed for $1000 and had no bids. Then it was relisted at $800 with no bids, then at $1000 no bids and now at $1250? If you aren't getting bids don't you reduce the price rather than increase it? LOL [this post was last edited...

I ordered a Patriot through Kyle (cleanairhybrid) and it arrived today. I got the hybrid machine with the touch screen just because when I buy something I like all the options :-) I chose the Sebo ET-1 powerhead rather than the Wessel Werk as I had a Miele Capricorn with the Wessel Werk so I...

My bf has this Fantom..... Any idea when it was produced? Thanks Gary

I posted this on AW.org but thought I would post here also. Thank you to Martin (Yogitunes) for sending me this Sunbeam Mixer that he grabbed from an 1800 Victorian home/funeral parlour that is going to be demolished. The mixer was in one of the pantries, purchased from a store that closed in...

Just watching episode 26, season 8 of Bewitched and there is a door to door salesman (at 8:40 in the video) trying to sell Samantha the Mindmaster canister vacuum. It looks like a re-badged Regina canister similiar to the one that a friend of my mom's had. There were 3 versions of this model...

Would anyone have a set of wands for a Big Wheel? I have the hose, attachments, main unit but have not been able to find wands. Thanks. Gary

I'm curious as to what the prices would have been for vacs sold DTD in the 70s i.e.Rainbow D, Electrolux, Filter Queen, Kirby. I remember my mom had a demo of a Lux '89 in the early 70s and I think it was $275 CAD. Gary

A local guy is selling a Filter Queen model 700, serial number 1391789 including all attachments, power nozzle for $25. Would anyone know when this machine would have been manufactured based on the serial number? Thanks, Gary

I just scored this FQ model 700 from the early to mid 70s including power nozzle from Doug Smith. I've ordered an electric hose from EZVacuum. It is the same model that my mom purchased in the 70s although the power nozzle was the older style. Her first FQ was from the early 50s. You can't beat...

A friend of mine was visiting and telling me that he has a 40th anniversary model that his mom purchased new in 1986. Right on the vacuum it says 40th 1945 - 1985. On the FQ website it says it was founded in 1928 so a 40th model would be in 1968? Also I have seen the 75th anniversary model...

I have an Ultimate G - Diamond Edition. I was vacuuming a couple days ago and the selector switch just dropped on the floor. I watched a video on youtube on how to take the machine apart and solve the problem. The guy used a hacksaw to make a small indentation on the end of the selector...

Today I was shampooing the carpets when I heard a weird noise. I turned the shampooer over and one of the 3 brushes was not turning. I took the bottom plate off and discovered that the gears are plastic and some of the teeth were broken off 2 of the gears. I am going to call my Aerus dealer...
