    John Long visits Pittsburgh

    John, that's not nice to spread rumors that I like paper products. It's always linens and good dishware and silver for me. My idea of very informal dining is the Tupperware plates and tumblers with white cloth napkins for an outdoor barbecue, but I've been known to use the semi formal...

    Lux metal body hose for Ultralux

    I'm sorry Tristan but I cant help as I've liquidated all of my non-Hoover stuff. I may have a plastic Electrolux hose left but it is just straight suction and not an electric hose. If a non electric hose would work for you its all yours. Sam

    Indianapolis Meet

    Rob, I do think you were correct about that, as I'm also a huge Buick fan. I believe in the past we both had early 90s Centurys. I'm now in a 2000 Park Avenue for daily driving and a 2008 Lucerne CXL, both of which I really love.

    Interested in a new vacuum

    Matt, The suction with attachments on a guardsman is like a convertible, thus it has fairly weak suction that is only good for dusting and maybe light surface cleaning. Sam

    Hoover PowerMax upright

    I've had 2 PowerMax uprights, first was the Burgandy MOL model and it was a machine that saw lots of heavy use and had been passed around to different people in the family.
