    Filter Queen Model 33 - my very first!

    It pays to have friends in strange places! A buddy gave me this Filter Queen 33. So it's missing the hatrack, big deal -- I don't like those things anyway. It doesn't have a PN port, but I have the other attachments also. And, as you probably know, it's two speed -- and on the lower speed the...

    Dating a Kenmore Commander...

    Has anyone dated a Kenmore Commander? Do they take the time to get to know you, open doors for you, and hold your chair? Or do they just want to get right to the ramma-jamma? Ok, seriously...can anyone tell from the badge pictured below when this KC tanker was made? Thanks! John

    I am a Kirby man..I am a Kirby man...but...

    WHO LET THE HOOVERS OUT?!?!?!? Ok, I take in one little turquoise Hoover QuikBroom, and an elderly 300 couple. And an old 800. Now their grown kids are moving in... There I was, minding my own business, going to get an area rug from a Craigslist seller. On the way home, I picked up a couple...

    Thought you might enjoy seeing my Regina Water-Matic

    ...with all the tools, attachments, and instructions. Picked this up about a week ago. I'll get some better pics later, if you like. It even has the lace-edged hair dryer. Just too bad I don't have enough hair left to make it worthwhile to hook up. John

    Can you identify this hose?

    It's actually black...looks to have been modified. I have my suspicions as to what it belongs, but wanted to get some other opinions... Whattya think?

    I now live with a Princess!

    Isn't she beautiful? Gorgeous..complete, with just a regal touch of mystery....like what's the little wheely thing? And to protect my beautiful Eureka Princess from any roll around (of the head) tragedies like other European monarchies is the GE Swivel Top. Dave, the metal flange that you...

    Royal Power Tank comes home to Daddy!

    Not a rare red one like Aeolian Dave's -- but a blue Royal 4600 Power Tank! Whoohooo! And I do mean Whoohoo! Royal's were the turning point for me in my vacuum addiction. I've sort of a thing for canisters, even though I've used mostly uprights. Then after seeing Dave's red one with its tool...

    Today's find...for FREE

    A burgundy trimmed Royal upright to go with my black one and my blue one! :-) It was free because it was not working. Started at the power switch, and sure enough, found a break. Now the fires up and roars like a 747 spooling for take off -- Just like a Royal. The bag is, of course, not...

    My first Electrolux!

    For awhile, I've been wanting to add an Electrolux to the collection. Alas, it's kind of hard as around here, thrift stores carry only the cruddiest latest plasticville stuff made in the People's Great Leap Cheapward Revolutionary Slave Labor Plant #1824934, China. But I digreess... Anyway, I...

    Hello! I'd like to introduce myself

    Some of you may remember me from way back on automaticwasher.org (what a great site!) Alas, I live in an apartment, thus cannot collect vintage washers. However, an interest in vintage small appliances became an addiction. I found small kitchen appliances to be the "gateway" to collecting vacuum...
