    Anyone ever used a Dirt Devil Platinum Force Hand Vacuum?

    I had a Dirt Devil Power Reach probably 15 years ago, it was fine but I don't remember the head being powered. I'm pretty sure it was turbine driven, but its been so long i could be wrong.

    Hoover Elite CWP brushroll reimagined

    I would really like that. I like the stiffer bristles on my old Widepath better than on my Powermax 2.

    Powermax Supreme 950

    Agreed, the tan hose was atrocious. My mom had to replace the hose after only a year or two of owning her Powermax, and then she made the jump to Kirbys. When I bough mine it had duck tape on the hose, so I replaced it with another and that only lasted for a few months before that cracked...

    Powermax Supreme 950

    I have a Powermax Supreme, love it. Parents got one for their wedding in 98 from grandma, gave it away about 10 years later. 11 years after that when I started cleaning for my other grandma I found one on ebay and have had it ever since. Works great, recently had it serviced and it runs better...

    Where do people get off with their prcing?

    Hello all, I am just wondering if anyone else has been baffled by the prices of some units prices recently. I was trying to find a affordably priced Dirt Devil Featherlite(I know people don't like Dirt Devil, but I had a good experience with my Featherlite in the past and would like to have one...

    (2000) Eureka Bravo 2 widetrack model 7822.

    Eureka World Vac I recently bought a World Vac soft bag similar to that and the plastic is so brittle it is just snapping off. The vacuum tipped over while cleaning it and the cord hook broke off, the carry handle, and a few other little bits of plastic. Going to super glue it all and then sell t.

    1964 Kirby cost vs competitors at the time

    Politics Not sure why we need to bring liberal/conservative talk into this, this is about the cost of a vacuum in 1964.

    Hoover Powe nozzle bearings

    Hi all, I was wondering what size bearings would be used for the powernozzle motor for a Powermax Supreme Canister and a Windtunnel canister. I assume it would be the standard 8mm bearing, no?

    Hoover PowerMax Deluxe canister

    Good find! I have a Powermax Supreme, the highest end model they made, and other than the frequent hose splitting at the handle with the grey hose it has been phenomenal. I ended up replacing the hose with a black more rubbery one, took a while to find one with the electronic suction control...

    Hoover Powermax Canister hose

    Hi all, I've got a Hoover Powermax canister with the electronic suction control that I use and leave at my grandmothers house, and I've noticed the hose keeps cracking on the underside near the handle. It is the 3 wire connection, and I've ordered 2 replacement hoses off of ebay and had the...

    Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled

    Hello all, I recently got a Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled from Goodwill, cleaned it up and had a new switch put in. The only issue I am having now is that the Self Propelled feature is stuck on and wont turn off. I've looked into it and it there is a small crack on the actuator arm, but from...

    Restaurant Vacuum experiences?

    Hi guys, I was at work yesterday (I work fast food) and my manager had me vacuum the carpeted dining room. We only have a cheap Walmart Bissell vacuum so I wasn't expecting much, but I was still disappointed with the performance. It took many passes over the carpet to get the bits of paper and...

    A Test of Quality. Reliability and Perfomance

    Beasts. While vacuuming yesterday with my Kirby I kept hearing a knocking from the emptor, so I took it off and out came a huge marble! I ended up throwing it out but it was so big I'm actually kind of surprised it didn't break the fan. Oh well, that's what you get for having kids I guess.

    crazy kirby seller on ebay

    I really don't see the big deal I think that just under $10,000 is a steal for a 39 year old vacuum LOL

    Oh Some People! Can You Acutually Believe This?!

    What? Do you guys not sell each of your vacuums after the bags are full? It really saves time for me not having to change them.
