Stopped at Lowes today to pick up some things for the new place and couldn't stop myself from walking down the vacuum aisle. Just the usual bagless junk. But they were clearancing out the Dyson handvacs to bring in the new V6 models. They had 1 DC59 left which was the display, so it was a...

Im moving in a couple weeks, and have a couple things that I dont really have a need or want for. Thought I would offer them up to a fellow collector. I dont want anything for them, I just ask that you either pick them up, or reimburse me for shipping. First, A Kirby Handi Butler for the...

I was just wondering what the community thought of the Oreck Edge? Refurbished models popped up on eBay direct from Oreck for only $120. My main floor is mostly hardwood and area rugs. I currently use an Electrolux 3500SR upright, which I adore. But I've kinda got that itch for a new machine...

I recently stumbled upon a pretty neat Kirby D80, and Im a sucker for avocado green. Its on the work bench, in the process of getting shined back up. But I was vacuuming with the Sentria, and was wondering about converting the D80 to use disposable bags. Sewing in a zipper to the existing D80...

I've recently had an obsession with LED lights, so I decided to convert the current daily driver, my Electrolux Epic 3500 SR. However, after conversion, it seems that the the brush roll motor runs at a noticeably higher RPM and has a slight electrical smell. The new LEDs do not draw as much...

I recently picked up a near mint Oreck Platinum Pilot for a steal ($25) It even came with a new bag! For now, its replaced my Kirby Heritage II as my daily driver and its getting close to bag replacement time. I wanted to know what the community recommended for Oreck bags that fit the Pilot...

Since I'm moving soon, I've decided to clean out the vac closet a bit. All these items will be free, unless I'm shipping them to you, then all I ask for is the cost of shipping. I'm willing to break them up, so if you just need the hose, the PN or the vac unit, or parts from them, let me know...

Woot is having some good deals on the Oreck Magnesium and Dyson DC39. They also have some steamers on sale too. http://home.woot.com/plus/floors-need-love-too

Picked this up for a song, it was a store return. This is my first experience with the direct drive brush roll. So far I love it! but only for carpet cleaning. The suction is extremely powerful, rendering the hose almost useless to use. It just clamps down on anything it gets close to.

Ive been getting the itch again to get a new cleaner. (Dangerous, I know lol) What has caught my eye is the Metropolitan Canister with the Power Nozzle. I'm a sucker for chrome, and this thing is basically made out of it! Ive noticed that they are usually listed in the 500+ range, but Walmart...

Found this on the local Craigslist. I've never seen a Cadillac like this. Pretty neat looking if I do say so myself... http://desmoines.craigslist.org/atq/3176890735.html

I have a friend who gave me his recently deceased brothers Kirby G3. Id love to get it back to showroom condition for him, but Im stuck! The outer bag is very dirty and needs a good washing, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get the bag holder off the top! It is nothing like the...

Does anyone have a shampoo kit for a Heritage II they would be willing to part with? I vastly prefer my Heritage to my Sentria, and would like to make it a little more complete. Im willing to buy outright (reasonable price) or I can trade if theres something you want that I might have.

I have an older Electrolux Model L for sale. I picked it up on Craigslist awhile back, thinking that if I liked my Tri-Star so much, Id probably like this one too. Wrong. I dont care for the PN-1 or the short hose. Personal Preference I guess. Otherwise, the machine is in decent shape, runs...

Just picked up this machine on Criagslist. Shines like new! Its a model 886, with the 6 amp motor. Other than that, I know nothing about it, or Royals. Any information you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated! Also, what are the best bags to use? Thanks!

So, I lent out my Kirby and just got it back, only to find a big nick in the cord! I hate to put electrical tap on it, that would look terrible. So I was wondering if any of my friends here would have a spare they could part with? Its also missing the orange plastic cover that goes over the...

Has anyone gotten any of the LG Kompressors yet? Im looking at possibly getting one to clean up after the 3 dogs (2 Huskeys and a German Shepard). Currently using a dyson for that, but it fills up so fast. Plus its almost shot anyway. Buy.com has them on sale, the upright is only $199. Anyone...

I'm the proud owner of a gently used Electrolux Epic 3500SR with complete attachment set! Pics coming soon!

I have a old Handi Butler set thats pretty complete. Its tan in color, so it matches the coresponding Kirbys. It does need a new belt, but other than that, it works great. I would keep it, but the oldest Kirby I personally own is a Classic III and it doesnt quite fit. Let me know if you would...
