    Few will remember me - but I'm back!

    Hey guys! I haven't been around in quite some time - but some updates on my collection/being 16. First off, I'm getting rid of my Kirby GSix in pieces (handle, motor unit, floor nozzle, bag, and shampooer/instruction VHS. I can't justify walking into the Post Office wrestling a box gargantuan...

    Hoover Elite C1404

    On Hoover's website, the commercial Elite is seen with a hose and tools. Being the industrious person I am, I ran multiple searches through the archives to come to a conclusion. Some say this new Elite's attachment port is merely a spare belt pocket, others say it is indeed an attachment port...

    Electrolux Epic 3500SR

    What are the differences between this machine and the new Guardian Upright? Other than HEPA. More powerful motor? Better suction and or airflow? I want a Lux upright, but not one from the discovery series and I don't want one of the ugly interim Aerus 4000 or 6000 on board tool uprights. Also...

    Electrolux Discovery III Brushroll Motor

    Hey guys I have a rather large problem. My grandma's Electrolux Discovery III power nozzle isn't running very well. We put in the new double helix Aerus brush roll per our vacuum shops suggestion about a year ago. It has been cleaning a lot better but now the motor is beginning to slow. It will...

    Bissell Rewind Power Helix

    Well guys, for those of you who knew my previous plan of buying a brand new Hoover platinum lightweight bagged upright, its been scrapped. I realized how much money I have in my bank, and that must be put towards a car, as my dad thinks I should buy one on my own. So, I decided a cheap Bissell...

    What should I get?

    Hey everyone, lately I have been having trouble making decisions and this is no exception. I am trying to sell my Kirby and Electrolux Ergorapido Ion in order to get the funding for a new power team. So far my choices are: Hoover Platinum Collection Lightweight Bagged Upright, with a LINX...

    Electrolux Ultralux Classic

    Is an Electrolux Ultralux Classic for $120 a good deal? If so, could I get any more money off it on eBay when I get bored of it?

    Rainbow D4 SE PE Aquamate question

    Can the Rainbow AquaMate III be used with a Rainbow D4 SE Performance Edition? It would seem as though it would work as the performance edition uses the new style power nozzle.

    Rainbow Aquamate I & II vs. III

    Just wondering what your thoughts are on the older style non motorized Aquamate. Also, how well does it work with the new Rainbow ultra concentrated 16 oz. shampoo? My reasoning is I would much rather use my grandma's D2A than have to buy the E2 off eBay. It would save a lot of money, and if the...

    Royal 501 motor oiling instructions

    Hi everyone! Just wondering if any of you Royal experts know how often and how many drops of 3 in 1 oil I should use. It is the older Red and Grey bag with a serviceable motor (brushes and two oiling ports).

    Timeline of American Aerus/Electrolux L-Shape Uprights

    For all the Aerus/Electrolux fans out there, can someone try to provide me a timeline of the first L-Shaped uprights to the current Lux Guardian? Any help would be greatly appreciated. To start I am pretty sure that the Discovery II came first. I have placed this in the Contemporary forum as...

    Kirby GSix Carpet Shampoo System...

    Do any of the club members have an excess of Kirby carpet shampooers laying around that they would be willing to give away? I am looking for one to fit on my GSix. It doesn't have to match it, as long as ita comparable. If it does, then all the better. I have checked eBay, but I figured I may as...

    My first Kirby! GSix 2000 Limited Edition!!!

    Well I picked up my GSix in town as it was on Craigslist. It runs good, it's my first Kirby, and needs a good buffing. This picture was before cleaning it. I have since thrown the entire bag assembly into the washer, and the results were excellent! I have also somewhat hand polished the aluminum...

    Dirt Devil Micro Fresh Filtration

    Hey all, just been wondering are Dirt Devil's Micro Fresh filtration bags worth the expense to someone with bad allergies? I realize HEPA is best. They clame to filter down to .1 micron, better than HEPA, but they don't say what *percentage they capture at that size. Any help regarding this...

    Original bare-bones burgandy colored windtunnel...

    Does anyone have one of these? This is the vacuum that was in my house until probably age 10 then we got a Dyson DC17. It is similar to the Tempo widepath in design, minus the widepath feature. No full bag indicator, s/p, etc. If anyone has one, pictures would be sweet! Thanks in advance. ~Darren

    Bissell 3in1 Stick Vacuum! Never seen another one!

    I was looking through the collections and was on page 18 or 19 of hoovercelebrity's when I found laying on the floor the exact same Bissell that my great grandmother had! I have never seen another one since mine bit the dust and was thrown out. Does anyone have any information on the rarity of...

    Hoover Powerdrive System

    Hi all, I was looking for some opinions on the Hoover Powerdrive system on the new Windtunnels. Is it worth getting or should I pass and just buy a tempo widepath? I have no problem with pushing a vacuum, but I would like to know how it is with powerdrive.
