I think the main reason is because this platform is so dated. I do check in now and again but not nearly as much as I used to.

VacuumDevil It’s a lovely machine. In great shape too. The power head performs really well, makes it so much better on carpet. I did make a final video of it.

Ahh, my first post in probably 10 years! Lots has happened since I last graced VacuumLand! To break the fast, I thought I would show you the latest vac in my collection, it is this lovely, classic, Numatic Henry, from the 1990s. This model I got off eBay for £69, it was in pretty good...

HuskyVacs They are very common over here, funnily enough, just not many UK collectors really collect them because they are a bit big and uninteresting to many of us, most collectors have at least one though or have had one. They are very good vacuum cleaners though, all the same.

Cuffs054/TheSpiritOf76 Thanks a lot, really impressed with the results! 😃😍 Huskyvacs I have read that it goes back to the way it was before over time, but what about if you kepts it stored in a cool dark place? I don’t understand how it can do that just on its own, as the brown tinge comes...

Hello all, I figured, since summer was here, I would restore some of the plastics on my vacuums that had turned yellow due to aging. The process may be familiar to some of you, known as “retro brighting”. All you really need for this is the hot direct UV raise of the sun, which for best...

They are nice, not quite as good, performance wise as the 60s and 70s Juniors but they work really well. I will do a demo soon, including the tools. ☺️

That sould of said appointment* Lol.

Vac-O-Matic The 80s Juniors had a pan converter, I suspect it was changed for safety reasons. We only had the Hoover double stretch hose in the UK. 🙂 Hoover were made by apountment to the queen! There was no toning it down! 😉😉

Hello all, Last week I rescued a little treasure off eBay...A Hoover High Power Junior model U1104, they called this style Junior "High Power" because they were 300w and not 250 like Juniors had been for many years prior...This particular example was hardly used, according to the seller and...

New management from a Domestic company is very evident...Numatic need a serious reality check in my opinion...Otherwise they will drive themselves into the ground.

Doesn’t she just?! Love it, think it looks lush now! 😍☺️ And good work from you too. 👍🏻

Actually, the original company that made this “Oreck” design was McDonald Electric in Germany.

You mean the VAX air cordless. 😉

Lux14 The only think I painted was the Brushroll, which came up very well. 😁 The main machine is made of ABS plastic. I used black Satin spray paint to spray the brushroll, when you spray paint anything makensure younare in a well ventilated area, preferably outside...Make sure the metal...

Being British and knowing what British people are like (awkward or don’t want the bother) they more than likely will not ship abroad, half of them won’t even post within the UK!!! Really annoying! Your best bet is to ask a British collector to get it for you and then ship it with appropriate...

The British marketed Juniors used both fabric and vinyl (with fabric backing) bags, the fabric bags were used on the earlier 60s ones and the vinyl bags on the 70s ones. I do prefer the spring loaded hook, over the long spring. It always bothered me why they didn’t put a grip on US models. I...

Please don’t compare a Hoover Junior to an Oreck...No where near. The Hoover Junior had the same performance as the Senior (US Convertible) just smaller...They were designed for a time when the majority of the UK people lived in terrece houses, houses are much bigger these days.

  Another very interesting tail, thanks very much for sharing! :D I have had several new old stock cleaners, earliest being 1990 and all of them, even the senior to my amazement had a new smell, it is indescribable, but it is sweet and smells good, I love it!

 HA!
