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.

Living here in the Central Valley in California, the air quality is so bad from all the wildfires, I just can't breathe. I ordered a Filter Queen Defender on eBay. I hope it helps.

Just bought myself a new Vitamix Explorian E320 blender a couple of weeks ago. Actually, it's my second one. I had to sell my first one because of financial issues, and have missed it ever since. I've had a few other blenders since then, but none could hold a candle to the Vitamix. Does...

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...

Ever since I was a kid, I used to watch the Brady Bunch. In a second season, there was an episode where Alice entered a jingle contest and won a stereo. I have always wanted that model stereo, and have been searching for years. Well, my efforts have paid off. I finally found it on eBay last...

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! :-)

Well, I have a new favorite cooking appliance in my kitchen. It is an electric digital pressure cooker. I've used stove top pressure cookers before, but the electric versions are so much more convenient. Not only is it a pressure cooker, it can be used as a rice cooker, slow cooker, steamer...

Hello everyone. One of the greatest loves of my life is music and stereo equipment. For the last several years, I have been without a decent stereo system, and I have dearly missed it. A couple of months ago, I got the urge to build a new system, and since I'm on a tight budget, I figured I...

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...

Hey everyone, For those of you who don't know, I love vintage stereo equipment. A few months ago, a friend's mom passed away. Recently, she was clearing out her mom's place, and asked me if I needed anything. I asked if there was any stereo equipment, and she told me there was. They brought...

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

Good afternoon all, I've been running the beta for Microsofts new version of Windows since it became available in beta, and I have to say that so far it has been a very stable system, and it looks really good too. Downloading the latest build now that will introduce Cortana (MS answer to...

Bake chocolate chip cookies! 😊

I remember when I was a kid, my grandmother had a Presto Super Speed electric percolator.  I am a coffee drinker, and I have a Keurig that I love, but sometimes I want to make a pot instead of one cup at a time.  I wanted a Presto, like my grandmother's, and found this one on eBay.  It's a...

This is my dual monitor setup on my Mac Pro 1,1. OS X on left, and Windows on the right. Best of both worlds on one machine. Running current versions of both OSes, as well as current apps. Not bad for a machine that's 8 years old. And it's fast too. 15 - 20 seconds max boot time. Windows is...
