Aren't you not supposed to get wooden brushrolls wet?

I just tip mine into the trash, never had any problems or thoughts about any of it. Dust is made of human skin and pet dander, as well as anything coming from outside when you open the windows, so just living in a house creates dust. Make sure your HVAC is equipped with HEPA filtration and put...

Congrats! I might have seen this one a few times in my searches.

Yeah I have several company refurbished Kirbys, Hoovers, and Electroluxes and I just leave them as they are. It's an important part of history to both show what was going on at the time in repairing old vacuums, as well as how they were doing it. I just treat them as a variation of the original...

Metropolitan operated very ad-hoc with their refurbs. I just got one unknowingly and swore someone Kryloned it in their garage until I seen the sticker on the bottom! I've got a model L and they went to town on it with the spraypaint, even sprayed over the wheels! It also had its wheels...

Great collection!

AmtrakSebo1997 I never said it could not be removed. I said it could not be removed by just going over it with a shampooer. You will find out.

It may be, it may not be. When the site is legit and they have all their inventory posted - most of the time after I click buy and they already charged my credit card they go "oh we don't have this". THEN WHY IS IT LISTED

You cannot use a machine to shampoo out cat urine especially if its soaked in. You will never get it out. I had to rip up all my carpeting and trash it. You can use it as a rinser to get the solution out of the carpet but it cannot get it out of the carpet on its own. Water will just spread the...

Oooh wow yeah wool area rugs are very touchy with vacuums. No vacuums with nylon bristles. I learned the hard way and accidentally ruined one of my wool rugs with the vacuum. I was like "ooh wow look at all this dirt"...didn't realize at the time it was little tiny fibers being burned off from...

haha yeah I had a laugh at that statement! how does that happen "accidentally"? someone running around like a madman with scissors?

https://tinyurl.com/3ev8ystj This the one? Looks in good shape. Price might be $10-$20 too high IMO. But it's not "that" bad. I've seen worse for more.

Congrats on having a museum room for your collection, something a lot of us can only dream of! Yes once you start going through stuff you will find stuff that has a place and stuff that doesn't. I'd get the stuff set up first that you know what to do with and know what you want to keep then...

Nice little collection! Not many people know Hoover made small kitchen gadgets. I have one of the irons and the electric skillet myself.

Nice find! That's a rare one. I think someone here has one in green, I forgot who it was but it was a few years back.

The mid and late half of the 1970's did have that brown loafers tone going on with it. The early 70s was more of that vomit and mustard yellow coming off the coattails of the midcentury vogue. I have never seen an Electrolux painted in those colors before but Electrolux did paint...

Yes I have heard of this but never did it on brushrolls. I have a nylon brush for my dogs and the hairs wouldnt come out. I kept trying every way I could think of and eventually went to trying to use another brush to brush them clean and I don't know how but I guess it was just what was laying...

I mean 1988, 50th week. Dec. 12, 1988

Also I believe your date stamp is 1988, May.

Wow that is so beyond rare! And I never even knew they made full size vacuums beyond the Dustbuster!
