I found this beautiful mint hoover innovation on ebay for 20 with free shipping, but there is also this beautiful mint kenmore twinfan on ebay for like 25 plus 25 for shipping. usually the answer would be innovation BUT if i bought it i would have to trade it to chase for one of his vacs because i know he dreams of these things and IDONTKNOWWHATTODO! you guys are smart cookies....help me out.
 
Well im usually too nice of a person but there is this green powermax surpream* that he wants but is letting me have and buying it for me becasue he can get it for 60 and id have to pay 100. with my money of coruse
 
If the innovation that you saw was the same one that I saw, I don't expect it to stay at $20. It already has 7 bids in the first 24 hours, although it has just 2 bidders. That seller seems to get fairly high prices too.

Just a thought.
 
Yeah thats the same one, I dident expect it to stay at 20 but if for some odd reason it does that will be amazing
 
Innovation

If it were me, I'd not be paying that much as the handle has been snapped and glued.....which is NLA!!! Bide your time fellows and wait for a good example instead of throwing your money away on something that has such a MAJOR flaw! My $.02
 
I dident notice that, godblessamerica that you pointed that out. Now im defintaly going to get the kenmore
 
Well, the Innovation is gone....

And it went waaaay out of my budget. Much as I would give my right eye to have one, if eBay is any barometer it will be a long time before I'll be adding one to my collection.... :-(

I hope you get the Kenmore, if so can we see a video? Thats my favorite Kenmore upright, 2 speed flower power in my fav color BLUE.Ill be so happy for you.
 
Im sorry =( I wish you got it...

I just looked I was like holy shtuff. Thats way to much but I guess if I had the money I woulda gone as hi as 50.Mabe 75 if I wanted it that bad. but im in a pickle as well kinda. I have no $$ for a while and Im trying to pay down my credit cards. I figure if theres a vacuum (or anything else) I want it will come to me eventually or its not meant to be.

sorry man...thats quite a jump. happens alot more in summer ive noticed...i win alot more in the fall/winter....?
 
I think that you should go for the 4.1 canister, it is a much better vacuum. My late Aunt Thresa had this exact same model, it was so powerful and is a great performer with the Powernozzle
 
Id go for the canister too its in excellent cond. I want all 3 lol but no$$$.(so don't woryy lol)the upright has the upside down type f&g bag wich can sometimes be hard to find. I think some sears have you order them online.
 
as much as i dislike cans.....i have to agree with the guys, thing looks mint from what i can see. i say jump on it.
im sure a slightly worn twin fan will come soon..but a can
like that one....hmmmm may be a while...can all the way asap
& good luck.
 
Canister

I tend to favor uprights over canisters....but in this case I would definitely go for the canister. It looks to be in great shape!

Good luck....hope you get the one you want.
 
The canister looks to be in new condition, but I like the upright better. Classic design, very nice. Watch both of them and try for both... maybe if you don't get one, you'll get the other!
 
Just thought you all would like to know...

That I am the Winner of the 70's Kenmore Twin Fan!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

I actually wasn't going to Bid at first, I mean, I saw it a few Days ago on ebay, but because of all my Bills, mostly from my NEW $32,000 Car, well, I just figured I'd let this one go, I dunno, I mean, I WANTED it, BADLY, cuz my Grandma had the EXACT SAME Kenmore Twin Fan when I was a Kid, EXACT SAME Twin Fan, Color and all, a Vacuum she gave to me when the Belt Broke, but then got Sold at a Yard Sale by my Parents while I was at a Friends House, so you know, I just had to have it again, was the BEST Vacuum I even had to, my FAVORITE of ALL the Twin Fans I ever had, again though, the Bills I had to Pay so, I just didn't want to even try and Bid; however, while at a Restaurant in Pittsburgh yesterday, I decided to check out the Computer in my Car, to see how the Auction was going and all, so when I saw that there was only a little time left and everything, plus not many Bidders at the time, I decided what the Hell and Bid, then SURPRISINGLY, WON it, so yeah, I was VERY HAPPY bout that!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

UNFORTUNATELY, I used one of those Auction Sniper Programs to Bid on this Kenmore and even though I actually set a limit of $50, the STUPID Program kept on Bidding, so although I Won the Auction, with Shipping, my Total for this Twin Fan is $105.00, which, with all my Bills, I do not have at this time. :( I will NEVER use that Program EVER again. :(

Now who's in a Pickle now...?

I know once I have Paid for the Vacuum and have it, I will be THRILLED, but I need to come up with the $105.00 in 5 Days and have NO idea how to do it, other then Sell a few of my other Vacuums, the one's I either don't want anymore or just can't use, like my Kirby Heritage, plus one or two of my MANY Convertible's, I dunno...? :/

If you think about it, $105.00 Total Shipped is a small Price to Pay to once again have my Grandma's Kenmore you know, like I said, it was my FAVORITE Vacuum, Hell, you know what, it may even be the Vacuum that started my whole Vacuum Obsession, so... ;) Then again, when you have to Pay for something you don't have the Money for, well, that kinda ruins the Fun of it all you know. :(

Well, I think I have some Friends and Family, that owe me some Money, so maybe they'll finally Cough it up, lol, I dunno, but I gotta figure out something and FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oopsie is right Dave. :(

Yup, so if that wasn't BAD enough, the Day before, I Won a Singer Twin Fan DIRT CHEAP off ebay, a Two Speed Model, like the Kenmore AND another Member here is Selling me his 90's Model Kenmore Twin Fan CHEAP as well, so I've got a few to Pay for now. :(

I can Pay for the Singer now, cuz I was the ONLY Bidder, plus, like I said, Won it DIRT CHEAP, so that's OK and I'm sure I can get my fellow VCCC Member, plus Friend, to hold the 90's Kenmore he has for me, till I get Paid again, so that's not a problem at all I'm sure, but $105.00 for my Grandma's Kenmore, OH MY!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW... While I'm here, does anybody Reading this want to Buy a Black and Red, HEAVY-DUTY, Wide-Path Singer Twin Fan Upright????? The one I have looks and runs like BRAND NEW, only has a Blown Headlight Bulb, plus a Repaired Power Switch and although I would LOVE to keep it, as it is a POWERFUL Machine, I honestly HATE the look of the Wide Nozzle, HATE it, that and I don't use it much at all, so I decided to Sell it, after Winning the other Singer, I mean, if you don't like a certain Vacuum of yours all that much, then why keep it, right...?

I know it sounds STUPID not to keep a Vacuum cuz of how it's Nozzle looks, but that's how I feel, besides, the 50-Foot Cord kinda gets in my way to at times, lol, HARD to wind up as well, so let me know Guys... ;)
 
Im sorry but even Tho ALL of you told me to go for the canister I think im Gonna go for the twinfan. Why? Because that blue twinfan I lost was the second kenmore upright Ive bid on and lost. IM SICK AND TIRED OF IT! besids, that twinfan is dirt cheap and looks to be in good condition. But It's a hard dicision. Im gonna have to sleep on it...
