    Sears Stick or Broom vac

    On my wish list is to find the Sears tan/beige stick vac that my grandparents had in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s. I do own a Sears Kwik-Sweep by Regina but that is not it.

    Downton Abbey

    Hi! I’m a brand new member and for my first post I’d like to say that I saw Downton Abbey, the movie, yesterday. There was a brief clip of vacuuming and I would like to know what sweeper was being used. When I can watch the movie at home I’ll be able to pause and figure it out (maybe, as it’s a...
