    Swedish Electrolux back in the day . . .

    An interesting presentation and the music make you pat your foot.

    A born vacuum collector . . .

    This article came in as a news alert this morning. It's not necessarily news but I thought I'd share it. Venson http://news.hjnews.com/news/article_edaed514-762a-11e1-b5ff-001871e3ce6c.html

    Question . . .

    The internet appears to bring together people with all sorts of interests. Thus, I'm curious as to how vacuum collectors met or communicated prior the days of the computer.

    Eureka SuctionSeal™ AS1101A . . .

    Got a press release this morning re the Eureka "Air Speed" line. Air Speed technology was a re-design that eliminated a lot of the suction and airflow challenging twists, turns and distance in the air path from the floor to the bag chamber or collection bin. They've now added the "Suction...

    Allergo Advanced Electric Power Head (ZAS110)

    I first saw this power nozzle by way of a YouTube demo video. The person presenting it said it was a Hoover exclusive that was never released. What makes it interesting is that it has height adjustment and its own dirt sensor. The price runs mid-range at about 200 bucks. Unfortunately I can't...

    Sebo D4

    Hi sebo_fan, I don't know if you've seen this or not but thought I'd add it to the pile. Some of the tests or rather the way they were executed seemed a little silly but in any event the D4 came away looking good. Venson

    Hoover WindTunnel Air new infomercial . . .

    I can't tell whether TTI (Hoover's present maker) is trying to dazzle us with brilliance or baffle us with BS but it's gone whole hog this time by way of its infomercial for the Hoover WindTunnel Air. It even displays a pick-up test versus a Dyson. (They also utter the much litigated "no loss...

    Filter Queen / Heartland Health Systems . . .

    I got a news alert for the first time ever regarding Filter Queen. The manufacturer of Filter Queen is still Health-Mor isn't it. I have no idea who Heartland Health Systems is but it's upset a sheriff in Omaha. Article follows. http://www.newspressnow.com/localnews/30630256/detail.html

    Makes you wonder . . .

    Now here's suction power. You've probably seen this before but if this kid can get that much out a vacuum cleaner, why can't the average consumer?

    Window shopping . . .

    I'm throwing this out there due to the cleaner's rarity and am assuming I'm not breaking any rules. There's an old AirWay upright with an electrified nozzle up for auction and the brushroll looks decent. I thought someone might appreciate knowing of it. I have no association with the seller...

    Sturtevant Model 4 -- Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin' . . .

    This article about the discovery of a 104 year old vacuum turned up in my Google alerts this morning. Thought somebody might like to see it. Venson http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2108766/It-doesn-t-look-practical-108-year-old-vacuum-cleaner-rescued-scrap-heap-STILL-WORKS.html

    Rainbow D2 . . .

    Hi, Was there ever an adapter made to fit the chrome-dome Rainbows with the three-prong power nozzle outlet that allowed for reduction to a two-prong connection?

    Does the world need this???

    Hi, I suppose I qualify as a card carrying capitalist but sometimes I wonder. I've just come upon the Drawer Vac. It's half vacuum, half garbage disposal? Check out the link below and tell me if this would work for you in your kitchen. Venson http://drawervac.com/

    Librex Group's Ritello R1-SE

    I'm putting this out there more for the record than serious consideration. There's a new water-type canister out. At least it's new to me. It's produced by a manufacturer called the Librex Group. I sort of took it for granted that Rainbow reigned in that area of the vacuum market but the...

    LG LuV350P

    Hi, Does anyone have the skinny on this new LG's performance on carpets? The prior model, the lighter weight LuV250, didn't rate impressively as a carpet cleaner and I'm wondering if this new one shows improvement. I've had both the LuV200 and LuV300 which performed wonderfully. The gimmick...

    Souping up a Rexair . . .

    I understand that vacuum collecting often calls for bringing the "rare" back to original form and condition. But, what if you want to go one step further? Is it sacrilege to retro-fit a working Rexair Model C with a power nozzle? I don't think it will be hard to accomplish and there are still...
