The other day, it came out in a conversation with my neighbor that I have this vacuum habit. She thought it was very funny at first. Then she mentioned that she ran across her mother's old Bison when she was putting Xmas decorations back in her attic. Trying desperately to be coy (but I'm not...

I noticed in photo 13 of your collection shots, there is turquoise floor machine in the corner. What brand is it? It looks like a machine that was sold under the Amdeko name, which nowadays is the Oreck Orbiter. The turq. color looks like a powder-coat finish like the old Compacts (such a...

I had to post this thread because I saw so many messages about the Hoover Floor Mate. I did a little improvising with my Orbiter that has worked quite well. I use the black plastic backup plate (normally for the scrub pads or the carpet bonnet), to this I attached 2 of the long...

I found a TriStar CXL at a garage sale that I couldn't pass up for $40. I've never owned one before though I tried selling them once when I was in college. Thought it was impressive at the time, but standards for power were also alot lower then. This machine doesn't have any tools with it, but...
