It's over. Classic Vacuumland is no more. All of this came as a huge shock to me. I was just refreshing the site, with one second it being the old design, and the next it being this new one. I saw the site creator's thread on how he wanted to "pass the torch" to someone else in terms of running...

I remember seeing some Youtube Shorts on these a long time ago. Basically, they're air-powered laundry chutes that work basically as larger central vacuums. Neat idea, but I don't really see the benefit over just having a normal laundry chute at the center-most point of a home's floor. Has...

For the longest time, I've wanted to adopt a cat or a few. However, that hasn't happened for a few reasons. Our family has a history of owning them, though, with the most recent being my sister's cat. One of the cats that we had was a black cat named Daphne. My parents had her before I was born...

I'm considering potentially putting an MD Central Vacuum unit in my home. I'm thinking about it being either a low-end FLo-Master or Modern Day unit, but I can't decipher the differences between the two lines. Also, I'm worried about the units being really loud, as they'd be going in my laundry...

In the past few years, retractable hose systems seemingly have been all the rage, especially in new construction installations, and new players have entered into the sub-business to try and compete with Hide-A-Hose's game. When I first heard about and saw a retractable hose system myself, I was...

I found myself this weird backpack vacuum from a garage sale in this neighborhood called "Evershade Valley". It was kind of a sketchy and creepy place. There was this guy selling various prices of old industrial equipment, along with this big ol' painting of this ball of dough with dark purple...

I've had my Windsor Sensor S12 vacuum since 2023, and while I love that I finally have one in my collection, buying the cheapest one available on Ebay was probably not the wisest choice, and you'll quickly see why... Now, it's a used commercial vacuum, so obviously it's seen some use and wear...

Alongside vacuum cleaners and trains, another one of my childhood interests has been car washes. I've always found them interesting for some reason. Of course, I'm also interested, to a lesser extent, in car wash vacuums. Now, I've never actually used them that much, just on one occasion, and...

I can't stand dump-out bags. I think they're a relic of the past that should stay in the past (are you listening, Sanitare/Bissell?). That said, I like certain dump-out bagged Kirbys, mainly the Sanitronics and Classics. However, Because they utilize dump-out bags, that means that I wouldn't...

I never thought much about the Legend ii, I've always thought of it as Kirby's first steps of them developing their "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality. However, upon looking at images of the Legend ii on Google, I saw some that were paired with Generation Series styled attachments, and...

Like a lot of us on this site, I love Kirbys. They may not be my all time favorite vacuum brand of all time, but they're up there somewhere. However, it needs to be said that their product line has been more-or-less stagnant since the 1990s. They've seemingly adopted the "if it ain't broke...

Recently while searching through Ebay, I came across a listing for an odd Kirby G6. It was set up as a handheld, but the headlight was removed and in its place was a weird-looking UV light device, which I assume runs off of the wiring for the headlight bulb. The device was labeled under a...

This is for a school project. I need it ASAP. If anybody knows, please link it here.

I get that this is by no means an original question, however, it's one that's been burning inside me. I recently have gotten back into Kirbys, and of course, that includes their various accessories, including the carpet shampoo system. When I lived in a different house, I used mine to shampoo...

I'm looking to get a decent bagged upright vacuum for my model railroad club, and am looking for recommendations. -The place has a mix of carpets, bare-floors, and these floor-puzzle tile mat things, though this machine would mostly be used for carpets, as we have Shop-Vacs and other machines...

A little backstop if I may... A few years back, my daily driver was my dad's Rainbow D4c. At first I loved the machine, but after about a month or so of using it, I got tired and resentful of the wood-paneled nightmare. However, I couldn't use any of my other machines as they were either...

This is just kind of an opinion piece, but I thought I'd share my thoughts on certain Kirby Accessories. There are certain accessories and functions that Kirby pushed that are kind of weird/unfitting for a household vacuum cleaner. 1. The Turbo Accessory kit. It seems like a neat machine, but...

This is just a recounting of the handful of times I used my Kirby G7 to shampoo. If you want to try the recipe, do so at your own risk of you, your Kriby, and your carpets. A few years back my dad got me a Kirby G7 for my birthday off of Craigslist. It had all of the basic accessories that I...

This is something that I've been trying to grapple with recently. Ever since I got my DD Breeze Bagless, my desire to get other Dirt Devil machines has been reignited. Some of them include the DD Power Pak, Visions, old-school Featherlites, 7200 Upright style machines, a DD Sweeper Plus, and so...

Does anybody know where I can find those rugs in vacuum stores that have vacuum logos on them? Some of the ones I've seen are ones for Hoover, Eureka, Sharp, Sebo, and others. Whenever I try looking them up, I can't find them. I really want to one or two for my rooms.
