The owner of Allen County Sweeper is no longer with us. The vintage vacs have been spared from the dumpster. Unfortunately the vast bone yard of the facility has been junked. Dale's brother Dwayne can be reached at 260-824-4020 for date and time of availability. Dwayne does not know exactly...

and have it manufactured, what would it be? It can be any combination of features from any vacuum cleaners that were actually built and sold. It has to be reasonable and doable, even to include a new mold for a housing, or some change like that. You may post more than once.   Mine would be...

As the power of central vacs has increased, and the cost has decreased compared to high-end vacs, I have become more interested in them as a viable alternative to portable vacuums. They are referred to as 'ducted' vacs elsewhere in the world, and I found one called vario-vac that has unique...

On Thursday I cleaned 1500 sq ft of light colored medium thick plush carpet with Host.  First I vacuumed with a Sanitaire S647D with two 5/32" holes drilled in the base, one on each side of the belt chamber. I started on height adjustment 4, and while I liked the sound and feel of the agitation...

a water filtration vac to recommend for use in a residential cleaning service, which one would you choose?   I am leaning towards the Hyla because : 1) the 4 qt bucket is standard 2) the bucket has a handle which is the locking mechanism, so no clips to break off  3) remote control is...

There are many, not all available in the US. Beginning with the separator units available in the US: Rainbow, Hyla, Pro-Aqua, Aura Roboclean, Ocean Blue, Robot Turmix, Delphin, Ritello by Librex, and most recently Big Power, which used to be a non-separator unit, but has changed their design. ...

of this vacuum? Does NSS make the entire line of their name branded equipment?

These are DVC brand 4 packs for models 60,61, and 62. They have open tops, as do the genuine original Hoover Handi-Sacs. The shop where I work has 10 of these. If interested, please e-mail me privately. The metal clip for the top is NOT included.

I cannot remember the topic, but I pretty sure it was you who posted a link to a Dutch manufacturer that outsourced to China. I clicked on the link and saw, to my surprise, several vacuums I recognized, including the standard older style Oreck uprights. Could you repost the link, please? Thanks

I know we bemoan the proliferation of cheap bagless vacs, but I have to wonder about this particular one. Wal-Mart has 700+ posted reviews, most of them 5 star, the majority of the remainder are 1 star, very few in-between. If the machine fails, it is right out of the box or during the first few...

As my bursitis, arthritis, and stenosis have progressed a bit further, I find a Kirby simply too difficult to use, to heavy to carry form floor to floor, and too much bother to put into its various configurations. I have retired from professional cleaning (except for one client, and that ends at...

I picked up a lot of info from just listening to attendees. General Conclusions: 1) owners are starting to have more stores, as well as larger and more diversified stores. 2) no longer just a vac shop, they are becoming vacuum and sewing shops, vacuum, small appliance/ power tool repair shops...

These sure as hack look like Sebo/Windsor clones to me! http://hoover.com/products/details/ch50102/insight-102-15-bagged-upright/

This is the patent I was awarded in 1972, with nine out of ten claims of originality. Only one claim of required for the patent to be awarded. Over the years the concept has changed somewhat. I now think it would be more stable to have the hose connection facing the rear of the machine for...

Now we have Rainbow, Ocean Blue, Robot Turmix, Delphin, Robo Aqua, Pro Aqua, Hyla, and now Ritello. The new Big Power is also separator based, but unavailable in the US. I have seen a couple of other foreign names I cannot recall at the moment. A number of them use the Wessel-Werk power nozzle...

The Miele Polaris and Pisces S5 vacuums can be converted later to a power nozzle and electric hose?

Hello Everyone! I have two older Hoover uprights, a Lewyt Big Wheel, and a GE handvac that need good homes. I have converted my available living space into studio space for looms, knitting machines, sewing machines, sergers, fabric, yarn, and assorted fiber/ textile paraphernalia. Alas, the...

When I sold Filter Queens in 1972, the salespeople were told that the name of the show was related to Filter Queen and Jack Bailey used to award them as prizes. Was this untrue, or was there a switch in cleaner sponsorship/loyalty? The compact shown was with the non-protruding hose connection...

I thought someone mentioned that a few test market cities were going to receive some of the new model in April? It's almost June. Of course Kirby has been known to delay a model release until existing supplies of the current model are depleted. Any clue, anyone?
