    Current Fleet for my Current Place

    It's been a while since I've been on here and since then I got a new place and got a very different (and smaller) fleet than I once had. What are your thoughts about? From left to right: Kenmore Spotlite (Purchased New in May of 2023) Kenmore Intuition (Purchased New in November 2023) Eureka...

    Is this Kenmore Canister worth fixing?

    I have this old Kenmore Canister of my grandparents. I believe it's from the mid to late 60's or early 70's (correct me if I'm wrong). I've had it for a few months now, and am just finally posting about it here. I used it once, and the suction was decent for a vacuum that survived two basement...

    Hoover Concept One PowerDrive (Model U3109) Help

    So as you may already know the handle support piece on my Concept One cracked and after gluing it, it cracked again, so instead of gluing it, I bought a full handle of off ebay for $25 (I know that's a bit pricy, but I didn't want to pass it up either) to get the handle support piece out of it...

    Thinking about throwing away a Dual V Windtunnel

    I'm thinking about throwing it away after having it for about a year. The previous owner sucked up wet dog hair with it after cleaning the vacuum and the tower filter with what smelled like bleach and even after I took it apart, cleaned it myself, and replaced the tower filter a year ago it...

    My New (Obviously used) Hoover Anniversary Windtunnel Self Propelled

    Is this Windtunnel worth buying a fixing up?

    I really like the WindTunnel Supreme but I don't want to buy the new ones that TTI makes (The motors sound different). The starting bid is $19.99. The side is cracked (it looks like the handle assembly) and it looks like it could use a new brush roll. Other than that, the seller says it operates...
