    Junkyard Wars - DIY Vacuum Battle!

    Used to love this show as a kid - amazing series that has tons of episodes. Basically these two or three teams are pitted against each other in a battle for building whatever the contraption is at hand - out of junkyard items! This one is where they make street sweepers

    FOR SALE OR TRADE: FilterQueen K31X Like New

    Original post in my link. It's so clean it's almost as if it was just taken out of the box. No power nozzle but do have the non electric hose as well as all the original attachments that are all in fair to good to excellent shape. Would love to trade for an Oreck XL 21 or newer or maybe a...

    FOR SALE: FilterQueen D31X - Like New

    No power nozzle or wands, but original hose AND a Kirby hose - both with the proper fittings. I think the original hose is coming off the fitting but that's easily repairable with some epoxy or heavy duty glue (even a brown zip tie would be perfect) - has ALL the original attachments if I recall...

    Finally - A rebuild plan for Electrolux's

    This guy. Is incredible - Jeff from Vacuumman.com - Fully restores Elecrolux's and has been doing so for about 30-33 years - and I think he told me over the phone his Dad has been doing so for about 77 - or maybe that's both of them totaled. Either way - very impressive and cool I'd say...

    Kirby Heritage II Sentra brushroll and metal polishing

    Yes, another "Kirby polishing" thread - but this time I'd like to get the best option that's out right NOW and maybe there will be the best answer here. Two questions - Can I somehow modify a nice stiff bristled Sentria or Pet Lovers brush roll to fit a Heritage II? And, here it comes...

    REAL Kirby In-Home demonstration (video taped)

    Very cool actual in-home demonstration of a Kirby DTD salesman. It was agreed upon he could only come in the hose if he was video taped for a marketing project the home-owner himself is doing.

    Electrolux 1205 replacement motors - more powerful?

    I found these new motors on Ebay through my attempt to eventually get a 1205 in good enough condition to fully get restored to mint condition - either by me or more likely by someone such as pnxluver (I think that's his username, but he does an *INCREDIBLE* job of restoring machines) and came...

    Ebay - Brand new Hoover PowerMax Deluxe canister.

    Evidently it was stored for twelve years in the original box! Looks like a killer deal: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hoover-PowerMax-Deluxe-canister-vacuum-Brand-NEW-/251019346400?pt=US_Vacuum&hash=item3a71eb41e0#ht_500wt_1208

    Emer vacuums - quality canisters Made in Italy?

    I remember coming across these a couple years ago but then proceeded to completely forget about them...sadly, as I may have invested in one recently. These look to be incredible machines, especially for the money. They seem to be on par with Miele's overall in terms of quality - a 7 year...

    Kenmore Magic Blue

    Are there any happy owners - or ANY owners - of the current generation Kenmore Magic Blue canister vacuum that quite honestly looks to be a IMO beautiful, cheap, and as per what I read a very powerful little apartment-suited canister? I'm thinking about buying a near-new one off a friend of...

    Who makes this lower-tier Kenmore canister?

    I'm in the market for a quality and powerful canister that's within a $150-200 budget and I'm just curious how the quality and performance is on the Kenmore Tangerine and Kenmore Aqua canisters. I'm actually probably going to buy an older U.S.A or Mexico made Progressive off of craigslist but...
