Hi all, Cleaning out my collection and have an Electrolux Olympia (body only) that I'd love to see go to someone who would appreciate it. All I'd ask for is for you to pay for shipping. I bought it years ago and then promptly acquired a Silverado so this one hasn't seen much use from me. If...

Hi all, Since I'm not a repair person by any means, I thought I'd pick your brains on my Sanitaire. Last May we discovered we had a broken pipe at our mountain house which caused considerable water damage (i.e. we had to gut the entire house). My Sanitaire was in a room was not hit with standing...

Urgh...I posted this earlier but it didn't show up :-( Has anyone tried the LG Kompressor Canister? The animal version is at Sears for $379. I'm looking for a bagless canister for my mountain cabin. It doesn't get too dirty up there but I don't like to have bags sitting and fermenting while...

Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a way to (easily) convert a Hoover Quadraflex for use on another machine with a standard 1 1/4" connector? I've been using a Kenmore bagless a lot lately (the dogs are shedding like crazy and was going through too many bags) but I absolutely hate the...

Hi all, Paring down my collection and there are a few vacuums I'd like to see go to club members before i put them on ebay or craigslist. This is a Viking 507 Electronic - never used. The reason? It is missing the top handle and electrical connection. I bought it a few years ago hoping I would...

Hi folks... I'm paring down my collection and want to find a good home for these two. Would like to see if any of the Denver/Colorado folks want to stop by and get these since shipping would be horrendous on them. The model 61 is now powering up but I think it may just be a plug issue. It has...

This is from the show "Kim's Rude Awakenings" from one of the How Clean is Your House? hosts. At 2:30 in the video, there's a vac/renovator I've never seen before. Anyone else know what it is?

I remember reading a little on a previous thread about the new Hoover Platinum series and am curious if anyone has tried or bought the "lightweight" bagged version. For some reason I'm very fascinated with it right now but can't justify the $399 price tag -- even with the portable that comes...

I've seen several references to collectors washing their accessories (dusting brush, crevice, etc.) in the dishwasher. Are there any guidelines that should be followed? i.e. certain kind of dishwashing detergent, no heat cycle, etc.? Any help would be appreciated :-)

Hi all... One of my earliest vacuum memories is using our Sunbeam "hatbox" canister vacuum. It was off-white with light brown trim and had a gentle "purr" when it was on. I don't know whatever happened to it. I've been watching E-bay for a similar model but have only seen one like it in the past...

Hi all...I've been less than pleased with the performance of my Hoover steam vac and have been looking around at other options. One of my biggest complaints is the amount of water the Hoover leaves on the carpet. Several Web sites have touted the Rug Doctor as being a great cleaner. Do any of...
