Dan, thanks for bringing back memories of that Dirt Devil! I had one of those once, it was a great, quiet vacuum! I would love to find another one! 


 


Hahahahaha, I can't imagine that Dyson doing anything better than drying towels!

Alex you are

So very welcome , I post these vacuums for people like you who really appreciate seeing many different brand vacuums and to bring back memories . I am an equal opportunity vacuum lover not just stuck on one brand I love them all ;)

The Dyson holds towels very well but that's how I choose to use my Dysons if they could only get through my thick Frieze' carpet I might actually vacuum with them .

Dan,I used to have frieze! I've since replaced it with low-pile plush carpeting, MUCH better, but the DC07 is still staying outside!

If my collection was a color, it would be the color RAINBOW! All different kinds of vacuums wind up here, and don't leave!

Alex It's an ultra

Stiff brush roll used in a Aerus Guardian I can't remember when it was an early model right after the 8000/9000 .They had to use a more powerful PN motor it was also used in the Lux 6000 upright both were short lived people were complaining it shredded carpet fibers . I loved it they really took off like self propelled .
Many members on this site have posted wanting one they are no longer available I bought this as a back up packed it away and forgot I had it .

Next up I decided to buy

This Sanitaire spot upholstery cleaner I wanted something heavy duty to use just for the Benz's carpets instead of using my Hoover out in the cars . I thought about the new rug doctor but this will last a lifetime
plus I love the steel cleaning head and the pump is so much more powerful as is the suction .

Saw those in the 2014 Janitorial Supply catalog! Seemed like a nice carpet cleaner, but only if you have a business! 1K each means the average consumer isn't going to break-out the check book any time soon!

Dan I have something similar just for the cars too, Did you know you get a steel crevice tool attachment for cleaning in tight places. it has the jet built inside it right at the front. 
 
Electrolux Green brushroll

I have 2 of those green brushrolls. They do tear up a fine carpet but they can make a beat down rug look new again too. I pop one in every now and then for the indoor/outdoor carpet in the dogs room, nothing escapes those stiff green bristles. And you do have to pay attention.. .the vacuum will take off on it's own if the brush is left on and you let go of the handle.
 
Tom

Just out of curiosity, would you be willing to sell your other green brushroll? I have been hunting for one for a LONG TIME now, & they are scarce as hen's teeth! Name your price....I don't care about cost....trust me, I would pay ANYTHING to get that brushroll off you. Not joking here in the least bit! You can either reply here or use my email to contact me privately.

That's fine, Tom, thanks for replying though. I will just call around & see if any dealers do have any old stock. Do you know what the part number was for the green brushroll so I can quote it by the part number when I call around?

Dan, I am JEALOUS!

Dan, I absolutely love your extensive collection! My favorite is your new Rainbow! I have a deep connection with Rainbow Vacs. When I was at the age of 3, my aunt was given a Rainbow D4 SE PE as her wedding gift. Her husband, my uncle, was best friends with the dealer. She used it for several years and when 3 kids came along, and an inside pet, she ripped all of her carpet up and aid hardwood. The Rainbow got kicked to the garage and was there for 3 or 4 years before I asked about it. I asked her if I could rescue it and told her I would promise to care for it like it's a child, and I have. I'll be 18 years old on October 22nd, and I love that Rainbow more now then I did at the age of 3. Every evening after school when I was little, I would go up to her house, run straight to the Rainbow closet, and get it out. I have seen the new Rainbow, and your new rainbow. I am
Absolutely dying for one, but I know we just don't have the funds right now. I've tried every way in the world to get one. I was willing to trade in all of my vacs for the new Rainbow, except for my first Rainbow that is, but the total only came down to $2200. There's no way I can afford that. Lol It would have to be $100 before I could even think about purchasing it. Oh well, maybe one day. Is it bad that I've actually thought about selling Rainbows just to get to use the new one? LOL! Okay, I'm pathetic. Anyway, I love your collection! Here is a picture of the Rainbow that started it all for me!

Anything over $1,400 is too much for a new rainbow. I paid a little less than that for mine a year ago, you have to be firm with the dealers.

Thanks so much this collection has taken many years to acquire I have been lucky to own every vacuum I have ever dreamed of having and still some that aren't made yet . I love vacuums as you can tell and love that I collect every brand out there makes it more interesting as I do get bored quiet easily so owning many brands I'm never bored .

You need to do what ever is possible to get a new Rainbow they are amazing !!!

Good luck

Dan
