    Door to Door Brands.

    This kind of got me wondering from a prior conversation. But the big door to door brands have always been. Rainbow Kirby Electrolux (Aerus) Filter Queen Tri Star. Rainbow and Kirby seem to still be doing well for the most part I see a lot of both. Aerus Electrolux USA seems to be checking...

    Rest in Peace Morgan.

    I don't know if this should be here or not. But given the circumstances I think it will be okay. Normally I would never try to speak for everyone or other people. But in this situation I'll gladly make an exception. This website, and the clubs has suffered a tremendous loss that will never...

    This is how my love of Rainbow started.

    It's funny that this memory surfaced the other day. Growing up home life was not good. I did everything I could to stay out of the house. On top of that I also was more comfortable with older people than I was with people my own age. Down the road from us was a close friend Teresa. I...

    I'm starting to understand why people are looking at alternative housing.

    I just sat at the kitchen table and got rid of a couple thousand dollars and I didn't even leave the house. Most of it all bills. After paying our house payment which was $1681.42 then a $212.32 electric bill I'm starting to understand why so many more people are starting to move to the idea's...

    Does anyone have those days they just want to get done and not fiddle with the vacuum?

    Yesterday was a great example. Last week was a crazy week. Saturdays are really the only day we have time to get caught up. Normally I use the vacuum for everything. Once a month I use it to knock cobwebs, vacuum furniture and lampshades. You get the idea. We have a cat Noodles and a dog Rosie...

    My Cobalt Blue Line

    I have always loved the Cobalt Blue color. KitchenAid had an entire line and all I am able to get are these three pieces. I look everyday on eBay to see if anything is there. I would love to find the toaster.

    Does anyone remember???

    It's so strange that I remembered this. But it popped up in my head yesterday when I got the curtains caught in the vacuum. I don't remember when exactly this was. I want to say it was 70s maybe 80s. I'm pretty sure it was a British comedy. I remember the setting being a store and some salesman...

    Watch those Kirby's. They will hurt you.

    I forgot where I left the carpet attachment for the Kirby and came around the corner with a laundry basket and kicked them rug attachment, barefoot. It sat me down. I started to swell up and couldn't walk that well. Brent said I needed a trip to the ER. We went. They did X-rays. I broke my small...

    Aerus Electrolux Guardian Upright

    The Aerus Electrolux Guardian Upright was taken off the website a long time ago. Does this mean that they are no longer selling it? If so why? I was going to buy one about the time it was pulled.

    Why did early Kenmore hoses have the holes at the end?

    I have dreaming about having a 78 Blue Kenmore Very Best Canister model since forever. What I have never been able to figure out was why they had the four air holes at the end of the hose? The model already had speed control and a suction regulator on the hose. If I can get one I would have to...

    Why one wand?

    My husband well (we) are starting a new business. I'm split time between my job (working two full time jobs basically) and he is full time getting his place up and off the ground. I have been working at getting the office and showroom up set up. With that being said I took my Kirby to the...

    Does Brand Matter.

    I never thought about this until recently. I was reading an article about a women who was talking about falling in love unexpectedly not long after her husband passed away. She went out with two men one who she had a great chemistry with (who she married later) but she wanted to try one more...

    Shark Uplight and Other Stick Vacuums.

    AT my office/restaurant we have a Shark Uplight and at my friend Maria's home and business she has a Shark Stick Duo Clean. They all sound like they are coming in like a jet on landing. They are so loud. I have been thinking about getting a Uplight for my house but because they are so loud I...

    Regina Electric Brooms.

    Ahhhh memories... My mother had one of these thinking it would be a great daily cleaner. And maybe for the most part it could have been. I hated it because it was limited. I see a lot of advertising on Ebay. I know certain models had attachment sets. But none of the advertisements show any...

    Current Kenmore

    Just out of curiosity... I see Kenmore and Titan which is exactly the same as Kenmore on Ebay. Who is making Kenmore now? Who is Titan?

    Central Cleaning Inlet Placement.

    One of my favorite time killers these days is playing around on Realtor.com. I tend to automatically set the sort feature for highest priced and dream about houses I will never in my life have. Anyway today I was doing a 3D tour of a place in Minneapolis and one of the houses had a central...

    Painting Vacuums.

    I was playing around on Ebay and looking at old Electrolux Vacuums and saw one that was painted.  I have seen this a lot usually when doing restorations.  The paint job looked awful.  It didn't even look natural.  I get the fact that people are trying to give their vacuum's spa days and make...

    80's maybe 90's Eureka

    I seem to remember a Eureka from the late 80's to maybe late 90's. It would have been a sibling to the Eureka Mighty Mite. I think it was called a Floor Show. But it wad a Mighty Might with a power nozzle. I remember seeing it in two stores. One wad a Vacuum Store in Saint Joe and the other...

    Panasonic

    I seem to remember a thread not long ago about Panasonic discontinuing vacuum cleaners.  Being that they manufacture for Sears I was just in Sears the other day and saw all new models coming out and the website still have vacuums as well.  I wonder if this fell through.   Any ideas?

    Hey Tom Gasko?

    We are going to Judsonia Arkansas for New Years so I can see my sister who I have not seen in 30 years.  We are going down 55 and through Saint Louis.  I really want to make a side trip and stop in Saint James at the museum.  How far out do I have to go.  We are leaving that Friday December 30...
