I ran across an ad.......... like that posted in Madison, WI a few weeks back. Must be a new trend for bleeding hearts. They can't just kick 'em to the curb. God bless them! Yes......the circle of life. =o)

Hey Fred, Harriet looks so pleased with her new vacuum!!! How fun. I agree though I am sure that it would have came with a combination rug/floor tool. Great find at any rate and sure worth a trip out in the dark!! Terry | ||

Excellent find! My Dad used to have the Hoover Spirit version of this, but with a power head. Non straight-suction machine. I want to find one eventually. Great photos! | ||

Dishwasher I've been tempted to clean vacuum attachments in the dishwasher. Is there a type of detergent I should use or more importantly, a type I should avoid? The dishwasher is a Sear-branded Bosch that has been superb. The attachments run the gamut. Thanks for your advice. Jay | ||

That style of cleaner (minus the tool caddy) and with UK hose and tools, was sold in the UK as the Hoover Compact; a smaller cheaper version of the Sensotronic. The same basic design seems to have been the core of the UK Hoover Sprint models. | ||

Dishwasher and Dyson DC07 Animal...
Fred,
I tried the dishwasher out on a purple Dyson DC07 about a year ago, and while it worked great to de-scud everything, it totally wrecked the coloring in all of the plastic. What was a nice purple before, turned out to be a faded pink/light purple LOL. I think the heat and regular dishwasher detergent I used is what did it... Oh well, at least it smelled good :) Andrew | ||

All Done! Like I had predicted, this cleaner turned out really nice! Not too bad to work on either. These cleaners that are more on the BOL end of the spectrum are by far the easiest to work on... no powerhead or cord-winder to deal with! Enjoy the pictures!

Wow!!
Fred your Ward's Spirit turned out great! I really like the simple look of this model. It looks clean and 1980's modern. I also like the way all the tools store on top. I love how you have the upholstery tool and dusting brush sitting on the vac at an angle... it looks cute!
Congrats on the alley find! Kudos for further investigating that bizarre craigslist ad! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! | ||
