Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I have a Hoover Mach 4.7 Windtunnel

Found it in the trash.

Boy it was a mess but think I finally got it clean

I hate to thjink what it ate

It really sucks but it moves like a bear

Its hepa fills w white powder & its a mess to shake it out

Endless white powder...

My main & all time fav is the electrolux cannister.

Guess I grew up with them

Grandma & my Mom had them

I even had one of them real old tanks once

Sorry I let it go

But I currently have 3

Olympia think its going on the e place

A deluxe silverado

a 2100

They don't pick up the fine stuff

guess I would need to buy the microlined bags

but are great for sucking up birdseed

My new fav is a old Royal 886 6 Amp

I love the all metal design

Built like a tank & easy to use it almsot vacs itself

Thing is it doesn't suck as well or groom the nap as well as the Hoover w a clean filter

It could need a roller?

I think the hoover does too

Make an annoying bearing noise...

So the rainbow came in & really got the carpets clean as I have sprayed them

It was worth iot even for a few cleans as the poor thing came all busted

But I can't see how it holds itself together with the tape & contact cement I used...

So now I am lusting over Filter Queen & Kirby

I think the FQ cannister is best for me

but I am wondering how the new Kirby G series will comapre to the suction of my Royal.

Well, thanks for a great forum.

Not really part of my collection

but also grabbed from trash

I use them for the garage & things

Kenmore Progressive Hepa

Hoover Convertible think its a 97...

Dirt devil wierd upright 12 A with a cone hepa filter & a pint bagless system. Thing is useless & its clean I checked it but it just makes noise. Misses so many things...its useless & only barely good for barefloors which I think it was designed for

Its going back in the trash
