    A note to V land friends

    I dated a guy once who took being passive aggressive to new heights. Ever since I have zero patience with it.

    The PERFECT Electrolux Commercial upright

    I haven’t posted on here in more than a month and come back to talks of an orgy! Nice

    Totally More Vintage Daily Drivers

    The Bison makes me do a double take every single time. It looks sinister. Makes me think of the robot Maximilian from the old movie "The Black Hole" I could totally see it cranking up by itself in the middle of the night and terrorizing the house.

    My Ultralux LX was delivered

    Here's one I found online of the Ultralux LX with crinkled finish. There were also several posted by members here. I assume they switched maybe in the second year of the LX and then kept the same finish for the Classic?

    Vacuum cleaner pick up tests on carpet

    I guess because I'm new here - I don't get the whole New Balance shoes reference.

    My Ultralux LX was delivered

    I know the ultralux Classic has the crinkle finish. But I could have sworn I saw some LX’s with the crinkle finish as well as smooth/shiny. I’ll go back and look again.

    My Ultralux LX was delivered

    This was by far the best condition vacuum I’ve ever bought on eBay especially for the price. With one exception: inside was a full bag and I mean FULL. Why on earth would someone not take five seconds and remove the dirty bag before shipping a vac to someone? I spent a little time Saturday...

    Update and Question Answer

    What on earth?! I've never seen that dual vacuum thing before. At first I thought it was an April Fool's joke.

    I actually let a vacuum go

    The other side of the coin to all of this - I take great satisfaction in rescuing things from bad situations like they're an abused child.  So many times I'll see things on eBay or Craigslist and when you look at the background in the picture it blows my mind that people would post pictures of...

    I actually let a vacuum go

    I'm guilty of anthropomorphizing objects that I've given away or sold. I know people do it with their pets which maybe makes a little bit more sense? But I've felt guilty when I've given away furniture to someone that I just KNEW wasn't going to really take care of it. I could just see my sofa...

    Kirby Classic Omega delivered!

    Yes! That’s the one I’m talking about - just like the Classic bag but with the omega patch on it. $2?! Why do I never find deals like that?

    Kirby Classic Omega delivered!

    Nothing is wrong with the bag that's on it now. It's all tied up in memories from when I was a kid and what I associate with a "Kirby vacuum cleaner" for some reason. That particular model, that particular bag. I've not had any luck locating one except for the one that is 500 miles away for...

    Kirby Classic Omega delivered!

    Took a while for USPS to get it to me I guess because of COVID and Memorial Day but waiting for me on the porch when I got home from disc golf was the newest member of the family. Lurking in the background are a couple of friends waiting to say “Hi”. All I need now is the gold bag with Kirby...

    Kirby Rebuild Program

    Received an email from The Kirby Company after my enquiry yesterday. Because of all this COVID mess I’m to call them after June 1st, subject to change. So I guess I’ll wait...

    Electrolux at Service Merchandise

    I remember my parents buying a 2100 from Sam's Club in the early 90's but it didn't last long in the house. My mom complained that it seemed "cheap" compared to the older Electrolux my grandmother had, I suppose because of the plastic body.

    Kirby Rebuild Program

    I have never had a Kirby rebuilt and had a few questions for anyone that has used this or is familiar. If I have a Classic Omega that has the brown patterned bag what will be the bag that is returned to me on the rebuilt Omega? I was hoping for what I remember on the Omega as a kid which was...

    What vacuums do/did your parents or grandparents use?

    My grandparents had a Kenmore Duo Power that I remember using to vacuum their house when I was a kid. From looking at a post here on Sears Kenmore it appears it was a model 3997 from 1979. They would give me five dollars to vacuum their house which to a kid was plenty. Of course I would have...
