What Vacuums Can you "Never Have Too Many Of" ?

[super-sweeper]

D.T, we could've guessed your answer! 

 


Oh and don't forget, Calem,I can never have enough KIRBYS!

The Z500s from Electrolux were also a darn quieter than the Hoovers. Always wanted the Lux Z500 as a child but we were stalwart Hoover fans back then.

I actually slightly prefer the Twin Turbo's over the 500's Nar, but only just. The Twin Turbo's were just a bit more sturdy and had that nice, chunky handle.

The Problem I had with the Z500 series from Electrolux was that the brushrolls made an awful, overwhelming racket! Despite the motor being quiet. The hose suction was not great and not that much better than the Hoover Junior or Turbopower in my opinion. The butterfly tool was a innovative design but was awful for cleaning upholstery.

Someday I want a Curby ( curb find Kirby ) but don't want to do the whole off the hinge Kirby cult obsession thing. Too expensive, and too weird. I'm not going to slice roast beef and grind things with my vacuum cleaner. Sheesh.

Cannot get enough of....

Numatics! Born a 'Numatic Fanatic' and always will be. I currently have 4 and still collecting . Always been the greatest vacuum cleaner brand known on Earth, never had an issue with any of their products.

I actually quite like the butterfly tool - I snapped up a few when I went to Wilko - as you know they supply accessories from Electrolux.

The Zanussi Airspeed Lite has a retro feel to it from the Z500 though - tool to floor dial - I find it actually allows lighter gliding when the brush roll is at its most closest to the carpet and alleviates less strain to push the vacuum across the floor.

Oh come on D.T! Who doesn't like a side of household schmutz in their roast beef! It's good for the.....umm..environment? My 511's Handi-Butler almost saw the grinder tool sharpen a lawn mower blade yesterday, but instead I settled for my vintage Skil Home-Workshop grinder!

Alex, I'd almost call you a genius, if you went on ahead and used your handi-Butler to sharpen that thing. Why...Why, Alex, Why you couldn't have used that Blasted Butler!

I am struggling here... I don't understand this "too much - too many" idea... whatever the passion, space and bank balance will permit! But on a more serious note one of each and every variation of Electrolux USA and Canada production from birth through the last of the metal bodied machines and then of course one must have one of every Kirby, Rainbow, Hoover of a similar breadth to Elux, FQ, Lewyt, Westinghouse... oh hell... I want them all!!! they are all so similar yet so very different and the beauty of design, especially those of the 20's til 40's, but really anything until the 70's is just stunning.

 

[cb123]

What really can be more beautiful than the twenty's thru forty's...it's hard to imagine. It was as if some kind of height was reached, and now it has been completely cheapened away. The world really has been turned upside down. What is right is now made wrong, and as always it's first victim is conscience, and without conscience how can there ever be true quality? But most thankfully KIRBY has remained true, they persist in their craftsmanship, producing one of the finest machines ever made. Now, I think I'm going to carve me up a ham and do me some grinding...Why, I just might even suck me up some bed bugs, too!

You're forgetting the 50s-80s, Calem! I would've used the Hand-Butler if I had my camera! I could've done a Kirby Photoshoot!

My house is too small for me to realize any dream like this. . .

I'm at work with no collection pics easy to get to, but I can't have enough Rainbows, Compacts, Tri-Stars, or Electrolux. Or central vacs!!!!!! I have about 6 of those guys around!
