Dan,
Just out of curiosity. What happened to the used 35 special that you purchased
from me on eBay?

It Kenny I love it I will post a picture tomorrow that is a beautiful machine
one of those used vacuums that are like brand new
I really appreciate that you had that for me to purchase .
That's a definite vacuum I will always cherish and keep .
That was a machine that my mother got as a wedding shower gift
and I sold it years ago I always regretted it but thanks to you I found that
model again . I also found 2 others one was in bad shape but yours and the
other one I purchased was in great shape .
Thanx again

Gsheen is entitled to his opinion about Sebo's too gm1982. You are guilty of the exact same thing with your constant Aerus bashing... Trying to "prove" one vacuum's superiority over another is a very difficult thing because people are subjective and laboratory results don't reflect real world results and vice versa. Someone reminded me recently of something Aerus does that to my knowledge no other vacuum company provides... An ELECTRIC hose and ELECTRIC turbo tool on an upright. Lot's of people out there swear by Kirby's. After having owned one for almost 15 years I can say I will not buy another for everyday usage. Kirby's clean well for me (despite Consumer Reports ranking them "below average" in rug cleaning for 40 years) because my carpets look fantastic and my shampoo water isn't very dirty or sludgy. I've liked Sebo's too but after hearing they ranked so low in air flow and suction power (70 inches), I have thought twice... We all have opinions. Our opinions, however, don't constitute facts.

I forgot to add that the reason I won't buy another Kirby despite the fact they clean well is due to the obsolete design. It's entirely too loud, I can't stand the hose hookup another year, it's far too heavy, and it's far too bulky and it won't fit under ANYTHING in my home. I have found I place a premium on ease of use. If my chosen machine vacuum's up 15 fewer grains of sand, so be it. I can live with it. Opinions, opinions, they are like hind-ends, we all got 'em.

Consumer reports has always given kirby the highest rating for the carpet test for as long as I've been getting it, it's also been the most reliable. Unless by carpet you meant shampooing which I don't ever remember them testing it's shampooing ability. But yea for the last 20 years kirby has been in the top ten and has gotten the highest embedded dirt removal rating. Just clarifying not trying to start s**t.

Is correct Kirby has been at the top for deep carpet cleaning .
It's rated low for ease of use and price .
I surely hope the next Kirby is a total update but the noise
doesn't bother me one bit .
I am also an Aerus lover too as most everyone knows

That LG...
I forgot all about the LG kompressor! I always called it the Miele of bag-less upright vacuums because it cleans well, costs a premium compared to most vacs, it's really innovative, and... it's heavy just like a Miele S7. What a cool concept for a bag-less vacuum to cake up the dirt to suck more dirt, and not create a dust storm while emptying the bin into the trash. I really like LG products. I have LG's G2 smartphone and their Smart TV and they're really nice. The Kompressor is now in my dream list of vacs.

Dear Gm1982
I never said I didn't think Sebo was a quality machine, I just said its not the great quality that people brag about.
I have extensive knowledge about vacuums, I own plus minus 300 machines currently but have had over 1000, If a new Mid - high end machine is launched I buy it, I may not keep it and mostly I don' but I buy them and use them as my daily driver for a few weeks some times longer to evaluate them. Every time Sebo launches a new vacuum I buy it take it to my shop, test it, then I take it home and use it. You cannot evaluate a machine correctly buy using it a few times in the shop.
I think this more than qualify's me as a expert in vacuums. I work in the industry, I own a vacuum shop, I have helped luanch a few vacuums in our market and get them ready for our market.
My interest in vacuum cleaners stems deeper than just liking how they look or a cleaning with them, I am interested in the engineering, How well they are made and what makes them different to each other.
I simply cannot believe that a Tacony vacuum is not as refined as a Sebo considering a Sebo is mediocre at best. If Dan says the is well made then I tend to believe him as we are both Mercedes fanatic's. You know why? Refinement and quality My Daily driver is a Hyundai, its got every bell and whistle but my 29 year old Merc is of much better quality and refinement.
I also know that any product that has Tom Gasko's involvement has to be a good product.

I was wrong yours I took the bag from it because of the two perfect machines I found the one had a white genuine Hoover outer bag replacement . So I found the one you sold me in the garage because it wasn't as nice as the two others I have . The two I found have no scratches at all . I am just super picky if I have a used machine in my collection they must look brand new. Thanks again for the purchase the bag came in handy .
Gareth ,
You are a true professional that I respect I only wish we lived closer but if you ever get to the US you are more than welcome to stay with me .We would have lots of fun with my collection plus all of my Mercedes .

Dan if we lived closer I would be very worried about our banks accounts because together we would spend way to much time buying and testing vacuums and not working LOL. Not to mention Merc's
I look forward to visiting as soon as it is possible, it would be great fun. I also hope that you have your next vacuum shop going when I am able to come visit.
BTW I love those Eureka smartvacs, One of the best cleaning machines they ever made, It was a beast though. It was sold as an Electrolux here in SA and came in grey with yellow accents. I still have it some were.

OMG that would be KRAZY , I am hoping to have one again but I think it will be once I retire . Real Estate is back and the money is too good to stop now .
That was the color of our first smart vac by Eureka . They clean really well but one can not take using it for too long it is an exhaustive work out . Easier to use a Kirby G series or a Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled .

Hi Dan
That's a great offer for such a vac in that condition, but I'm good with what I got now. As much as I would like to have that and other vacs that would be so awesome to have, I just don't want another vacuum in the House. I'm just one of those upright vacuum enthusiasts who have a few vacs and one all-time favorite vacuum of mine.
Maybe someone else on this thread may want that and be really happy with it! Does anyone here want Dan's LG Kompressor he tried to offer me for $100 plus shipping in reply 45? It's only been used twice.

Another family pair
Here are two more from relatives
Convertible U4305 Kmart exclusive with the start of the signature layered stripped bag was my Aunt Dorothy's (Godmother) she bought it in July of 1981 and gave it to me about 6 years ago when she bought a Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled .
Last of Decade 800's my Nanny my Mothers mother she loved Hoover and had 3 floors to clean and had 2 vacuums per floor her home was huge 3700 sq ft . She bought this in 1992 around April we were at Service Merchandise I said nanny look how cool she said lets get it and she used it in her bedroom only for years until she passed away. Of course I got every vacuum from her
Notice how every machine from my family are very mint and well kept never scratched or abused .
