My Extensive Collection Part 9

Electrolux Special Edition

Sold in stores I bought this at Best a catalog store that was in King Of Prussia when I lived in Pa .


My Pennsylvania Electrolux guy was working at the store demoing these and he would come to your home and show it there and sell you this or a Better machine .

What a long day

After selling and listing houses a 2 hour gym workout and a 10.5 mile walk on the boardwalk and an 18.8 mile bike ride I found a second to post a Sears Kenmore progressive brand new of course from the 90's one of the better built ones .

Dan

 

[marks_here]

I had that one too, worked really great. It was borrowed by a neighbour who then moved with it..LOL so with that happening we got our Kirby G4 so it was a win win all around

 

[turbomaster1984]

A member on the washer site had this very same issue with poor photo quality from his mobile phone and he got pictures like this with that awful haze on them.

He took a Q tip and dipped it in rubbing alcohol and gave the camera lens a darn good clean. Now his pics are very sharp without a greasy haze. I tried it too and it works!

 

[kirbyloverdan]

You went from

Very good to "THE" best so it worked out in your favor Mark

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Another favorite

An Electrolux ProLux commercial upright brand new yet again . It was recalled they gave me a new handle but I like the original one so I left it as is .


Dan

 

[marks_here]

Yep, had them at the hotel chain I worked for & boy did they hold up!! Just wish we had more rooms so we could have upgraded to those.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

That's why Aerus is

Reluctant to change these machines if it ain't broken don't fix it .
One of the BEST uprights around my entire family loves these uprights and I do
too . I have yet to hear them complain or have problems they are a perfect vacuum to gift
they are like a timex they take a lickin and keep on tickin .

Dan

 

[sptyks]

So Dan, how would you compare the performance of this machine to a Kirby G series vacuum?

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Stan you and I

Both know that the Kirby will out clean the Aerus ...

But for my family members in which I purchase vacuums for Aerus is "THE" best choice for ease of use and they do a great job cleaning and outlast many other brands of vacuums .

I purchase this brand exclusively for my family so I don't have to hear
my vacuum is broken or I don't know how to use it as you well know a Kirby is not everyone's vacuum and Aerus fits more people .

Great question but you already knew the answer

Dan

 

[sptyks]

Dan, thanks for responding. And you're right, I already knew the answer. I was just making sure you hadn't changed your mind about Kirby.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Stan

I NEVER will change my mind about Kirby but I am not stuck on just "one" brand I love many brands


Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Another Brand New

High end vacuum my Tri Star DXL with the new style powernozzle .

I love this machine built like a tank lasts a lifetime but mine will last several right here
In the box

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Dirt Devils answer

To the Hoover Elites it was an OK vacuum for its time not as good as the Hoovers but better than the Eureka Bravos of the same time plus this was made in the U.S. one of the last ones built here .

[kirbyloverdan]

My Amazingly wonderful great friend

John Gregory of sweeper central in Dunmore Pa .strikes again ...

I come home and find this awesome surprise at my door waiting for me

Now that TTi owns Oreck John Gregory called the President and ordered me one of my Favorite
Orecks the Oreck Axis that they are clearing out . He said he got an awesome deal better than the
one on eBay that he couldn't resist getting one for me as a gift .

I love the Blue and also own the Green one it also is NIB these will be put away for a future
collector (s) to enjoy one day .

Dan

[kirbyloverdan]

I think everyone

Should get this Oreck whats to question ?


Dan

 

[sptyks]

I heard that the 8 lb. Tacony vacs are better deep cleaners.


 

 

[kirbyloverdan]

They are

But this is close better than the classic Orecks .

The 8lb Taconys can out clean a Kirby from what I have heard .


Dan

 

[miskini]

John Gregory

Seems like a great guy. I see so many positive things posted about him. I might have to call him next week and have him ship me a new Hoover. On another note Dan, I was browsing eBay, and noticed some seller is using pictures from your thread, to sell his aerus vacuums.

Alphonse

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Alphonse

John Gregory is such a kind hearted friend the MOST knowledgeable person when it comes to HOOVER nobody knows more than John Gregory when it comes to HOOVER period .

You'll really enjoy speaking to him I always do .

Yeah my great friend Mark pointed that out to me I am going to have to contact EBay and have my pictures removed . Thank you and I can't wait to see which HOOVER you choose .

Dan

 

[ctvacman]

Yea meant to tell you about the ebay picture thing too.

 

[dysonman1]

Dan:
One of the things I like about you (among many things) is that you like all kinds and brands of vacuums. I find collectors that only dwell on one brand to be sad and pathetic. The ones who think the sun rises and sets with just one brand - and that brand could do not wrong - are like people who eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with nothing else. I find this kind of person usually turns out to be lonely, dried up old spinsters.

John Gregory is a hoot to talk to. You know the expression "If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, sit here by me"? That's why I talk to John. He knows the filth and dirt, and isn't afraid to spill it. He makes me laugh, and knows more about current vacuums than anyone else I've talked to. He's a great guy. Thanks for introducing me to him.

 

[marks_here]

I just can't get over

Grown men skipping around with a vacuum cleaner...

 

[sptyks]

So Mark, have you been spying on me again?

Dysonman1: While I'd agree that people who "who think the sun rises and sets with just one brand - and that brand could do no wrong" need to be more open minded, I've seen some beautiful smaller collections that focused on a particular brand.
