    Can steam vacuum cleaners be used as a regular vacuum cleaner?

    There are steam vacuums that you can use the vacuum function independent of the steam. The one I have is the limatic carbon by TPA Impex out of Italy. The draw back is that you can only use turbo nozzles for carpet. I know they make a model that looks like a rainbow with a power nozzle, but I’m...

    Does anyone have a diy recipie for kirby shampoo?

    Encapsulating Shampoos The most important difference between extractor shampoos and dry shampoos is an encapsulating polymer. That's what makes dry shampoos dry into a brittle film that can be vacuumed away. Without an encapsulator in your diy solution all your gonna do is leave soap all over...

    A possible g series successor.

    So a few years back the patents for a crazy looking Kirby concept vacuum was found and from what I can remember there was only one or two basic drawings of the machine, I was looking at vacuum patents and came across the patent for its removeable handle, the patent includes pictures of how the...

    An Airway with a Eureka twist!

    So is it common for the cord on the pn to be a regular wall plug as opposed to a 2 pin pn plug? If this is the common cord how would it have been connected to the Mark 2 canister? All the pictures I have seen of Mark 2s with the pn socket are more like standard 2 pin sockets so i would assume it...

    An Airway with a Eureka twist!

    So I was bouncing around the vintage vacuum section of ebay when I ran across a machine you don't see everyday. It was a turquoise Airway sanitizer 88 tank with the Eureka vibragroomer powernozzle! The listing said it worked well but that some attachments where missing. I only know of 3 or 4 of...

    Buyer Beware: Rude eBay Seller

    The reason shipping is so much is because it's the rate for FedEx, in my own experience I've seen the same vacuum ship with USPS for around $40 and fedex charge between $90-120. The buyer has some control in the respect that he/she could choose the lowest cost option but higher cost ups and...

    Eureka cord reel

    I found that cordomatic made electrolux cordreels for some early models. Would it be possible to take the guts from an elux reel and put it on my cordaway or are the parts not compatible?

    Eureka cord reel

    When I first got my brandy wine upright the plug had been replaced and whoever put the cordwinder back knotted the cord making it really short. I tried to unwrap the cord and in the process broke the winding spring. Could anyone give me a part number of the reel. I know it's a long shot and I...
