Does anyone have a Miele ART vacuum that was briefly produced a few years ago? I really need one, but I want one either new or in like-new condition. Let me know. I'll pay whatever the asking price is.

I've watched a number of videos from a person from the UK who must be the best ambassador for vacuum cleaner collecting since Stan Kann.  His YouTube name is ibaisaic, a mnenomic for the extinct Hoover slogan "It beats as it sweeps as it cleans."  He takes the time to do detailed...

I just bought a new Filter Queen Majestic canister. I already have the extra-long black hose from a 360 I used to have. Does anyone know of rare or interesting accessories/attachments for these machines, such as extra-wide parquet floor brushes or really anything that would make is a more...

I purchased this Tristar MG2 recently and am very glad to report that's it's an excellent vacuum!

I think the Hoover upright in this video is a Guardsman. This video is fun because it reminds me of the machine John Pease used to have in his collection. It was brand new and only used in his own house, which means it never had any dirt in it because there's not dirt anywhere there to pick...

Does anyone know if someone manufactures Style 1 bags for a Tradition in the HEPA material?    Or has anyone figured out how to adapt a HEPA bag to fit a Tradition?  I'm guessing the answer is no, but it's worth asking because I love my Tradition and would use it all the time if it filtered...

I almost never use my Kirby D50 because I don't want a mess in the bag to empty. But, today I had a lot of spilled shredded paper from emptying the shredder and thought it was a good chance to give it a spin.

John is pure class. Since his house has zero dirt, he helps me out with my own floors when questions arise. Here he is using the new Rainbow shampooer on the upstairs landing. He gave my routine cleaning (with Riccars) an "A". I'm proud! Of course, he's drinking his rosé from Waterford. We are...

Could anyone tell me if the bag on this Hoover is original? If it is, this would make a good present for John. If it's not original, though, I'm not gonna buy it. Thanks...

Hey, everyone, I'm not going to do separate threads for all of these new vacuums. All in one this time. To start with, here is a photo of the whole collection, minus a few vintage machines in the basement and the central vac in the garage.

Simplicity has had the Jack and Jill compact and subcompact, respectively, canisters for a while. They introduced a TOL compact with a power nozzle called Snap. I went to the vacuum museum/outlet store to pick up my central vac for the garage and to buy a vacuum for a friend who lost his job...

I have a detached 2-car garage that I want to keep clean, as well as my car. I've tried several different vacuums that haven't satisfied me at all. First, I bought the awful Hooever Garage Utility Vac (GUV) when it was introduced a few years ago. That was a good idea, but it was so poorly...

Hi, Miele collectors. The Platinum Limited Edition is becoming more and more rare, especially in mint condition. This ebay auction is worth sharing with you. I paid twice that price for mine, in perfect condition, and this one appears just as good. That's an excellent price, especially...

These photos are of Matt and the amazingly mint Filter Queen Majestic Triple Crown with direct-connect hose and attachments.

This Simplicity Verve that I bought this weekend was custom made for me so that the power nozzle has a dirt sensor. Otherwise, only the TOL full-size canister in the Riccar or Simplicity brand comes with a dirt sensor. The Verve is Simplicity's TOL mid-size canister. Its speed control is on...

This Lux Guardian upright looks just like the one I have, but it has a buy-it-now price of $279. I got mine at dealer cost for $660, so if you want one of these, this is a great deal. I love mine, btw. This upright is missing the HEPA filter on the side, but that should be an easy...

Hello, everyone. May I ask anyone who owns or has used a Miracle Mate Platinum to review it here for me. It looks like a pretty impressive vacuum. Thanks!

This looks like a pretty nice AF. The beige pain has a few minor scrapes, and the gray looks almost perfect. This looks like it is a collection-condition vacuum. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Electrolux-Vacuum-Cleaner-Model-F-One-Owner-/150603735006?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2310ae9fde

My dad was given a Hoover Bagless upright for me by a friend. It hadn't been used too much or it was cared for very well. I cleaned it up and bought a new filter, brushroll, and belt from Evan. While I was there, I couldn't resist this NOS Miele S148 TOL HEPA, variable-speed universal upright...

Does anyone here have really good or mind/NOS parts for the 70s/early 80s Electrolux uprights? I have one that John gave me, and I really want to start using it regularly. I need the inner part of the bag lid that has two gaskets. Both gaskets on mine have brittled and lost pieces that have...
