    The Vorwerk from California has arrived!

    I came home from the hospital today (long story) to find a Sebi Felix box containing a disassembled Vorwerk. Once I get some pictures I will add them here. I really would have liked to get the Junior 115 or the Lark, but Jason Huber got the Junior, and Austin got the Lark. I should have checked...

    <font color=green> New FairFax

    I have a few questions for anyone who might have some knowledge about the FairFax vacuums that are currently beeing made and sold. I recently got my hands on one that is about 1 1/2 years old, and it has the Douglas power nozzle on it. I have not been able to find anything that even mentions the...

    Classic Eureka Self Propelled

    I have always liked those Eureka uprights, the blue beeing my favorite. I currently have a brown/dark orange colored one. It is in good shape, but someone put a singe speed motor in it...

    Riccar #1950

    Certain variations of these Riccars did have more features, this was just the lower end of the line. They had a model in the same color with all of the other features, including switch in the handle.

    Is this a good vacuum?

    guess I would either let her user her idea of a "vacuum" and then just use mine over the area later, or just have her do everything but the vacuuming (it's not the vacuuming I dislike doing). Another option would be to toss out the Regina and buy a decent but inexpensive cleaner, such as the...

    How to disassemble a Concept One ?

    A question for Concept experts I have the same model as Pete here, who by the way did a very good job cleaning his up, but on my the headlights quit working. They used to light up when I first got the machine, but after the bulbs went out I have not been able to get any new bulbs to work in...

    New Hoover Stainless Steel Constellation

    I guess when the Constellation was first re-introduced, I was under the impression that there was going to be a version with the electric power nozzle, I guess my source was incorrect. Either way, it is a pretty decent little canister, perfect for what Ross needs.

    The Dirt Hunter

    That is a very interesting cleaner, I have to admit I haven't seen one under that name. The other ones I have seen are either GE, Premier, or Whirlwind.

    Car Wash Vacuums

    Units like the one pictured use Lamb motors, and can be run on regular 240V current. I personally love those Spencer Turbine units, I guess it al fits with the rest of my CVS obsession. :)

    Car Wash Vacuums

    I guess it all depends on what type of carwash vacuum you are dealing with. Most full service (other people work for you) have eithere a Spencet system or something similar to it. Typically the coin-op single user machines will have 2 7.2in Lamb peripheral bypass motors, usually 240V.

    Car Wash Vacuums

    Well I typically use the central vac (same thing really) and it actually has about the same power.

    Aerus Gaurdian VS Rainbow E2???????????????????

    I personally opted for one of these, very nice machines.

    Finally, after a whole year of waiting impatiently!

    I do agree that there are parts of this machine made in Asia, but I do know that the main housings are all molded/painted here. The clean air motor is actually the same one used in the new Constellation. Every new vacuum contains parts made(I.E. switch, cord, bearings, etc) in Asia, but this...

    Finally, after a whole year of waiting impatiently!

    That was a very early correction, they redesigned the entire fan chamber/fan. They also made the hose path smoother and less likely to clog. The new red models also have a check filter light, like mine, along with not having the need to ever afjust the bag or belt sensor ever (which were a...

    New Hoover Constellation

    I think if our cat would give the vacuum a chance, he would probably like beeing vacuumed. But I guess he can't get past the noise.
