I have found a nice new machine. It is an early Hoover Conquest! I hear these are quite rare. It has the tan hood with orange bag colour scheme. It doesn't have the re-useable cup. I didn't even know they were sold over here, probably very rare. It is 14 inches wide, the smaller size. I will add...

Nilfisk has released a new line of commercial machines. I want to get some thoughts. I love their g70, gm80 and gd1000 machines. I have tried all of them. These machines have all proved very reliable and dependable. My school used Nilfisk GD1000 machines for 15-20 years before they started...

I have been wondering what the largest, most ridiculous vacuum is. E.G. the Buick Roadmaster is the largest 90s wagon, whatis the vacuum equivelant.

In 6 days I am picking up some new machines. They are from an ex collector.I can't wait to get them. Apparently there is two green Electroluxs, two red Electroluxs, a Haywin, a Hoover 407 in original box and a Goblin Ace. I will add some photos from other collectors. I will post photos of the...

I am aware that before vacuumland there was hooverland. Also I have heard about stan kann. Could anyone help me learn about these things?

I was researching older kirby's and heard about some of the inventions created by Mr Baird. I know about the double dirt meter and the Baird meter, though I have a feeling he had some other creations. Does anybody know about these or have photos of them. Thank you.

It appears that in Canada filterqueen has a new model, the "elite". It looks quite slick to me. It will be the same machinery inside I suppose. They also sell a thing called the "aqua defender" which appears to be a water filter. Links...

For a we bit now I have been wanting to work on making a prototype vacuum that I could slowly work on. What would you guys want in a vacuum. I was thinking a cylinder with shapes and designs vaguely inspired by things like nilfisk, Electrolux, Hoover, ge, etc. I want to hear your ideas and...

Godfrey's used to fix, repair and refurbish vacuums before selling them on. I have seen a few ads showing these and their prices. I quite like the idea of selling refurbished vacuums. I thought I would share some ads with you. I will add some price lists from what was pictured. 2002...

We got a Hoover turbo power junior with on-board tools called the breeze. Here is an ad.

What do you think the best vacuum is in any way you find fit.

I know there is already a few posts out there about this. BUT I have a few different versions of the godfreys gulper. I thought I would share. They made a fully plastic version with no bearings in the wheels, they just snapped into a hole with a ring. Then there was the supa gulper with...

I have a few Tellus machines and thought I would share them. I have got a dual motor central vacuum, a dual motor industrial vacuum , a s55 and two standard gs80's. I am wondering what the correlation between nilfisk and tellus is? I have only seen two or three tellus central vacuums , my...

I was looking at some central vacuums for a large house, then I got distracted looking at triple motor central vacuums. I know there are filtex, thoromatic and airflo triple motor units. I know there is a copy of a filtex/ central vacuum international unit that sells a single, double or...

I was using my Hoover 262 and thought I would compare it to a stick vac for the fun of it. I found that the hoover cleaned a lot better as expected, but this sent me wondering, what do you think the best cleaning vacuum is? for me it would have to be out of the following: Hoover 1346a...

I am looking at setting a saving goal of a refurbished kirby and thought to get your input. In New Zealand we got kirby from 1988 onward, that is heritage 2 legend to avalir platinum. I have my eye on the heritage 2 legend, g3, g4, g5, g6, g8 and sentria for various different reasons. I...

In Australasia we really do have a mixed bag of machines, mostly cylinders with some uprights. I will start with hoover as an example. We got identical machines to the UK for the most part with some differences. I have a junior u1346a, hooverette 2944a, junior u1104, 2x constellations ( forgot...

I am looking for some ideas on what central vacuum for setup you would suggest for a 250 square meter (2700 square foot) new build. That is excluding the 5.5 x 5.5 meter (18x 18 foot) vacuum area in the attic and the 6x6 (20 x 20 foot) meter courtyard. I would like an md sv or g23 equivalant...

I have been lucky enough to end up with a vac n seal food storage system. I hear they are incredibly rare ( unless I am wrong). My example is new in box with all the original paperwork, including the dealer paperwork. It seems very well made as with all MD manufacturing products. I am...
