I have new vacs. I buy them new but use them and see how they work and compair. Then i clean them iut and put them away till next time But my true vacuum passion lies in restoration. I love taking old and battered and returning it to new. It can be a Hoover Elite or a Kirby 508. I sand and polish them to new condition
 
Hey dan

Did your distributor give you the new miracle polisher with your avalirs. I'm not referring to the floor waxer that's been around forever. I just saw one on eBay, and it looks interesting. I didn't even know that existed.

Thought it would be "fun"

To finally get a Sebo Felix freshly taken pictures of my new Felix Fun by Sebo .
Everyone raves about it so I was visiting my good friend Johnny "D" at his vacuum shop
and he said I will sell you my floor model the Orange one over there and you can put your
curiosity to rest .
Plus he wanted to pull out an Ice Blue to use as a demo as he had only sold one Orange fun .

Well it's an ok vacuum I love the quiet soft start motor and the stiff brush roll the end !
It's a deceivingley heavy vacuum ,very heavy to hold and to push through my thick Frieze' carpet
I used it once now I'm done . The hose is very annoying to use he even gave me the extension
hose but my God pull it an inch and the machine falls over . Very poor design for a German machine
it blows very hot air out of the bag so you not only get to struggle with the weight but you also get to work up a sweat doing so . He sold the attachments and clip to a customer and was ordering me attachments I am going to call him Monday and tell him to keep ️em as I won't be using this again .
I only paid $125.00 for it so I'm not that upset just thought I'd like it more than I did .

The KIRBY self propelled vacuums move so much easier through my carpet and are not at all that much heavier than this Sebo . The Sebo pushed easy on my low pile oriental door mat so I am sure it'd do fine
on anything but deep pile carpets .
