    Original Big Green Brand New Thrift Find - $9!

    Electrolux Nimble model E8605 start up issues

    Now I know Electrolux has been leader in the industry for many decades, I myself swear by their 3 head polishers for just about any type of wet scrubbing, they just simply work well and seem to last forever! More recent designs of vacuums have brought a very different type of product, one...
