    Brush Roll Assembly for Kenmore Powermate

    Hi, Does anyone know where I could find a complete brush roll assembly for my 1980 Sears Best Powermate Canister? I looked on Sears Parts Direct and EBay and nothing...Is another brushroll manufacturer compatible? I'm thinking a rainbow might be a match by what I'm seeing on EBay but not 100%...

    Oreck Quest Pro Canister Vacuum

    Any opinions and/or thoughts on this new Oreck Quest Pro Canister Vacuum Cleaner? It looks nice, I never owned an Oreck...mainly because their line of canisters were non-existent, at least power nozzle canisters... I may go to the Oreck Store this weekend to see it and test it...

    My First Upright Purchase - Windtunnel

    Okay, so I didn't set out to buy a vacuum, BUT, I was in Sam's Club over the weekend and this Hoover WindTunnel caught my eye.  Mainly for the color, love the green color.  I'm not a fan of uprights at all, including all brands.  I have the Hoover 1030 my mom used in the early 70's before I was...

    Electrolux Canister w/Power Nozzle

    I'm seriously considering adding an Electrolux {genuine} canister to my small collection...I've never owned an Electrolux but was always curious about them. I'm leaning towards the Epic 6000 if I can find one in great condition...I like the lighted power nozzle on that model and the...

    "Cleaning Effectiveness per Amp" What's your take?

I did it for about 6 years I was always frustrated by this labeling/branding Hoover...
