    My new toy!

    Stopped at Lowes today to pick up some things for the new place and couldn't stop myself from walking down the vacuum aisle. Just the usual bagless junk. But they were clearancing out the Dyson handvacs to bring in the new V6 models. They had 1 DC59 left which was the display, so it was a...

    I'm Moving! Free to a good home!

    Im moving in a couple weeks, and have a couple things that I dont really have a need or want for. Thought I would offer them up to a fellow collector. I dont want anything for them, I just ask that you either pick them up, or reimburse me for shipping. First, A Kirby Handi Butler for the...

    Why are Oreck's so rubbish?

    Orecks I wouldnt call them rubbish. They are great performers in certain situations. Example: Glued down commercial carpeting. A Kirby has so much suction that it clamps down hard, cutting off airflow and become very hard to push. Models with tech drive do better, but you can hear the...

    WANTED: Dirt Devil Broom Vac

    Brady, The cord is good. No nicks. It is a little stiff, but I think that's just how these cords are. Honestly, I've had my fun with it, and the bf would sure be glad to see me get rid of one. If you'd be willing to reimburse me for shipping, I'd gladly send it to you. I'd rather see it go...

    WANTED: Dirt Devil Broom Vac

    Its not in prime condition, I know. But it does run well, and pick up pretty well. Ive honestly only used it a handful of times I think a previous owner tried to repair the hole in the bag with an iron on patch or some sort of adhesive. That is what the yellowish stuff is. Youll notice a small...

    Oreck Edge Thoughts?

    I was just wondering what the community thought of the Oreck Edge? Refurbished models popped up on eBay direct from Oreck for only $120. My main floor is mostly hardwood and area rugs. I currently use an Electrolux 3500SR upright, which I adore. But I've kinda got that itch for a new machine...

    Kirby D80 Bag Conversion.. Advice Needed

    I recently stumbled upon a pretty neat Kirby D80, and Im a sucker for avocado green. Its on the work bench, in the process of getting shined back up. But I was vacuuming with the Sentria, and was wondering about converting the D80 to use disposable bags. Sewing in a zipper to the existing D80...

    Question about Electrolux Epic 3500 SR

    I've recently had an obsession with LED lights, so I decided to convert the current daily driver, my Electrolux Epic 3500 SR. However, after conversion, it seems that the the brush roll motor runs at a noticeably higher RPM and has a slight electrical smell. The new LEDs do not draw as much...

    has anyone ever seen this before?

    Back when I worked at a hotel, we had a few Dysons that barely had nubs left for brushrolls. Left them to be nearly useless cleaners. I believe they were a mix of DC-18 and Dc-17 units. Needless to say, management went to Riccar after that fiasco. I'm not a dyson hater, but they just cannot hold...

    Did you just want the main unit or the PN and Hose as well? For the whole kit, USPS.com estimated around 35 dollars. I can get a real estimate from the UPS store after I get it packaged up.
