My Extensive Collection Part 9

[kirbyg6]

Yeah it was an okay vacuum

 

[gsheen]

We had them as Electrolux Widetrack. I bought my mom one when I was working at Electrolux. It was their Topnof range model here. I loved it. I had a Black one and a Red and grey one in my office.

 

[kirbyg6]

Wow do you have any pictures of them

 

[gsheen]

The red and grey one sits in my office at My shop to this day. I grabbed it when i Left Electrolux. I will post a pic of it tomorrow if Dan does'nt mind

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Another brand new

Vacuum this time a dirt devil broom vac

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Next up is another

Brand new never used Eureka Bravo boss 7.0 amp they kept uping the amps seemed like every few months till it had 12 amps .

Dan

 

[gsheen]

One of my most sought after machines simply because it was the first Eureka i ever saw. We had a sample of it at Electrolux but it vanished. I often see them on ebay but they are either the newer version or in bad shape

 

[kirbyloverdan]

I used to have

Everyone from the 6 amp to the 12 amp and this is the one I kept not sure why but glad I held onto one .

Dan

 

[dysonman1]

Those Eureka Boss uprights were fragile as a woman's love. I've repaired hundreds in my time, and they were all broken in different ways. Glad to see one survived unscathed.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

You can say that again Tom

Yeah this has survived because its unused that's the only way it's still around .

Unlike my girlfriend who gets used (her way) that's the reason she's still around

Dan

 

[fantomfan]

I used to have one

I scrapped it. Very loud and very cheap. They did clean carpet well though. I still have a World Vac Bravo 2 from a family friend that passed away. I was lucky to find a NOS motor for it for $36. I've used it for about ten minutes total and am probably not going to use it much more. Due to it's cheapness, I want to keep it "preserved." Most of these i've seen have bad motors or at least bad bearings.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Yes another

Brand new high end vacuum my Filter Queen Majestic 95X this is the second Filter Queen I had purchased as a collector.


Dan

 

[fantomfan]

Beautiful Filter Queen!

I have that same model, along with a 700. I love this one because of the METAL tank and METAL powerhead. This is one of the sturdiest canisters ever built.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That they are

I have a Brown with cord winder somewhere its new too

Dan

 

[cc]

I have a filter Queen Majestic as well, I use it mainly for straight suction cleaning.  Dan, my friend, if I ever decide to go on a crime spree and need to be "on the lamb," I shall try hiding out amongst  your beautiful vacuums .  By the time I am found I will be dead of old age!  and the view.....  

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Wouldn't that be heaven lol

Cliff my friend anytime you'd like you are welcome to visit .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Kirby Tradition in one of my favorite colors Blue this is a shake out bag .

Thanks again to all my vacuum land friends for checking out my longest thread in Vacuum Land history .

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

A classic but a goodie

A tried and true sanitaire upright brand new of course .


Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

A gorgeous day

To sit relax and enjoy my pool thinking about my extensive vacuum collection

Dan

 

[luxman107]

Nice pool Dan. Do you have a DE filter on that pool. ?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanx Mike

Yes I do but now my pool place sent me an email about some other type of filter material I forget what it is but they said it last much longer gonna have to check them out to see what it is .

Dan

 

[fantomfan]

Nice Sanitaire!

Those are tanks! In my opinion, the Eureka's and Sanitaires were overall better vacuums in comparison to the Convertible, but that's just me. I no longer have any F & G's, but If I find a 60's or 70's model i'd probably buy it.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Mitchell

I was more a fan of convertibles as you can tell by my collection of the very rarest of Hoover Convertibles . I like Eureka and Sanitaire but am a Hoover lover instead . Both are great vacuums
the best made in vacuum history.

Dan

 

[kirbymodel2c]

Love...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">Your Kirby Tradition. I like how you matched it with the vase.</span>


 


<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;">James

</span>

 

[fantomfan]

I totally respect that!

Most Eurekas were not that great in my opinion. I have a Deluxe Convertible that looks like it was barely used. All are powerful cleaners!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Thanx James

I just noticed that pretty Kool it wasn't on purpose just happened to be there sitting in the corner

I love my traditions ...


Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Mitchell the reason

Why Hoover was always better it was considered a top of the line luxury vacuum in department stores where Eureka was always considered a bargain brand vacuum .

Now the metal Eurekas were very good machines and the plastic ESP were the only good ones from the plastic line of Eureka .

Dan

Pool filter

I could tell by the crystal clear shimmer of the water. Nothing can do that like a DE Filter.
There is a new cellulois fiber media that can be used as a substitute for DE but I have no idea if it's as good and will give pool water that same polished look

 

[kirbyloverdan]

You are so Right Mike

That's why I am hesitant to try something new this is tried and true my water is always sparkling crystal clear .

Just wish the weather would warm up so I could actually use it for my daily exercise routines swimming is one of the best exercises.
