Actually.. If you hold the dust bin far enough down into the trash can, you don't get any flying dust. The whole point of putting the picture of the dirt on the newspaper, was simply to show the AMOUNT of dirt the Dyson removed from approximately 20 square feet of carpet. Bear in mind, that the...

Charlie.. I think the obvious thing to do with the dirt from the Dyson dust cup would be to put it in the kitchen trash can and empty it. Thats what I do when I use my Dyson. The only reason we put it out on newspaper at Stans was so that we could take a picture of the dirt. Derreck

Tom.. It was actually a lot of fun to run the machine and to hear Stan tell about it. On this machine, he put a zip tie between the elastic retainer and the hook on the bag so it doens't have to stretch as far to keep it from wearing out. Stan is such a neat guy, for being 88 years old, he sure...

Last but not lease.. here is a picture of me using the Royal Standard.

On Sunday, Tom Gasko and I went over to Stan's and had a fun day playing with his old vacuums and lunch at Applebees. Tom brought the new Dyson DC17 for Stan to see, and we put it to work on Stan's second floor and got up quite a bit of dirt that he wasn't aware was even there. Stan rotates his...

Constellation Availability For months now, Tom has had one on his sales floor. I know that he has sold quite a few of them, and everyone who has bought one has been very happy with them. I also know that Tom was able to get them, when Andy, four hours away in Springfield was not able to get...

Curious... whether or not this is a real vacuum shop or a play vacuum shop set up in your basement. Those are some interesting machines, looks like the oldest machine in the bunch is that Kenmore in the background. I bet that vacuum works better than the rest of them huh?? Derreck

Here is the.. Electrolux Grand Marquis

Tonight, I went to spend time and have dinner with my friend Patrick Dawson. He got off work early today and went to one of the used vacuum shops here in St. Louis and brought home two very cool Hoover Convertibles for me. The first one is a model 589. It's a very interesting color, somewhere...

Andy and Clay I have three of these "Eurekaluxe's" sitting in my back room right now, one Aptitude and two Oxygen's that have been traded in on "REAL" Electroluxe's. Each one of them has something wrong with them, and none of them are more than a year or two old and in decently good shape...

Classic III I thought that this thread would be an appropriate place to share the project I completed today. Several months ago I was given a Kirby Classic III by my friend Jim Smith who owns a vacuum store and used to be a Kirby salesman in a small town near St. Louis. It was in pretty rough...

David.. its not necessarity regarding Dyson, it's the tone and manner in which the issue is addressed and the ability of clubmembers to differentiate between vintage and modern machines. You can't compare vintage Kirbys with machines of today. It's like comparing apples to oranges, or like...

Charlie.. I hear what you are saying, and this puts me in a very difficult situation. I wish that all of this craziness could be forgotten. I would respect everyone much more if they would reinstate Tom's ability to post. He has done so much for me, teaching me, and helping me with my...

Well.. I'm sorry to offend.. I think it's great that you all collect vacuum cleaners, but when certain threads are created, it seems that there is not a lot of thought put into them, and it is becoming overwhelming. Collect on, but it is in my opinion, becuase you have to be 18 to join the...

Charlie.. I understand what you are saying, and don't think I've ever done any name calling, but I have witnessed a lot of things in the few months that I have been a part of this website and this group. I went from being soo excited to join the club and going to the convention, to just being...
