As many of you know, I've loved Kirby vacuums since I was a kid. I've owned many over the years and have a few to this day. Let me tell you a little about my family history. When I was growing up, we never lived in a house that we were buying. We rented all my life. We also never had...

Did anyone treat themselves to a new vacuum cleaner during Amazon Prime Days? I bought myself a new Miele Compact C1 Turbo Team. So far I'm very happy with it. I have an older Miele S251i Plus that was made in 2000, that is still running strong, but doesn't have HEPA filtration like my new...

I've been looking for a Eureka self propelled upright for a long time, and when I find them, they are either grossly over priced or beat to hell. Well, I finally got lucky and found one on eBay for a reasonable price and in pretty nice condition. Here are some pictures of it.

I just bought an Oreck XL on eBay. I have a Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition and a Rainbow E Series that I really love, but I've had some severe health issues the past few years, and the Kirby is just too heavy for me to carry anymore. The Rainbow is just such a pain to drag out and assemble for...

My new to me Rainbow E Series single speed was delivered yesterday. As you can see, it needs quite a bit of cleanup. It was loaded with spider webs, and dead spiders in the water pan. It also looks like it was stored with dirty water in the pan, judging by the dried caked on mud. It did come...

Found a Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition on LetGo for $45. Other than needing the bag cleaned out and a new belt, it's in pretty nice shape. Best of all, it's Oreo approved! :-)

I recently bought a used Filter Queen Majestic Triple Crown, and need two attachments for it. I need a crevice tool and the slide on brush for the upholstery tool. If anyone has any spares of these they'd like to sell, I'd like to buy them. Thanks for looking.

I was trolling through the local LetGo ads last weekend and found this Filter Queen for $150. It is complete with all the original attachments, and a package of cones. I messaged the seller, and he still has it. I told him I want to buy it, so we are meeting up after work tonight to pick it...

Hey guys,   I finally got around to buying a replacement electric hose and power nozzle for my Compact C8.  I included a link to the PN I bought.  Did I choose well?  If not, what should I have gone with...

I can't believe there are already two listings for the Avalir on eBay. Kirby sees them, I bet they won't be happy.

Here is the web site for the conference. It doesn't say much, but I'll bet this is when they will roll out the new model, if there is one. http://www.kirby1914.com/

Hi everyone. I wasn't going to do it, but today I went thrifting and a Miele Plus S251 followed me home. I only paid $15 for it and it is in really nice shape. Is anybody familiar with this machine? I need to do the obvious such as replace filters and get bags for it. Any recommendations as...

It's a Kirby Heritage Home Turbo Group! Here's a link to the auction. I bid on it, and hope I win it. Wish me luck! Joe http://www.shopgoodwill.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=17597586

It's a mid 70's Compact Electra, and it looks super clean.  Has a power nozzle connection, but a standard hose and floor tool.  Now all I need is to find an electric hose and power nozzle and I'll be good to go.  I already have a full set of original attachments...

from eBay.  I've been looking for one of these for a while, and found this one.  It is brand new in the box.  I can't wait to play with it this week-end.  Wonder which of my vacuums, will come out the strongest?  We shall soon see!  :-)   Joe

Hey everyone, A lot of my friends have Dyson vacuums, all DC 07 and DC 14 models. One of the DC14 clutches went bad and I volunteered to fix it. I bought the new clutch, as well as the tools needed and went to work. What a pain in the tushka! I watched a YouTube video before starting and it...
