Do you people notice that Vacuum stores are closing up everywhere. The Market is just not there. With the opening of the big box stores in the last 20 years has put a damper on business and of course buying online. About the only thing that keeps most shops going is service calls on built-ins...

This machine is cleaned top to bottom. Gone thru the motor has the original twin fan Aluminum impellers. Needs new belt and cord protector coming from the handle. Cost maybe $9.00 total. The hood cover is not perfect but still looks good. The vacuum is not beat up a few scrapes, nicks and marks.

I noticed WalMart in Canada is now advertising Lux Vacuums. Only certain models. Now that I have seen this it strenghtens my belief that the Vacuum industry as a whole is in the Dumps so to speak. The mom&pop shops are a thing of the past...:(

Seriously what do you guys think of this Vacuum, it's flush mount and built in the USA. I think it's a great little unit, no need to put it back into the closet. The best alternative to the conventional Central Vacuum, that needs all the plumbing. http://www.intervacdesign.com/

Has anyone seen this unit in action, looks really smart and good price i think around $180.00

Seems to be a big misconception about filters out thar.. Most older machines came with the standard gray foam filter. When you want to change that dirty intake filter next time go to the Vac shop and buy the cut to fit filter. Much.........much better as this is micro filtration. And if the bag...

Running the old kenmore canister today, as I was finishing off a room I turned off the machine via foot switch. As i looked back making a motion to unplug the cord it Mysteriously had 2 basic Knots in the cord. What are the chances of this happening..? Maybe one knot but 2....:)

Just wondering about you guys that own Vacuum Shops..: What is the most common Vacuum Cleaner coming in for repairs. When i was working in a shop it was Electrolux, Filter queens and entry level Uprights like Eureka's and Bissel carpet cleaners. Oh, and a lot of Power nozzles for Central...

You know something after working in Vac shops fixing, repairing , selling and all that good stuff. I have lost total interest in these appliances in a monetary sense. The industry has changed for the worst. Consumers are buying more and more from big box stores. Society has become throw away. So...

Remember the old days of the Vacuum sales person knocking at the door..? Lux, Kirby, Rainbow etc........they came in all different colors and flavors. Some manufacurters made slight changes every year and sometimes a lot of bells and whistles were added. Here is a good example of a true Vacuum...

Tell me what's wrong with this Piture of these people here holding their phones in space. I see it as the new Dissociated, Detached Society of the new millenium. 1) Would they actually be able to live on a Deserted island if they had to.? 2) Could they repair a Vacuum.? or would they ever learn...

The latest Dyson commercial on TV shows the small handheld unit while an English woman speaks in the back ground. She states that............. "There is only one draw back with the new dyson it may have to be emptied more often, sorry" Rite on National Television Dyson admits to the Major...

The Dyson seems to be a big hit for some folks. What happened to the good old Filter Queen. I cannot see why they have yet to come up with a revised filter queen sort of idea for a vacuum. It would probably go over really well, think about some ideas you can come up with to improve on the old...

Before i did the clean up on the machine, this sticker was on the lower portion of the handle just above the name plate. It reads A&J Vacuum Service 537 McHenry Avenue MODESTO CA this business is still operating, The Singer is from 1964 to 1968. Not sure if A&J was the original seller or not...

Picked up an old singer upright metal base with the dual metal fans. Just wondering if anyone can tell me what year this model is..? Model U45 5 amp Anderson South Carolina 25980..........that is the number on the metal band below the motor. Number on the base plate is 5-640323

I stumbled upon this website when doing research on top selling Vacuums just for laughs. Good website with lots of usefull information and good reviews for the most part. My only objection was the Shark Vacuum review. They state that you have to ship the vacuums overseas for service and Warranty...
