    Kirby busy & shiny!

    Well sadly, I seem to have my mother's fingers where they curl all the time and you think they're straight! Fresh cup of coffee cream and sugar all over the kitchen and dining floor, crap! The hardwood floors are no longer sealed after 65 years so I normally paste wax there once or twice a year...

    No hating please!

    My anniversary Hoover which I recently purchased, used once from FB marketplace got suction relief mods to the front bumper,4 small holes across with my drill. It's not rare, and it's not vintage, so I figure I should modify it so I can use it! With my new carpets it's simply would clamp down...

    Got my Hoover Dimension upright back

    So my new living room carpet does not seem to care for newer vacuums, works fine with the dirty fan type. I got to thinking a long time friend of mine had mothers upright and I asked if he was still using it it's been five or six years, he said it's upstairs and I've never turned it on so I went...

    Ice cream!

    Senior day at thrift store, normally take home a few books, but today I perused the housewares area due to foot traffic. There was a $300 Cuisinart self contained ice cream maker for $16 with discount! Quick clean and gave it a run, strawberry ice cream in one hour! It works fine. Sometimes we...

    Cool weather cooking

    Stormy weather yesterday was mostly wind, but temps dropped! Yesterday creamy chicken noodle soup and this morning,sour cream pound cake. That took the chill off and the house smells better than with the heater.

    Facebook marketplace score! WindTunnel

    Saw this today on our local Facebook marketplace offered for a reduced price of $50, used one time, nice neighborhood! And tools still taped in place. I know they're a bit heavy and a bit noisy but they clean well sadly the clean indicator lights do not work at all. Easy fix? Or just be happy...

    Anyone else surprised by a found vac that becomes a favorite?

    My wind tunnel curbside find,a 6200 turbo power was just a free machine with plans to clean up a bit and repair for a friend possibly down the road, but after using it a few times and being startled by the amount of power and carpet lifting it got a thorough cleaning and moved inside. It is now...

    The Suckolux

    So yesterday the almost son was over to help me, my hands are getting helpless. I needed to take apart and probably clean the heater/fan. He wanted something to blow with, I asked what/how? He said get me the old suckolux, that sob will unplug anything, always what I use. It has very strong...

    Hoover Air Steerable

    Was cruising Target today, no plans on adding to the collection, but $80 off was almost half price. I had given away my old Air and I did enjoy it, careful with the plastic but the build quality seemed pretty good, cleaned decent. This one is different for sure, not a big fan of the hook on the...
