My Extensive Collection Part 6

[super-sweeper]

Dan, my latest phone is from 1984! I had bad luck with mobile phones,I always lost them! Hello, vintage landline! 

 


Some of the ugliest vacuums were also some of the best, such as the Bison. However, the Bison was so ugly, it was beautiful! Not to mention how badly it would beat that Dyson ball!

The secret to not losing your phone is to have it surgically attached to your hand and when a new phone comes out you just have it removed and the new one attached .

I can't be a second without my phone its for my business and pleasure

Dan

 

[super-sweeper]

LOL Dan, I'll stick to having my phones attached to the wall!


 


I take my tablet with me everywhere, though. it's harder to loose something when it's constantly playing your favorite 50s songs or browsing vacuumland on the go! something that's sitting in your pocket, not so much! I remember how I lost the last cellphone, I was on a bike ride! my sister called me about something, I put the phone in my pocket and never saw it again!

Hey dan

How does the Samsung compare to your shark? All my appliances are samsungs to. Might have to add that to my collection.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I actually like

The Samsung better it has multi cyclones and the filter does not get dirty like the shark .

Go with the Samsung the Shark is nice but I can't take that filter it needs cleaned very often .

'all my appliances are Samsungs'

All MY appliances went out of warranty 20 years ago, wouldn't have it any other way!

Eric

Very nice Patriot you have there. If you don't mind me asking, what is the LCD screen for in the back? And what hose, wand & PN are they using now, still the Wessell EBK340? Are they still using paper bags or have they made a HEPA bag? Perhaps if you could post a pic of the entire vac w/ attachments, that would be nice for all of us to see.

Rob

 

[vacman33]

Might as well spend it Dan, we sure can't take it with us $$$
HA HA HA

 

[kirbyloverdan]

U got that right

Eric I am very thrifty though I spend it properly and buy the best money can buy but NEVER pay full price

I love that blue that's a must buy very soon maybe after the holidays I have a few family members that want new Aerus vacuums so I ordered them today for Christmas presents my buying will be done for this year after my next high end being delivered this week then the two Avalirs and I'm done till 2015

I haven't seen it yet in person (just know the right peo

It was just released.
They are using the same plasti-flex hoses they have been using for a while. They have a few power head choices, the SEBO ET-1 or the Wessel-werk EBK360 and the classic SEBO ET-C.

They have enclosed bags that they have been offering for some time. HEPA filter is now flush with the machine making it not stick out as far.

The screen which I'm not 100% sure if its been released yet. But its supposed to monitor the filters and there is a function to set it to air filtration mode. I've heard in the future it will be able to do many more functions, almost like a smart phone. They really are thinking about the next generation of vacs.

Also has an improved motor made just for them, quieter, more powerful and almost 2 pounds lighter then previous models. I haven't got my hands on one yet but I will soon, and will post many more pics and other details. I enjoy seeing what other high end vacs are coming out with. Even kirby who has given us a new color lol

Here is a pic of a brochure I've got.

Tristar CS

Hey Dan,

Are they using another different motor in the CS? Last I knew they were using Hong Kong-based Johnson Electric (p/n motor supplier) motors from the Legacy and Guardian Ultra in this unit. Specs were 86" water and 432 on airwatts which was better than the Elux AB-Domel VM3 but were not brushless. What are the new performance specs? They also have two nice new air systems from their Canadian partner under the Tristar logo also.

Brian

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Brian it's a brand new motor

My guy sold it to me Friday and forgot to tell me about the new motor I just wanted it and I paid him and he left . I will get the specs soon from him . It's more powerful than my MG3 I also got a pure star air cleaner , similar to the Simplicity air cleaner I used to sell in my Vacuum store .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Very excited

Can't wait to get this

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Found another Omega

I Bought brand new and used I had this one rebuilt by the Kirby factory for $39.00

What a bargain it runs like new .

Dan, great vacs, thx for posting.
NIB makes a lot of sense to me actually. First running old machines requires you to stock the consumables and that gets to be a pain. Next, who wants to have hundreds of dirty vacs around? Also it actually helps control the growth of the herd as the vintage ones are far more rare.
So when i think about it, ideally i see having a few daily drivers, NIB's (which store so much better), and a few project vacs that had to be saved or modified for the personal touch.
Some day the twain of what i have will meet what i think i should have...right, lol.

Which reminds me to say, if you bring too much rationality -and by that i mean almost any unless that's your thing- into the vacuum collecting equation, all the fun gets drained out.
Party on Dan...

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanx Robert

You are so right boxes store so much easier than assembled machines .
One day a future collector will be so glad I saved vintage NIB vacuums for them to enjoy their way .

You are so very welcome I really appreciate sharing my collection with all my amazing vacuum land friends who have been enjoying seeing the many different vacs that bring back memories or the newest machines out there .

This Proves there are kind people out there who make up for the "others"
