Doug wow I have been called that many times :)
Thanks so much I do enjoy EVERY vacuum I own and always buy what ever piques my interest which usually is almost every brand more so higher end vacuums but I do like some of the store bought machines just as well .
It is like Christmas 🎄🎄🎄 for me every day as I discover all the machines I forgot I owned over the years. Also as the UPS FEDEX or USPS delivers me new toys too 📦📦📦 That vacuum is a Robot vacuum made in Mexico not a Rainbow but a good copy . Hugs to you also my friend ☀️ Dan | ||

Alphonse, the Sanitaire uprights are very nice & great deep cleaners. What keeps me from owning one, or a Hoover upright like it, is the round belts they use. I have had 2 Hoover Convertible's for brief periods of time, & both of them went thru belts like crazy! If I was going to buy a commercial direct-air upright, I would choose Royal....$599 CDN at McHardy Vacuum in London, Ontario, & it's ALL METAL unlike the Sanitaire. And an ordinary flat belt, same belt Kirby uses in fact, so no belt issue on the Royal :-).
Rob PS- A new Royal will outclean a Kirby Sentria II for a quarter of the price of the Kirby :-) | ||

Dan -
Do you have the selector switch on the handle in one of the two carpet modes, and not on the hard floor mode? I am sure you do, but it never hurts to ask - I am also sure you already know he handle has to be reclined for the brush to spin… I am sorry that you had an issue out of the carton - Maybe the seller knew where was something wrong with it and that was why they sold it so cheep… Dan | ||

Dan
Yeah I tried all the above thanks for the thoughts I appreciate it , the seller sold 3 NIB it came sealed in an over box (brown) inside was the box I showed in my pictures .
There was zero signs of it being opened or used I guess it's just a lemon it has a Seven year warranty so I will go through Shark/Europro . I know that price sounds like it should have been used but I have purchased many NIB items from eBay lots of sellers know not what they have . I bought a Kitchen Aid TOL mixer a year ago for $95.00 NIB I am very lucky shopping on eBay ;) Dan | ||

Dan, if I was in your situation, I wouldn't bother going thru Euro-Pro, expecting them to honor the seven-year warranty. They will most likely tell you that since you bought thru Ebay that you have no warranty, since you purchased thru an unauthorized channel. If you had obtained this vacuum directly from Euro-Pro or had bought it from a department store, & it was NOT a refurbished model, then you would have a case to approach them for warranty repairs.
I am willing to bet it's an issue with a circuit board inside the powerhead that's causing the trouble....the powerhead is obviously receiving power if the lights are working. It could also be a loose micro connector or micro receptacle that's causing the issue, try opening it up & see what you find. What you could do if the vacuum is unrepairable, is to buy the identical model thru a dept store....if you like it, then keep the one you bought on Ebay for a parts machine. If not, then re-sell your Ebay Shark as a parts machine, explaining in the description that the powerhead does not work. Best of luck....Rob | ||

Half the time when you ask where they got it you can usually say bed bath and they will be like ok. Provided its a model not made specifically for a certain store, I usaully always win. | ||

Gee another HOOVER
The HOOVERS keep showing up ;)
This is another vacuum from my late Grandmom & grandfather this is my Grandpops new 858 Constellation beautiful green/ beige this was used about 2 times if that he used it in his bedroom wood floors but my grandmother Prefered her cotton fuller brush dust mop to this so it sat for years unused in the closet . They also had the green one with the switch in the handle but that broke and my Grandpop put a toggle switch on the canister and used it as a basement vac . I stupidly threw it out when they passed away and kept the new one instead .

Dan - that EIO model still sells today - EIO and Morphy Richards in the UK used to sell them too under the "Vario" name but Germany still sells them and the "softer" edged model. They're pretty good ones.

No , It was just a sample along with a black Eureka Boss . This is a picture of the boss in the one dusty sample room. Both these samples were destroyed a while later. I wish I could get one of each of them. I was fasinated by Eureka having never heard of the name before then.

I've never understood....what is the point of buying a NIB vacuum, leaving it in the box, hiding it away and then never using it? What joy is there in that? To me, a vacuum is to be used...I don't care whether it is new or old. I get enjoyment out of using it....not letting it sit in a box in a corner.
Just my opinion. Gary | ||

I think the idea is to preserve it for the future. How nice will it be in 30 years to see an unscratched machine.
Look I see it from both sides though , I admire Dans patients I could never do it I am like a kid in a candy store with new machines. I love to use them to hear them run for the first time and the smell of the newness . I love to have my machines on display but then I am privileged enough to own a vacuum shop to do this in and I also have a amazing wife who lets me dot them around the house. That said what is the difference between putting it in a storage room if you dont have the space and leaving it neatly wrapped in its box. when you have a few hundred machines it becomes impossible to keep them all out on display | ||

I have about 400 to 500 at the moment. I display allot of them at my office, I plan to display even more as soon as the space becomes available for us to extend. I love to have all the ones I like and even some of the ones I don't like.
I like to see the difference in designs Through the ages and especially here in SA stop them from ending up in the trash heap. I am definitely a collector and not a hoarder as I don't collect them for no point. Also if I have more than one of a model I try and pass it on to other collectors. I find it strange how if some one has a barn full of pristine cars they are highly revered amoungst the car collecting community but with vacuums if you have many you are frowned apon and consider a Hoarder. I like to see all the different models and how they changed over the years. | ||

The point Gary is
It's what I enjoy and just as Garteth said years down the road a brand new collector will benefit from my collection or Hoard as you call it .
Most people are also a bit jealous of me because I can own every vacuum my heart desires I really don't care about what those people think . I love being able to have my collection in my storage room or where ever they may be in my home and use a different vacuum when ever the mood hits me . To each their own enjoy your collection your way and I enjoy mine my way ;) Who knows when I retire I may open an East Coast vacuum museum ;) Dan | ||

Bought a hold over
Till the new Kirby is released ;) I purchased a few brand new hold overs stay tuned ...
The new TOL Samsung VU7000 in beautiful wine color this has the detachable mini vac like the Dysons but this is much better and it's corded . Love the ball design Samsung perfected it in my opinion this vacuum is very impressive . Another $99.00 NIB ebay find I have been very lucky lately . Dan

LOL Dan, I'll stick to having my phones attached to the wall!
I take my tablet with me everywhere, though. it's harder to loose something when it's constantly playing your favorite 50s songs or browsing vacuumland on the go! something that's sitting in your pocket, not so much! I remember how I lost the last cellphone, I was on a bike ride! my sister called me about something, I put the phone in my pocket and never saw it again! | ||

Eric
Very nice Patriot you have there. If you don't mind me asking, what is the LCD screen for in the back? And what hose, wand & PN are they using now, still the Wessell EBK340? Are they still using paper bags or have they made a HEPA bag? Perhaps if you could post a pic of the entire vac w/ attachments, that would be nice for all of us to see.

Dan, great vacs, thx for posting.
NIB makes a lot of sense to me actually. First running old machines requires you to stock the consumables and that gets to be a pain. Next, who wants to have hundreds of dirty vacs around? Also it actually helps control the growth of the herd as the vintage ones are far more rare. So when i think about it, ideally i see having a few daily drivers, NIB's (which store so much better), and a few project vacs that had to be saved or modified for the personal touch. Some day the twain of what i have will meet what i think i should have...right, lol. Which reminds me to say, if you bring too much rationality -and by that i mean almost any unless that's your thing- into the vacuum collecting equation, all the fun gets drained out. Party on Dan... | ||

Thanx Robert
You are so right boxes store so much easier than assembled machines .
One day a future collector will be so glad I saved vintage NIB vacuums for them to enjoy their way . You are so very welcome I really appreciate sharing my collection with all my amazing vacuum land friends who have been enjoying seeing the many different vacs that bring back memories or the newest machines out there . This Proves there are kind people out there who make up for the "others" 😜 Dan | ||

Here is the other High end vacuum
I bought today the newest Filter Queen I must be KRAZY this machine is no different than any of the past models . This is my last Filter Queen unless they make some serious changes this is another use once then store it away .
Thank God my Filterqueen guy sold it to me cheap because I almost didn't buy it but he made me an offer I couldn't say no to . I like that it matches my Aerus , Rainbow , TriStar and my next Kirby the Avalir. Dan

That is so true Dan. Many people blame the chinese for poor quality mean while its the fat cat Ceo.s of the company in their own country that tell the chinese to make it cheaper.
One thing about China anything is possible. If you want it cheaper they will do it. If you want Rolls Royce quality they can do it too. It all comes down to what the CEO,s in the western world want to pay. | ||

Well they arrived 😍
I received the new HEPA cloth bags for my new Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum the card board is very thick and they got rid of the weak spot the handle the you would use to pull the bag out of the machine .
My machine has only leaked once with the bags that came with the machine once Aerus took my original bags back and sent me the improved paper bags my machine has been dust free inside the bag chamber . Aerus claims a 250% improvement in filtration as compared to the paper bags I don't think the HEPA filter will ever get dirty :) I only ordered these because I like this type of bag and basically because I can .

Robert
Aerus bags were always high filtration now they are even higher filtration right on the package it says 250% better filtration the best just got better how are you lost ?
Can't something perfect be improved ? And because I LOVE HEPA cloth bags I bought out Hoovers remaining stock of style B bags for my Aerus 8lb Fresh Era upright and for all the Hoover & Royal light weights John Gregory of Sweeper Central in Dunmore Pa gifted me . I now own every last HEPA cloth B bag that TTI had left in stock 200 in total you can never have enough bags thanks to my great friend John Gregory Because I can ...

Yes Gareth you spotted my new White Mercedes ML350 SUV in the driveway I now own 3 two SUVs and a convertible 😁 I got white because I'm usually black only but this was a great buy so it's my good guy car . They tried to sell me a Red one cheaper but I said only old ladies approaching their 60s drive red cars my mother has a red Mercedes and I only see old woman in red cars . Dan | ||

Okay how do you get away with limo tint? I kept on getting pulled over in Fl for mine & actually had to take it off while Mr. Ocifer watched & boy did he make sure nothing was left. Ruined my rear window defogger & his comment was that I shouldn't have put it on in the first place. It looks totally stupid with regulation tint I mean why bother tinting at all?? I wish I told him him off..

These floors were installed here when the house was built in 1986 & still look new. I just take a damp towel to them section at a time then go back over with another towel tied onto a broom to dry them with. We have very little ceramic tile only in the mud room/laundry room & the baths have linoleum. Now the house in Fl had marble & only once did I have to rent a machine with a diamond pad on to re-grind them then polish them which turned out fabulous!!!
Because I did/knew how to! 😛 LOL | ||

Trevor We are very similar
You have no idea how many funerals I have been to and wound up listing my friends or loved ones home we survive off each other I belive . Plus I send my clients to my local favorite funeral home when a loved one passes .
Nothing but the best cars to drive to show a home or take you home ;) If I wasn't so sensitive I would love to be in the Funeral business but I think I'd be crying too much 😢 I have it in my will that if I pass I only want to ride in the back of my Mercedes SUV that's what I want and my friends at the Funeral Parlor know that and will honor my last wishes .

Wow this is very
Impressive I just received a call from Shark to check in on my new vacuum the sent me as a replacement .
It's an ok vacuum but this extra special treatment goes a long way and more companies should practice this kind of customer service . They asked me two questions after seeing I was pleased with the way I was treated as a valuable customer . 1. What I liked most about Shark I said customer service . 2. What I liked least about shark I said machine needs to be multi cyclonic instead of single . Dan

Oh lord I know all too well about those pine needles, they make great mulch but that's about that...lol I've got those plus oak, cedar, hemlock, a red maple & one other that I can't think of but those acorns...not being hit on the head with them but slipping on them & going down the hill in the front yard! I was LOLing as I was sliding down the front yard... I never claimed to be the sharpest knife in the drawer but I'm 2 sandwiches short of a picnic!!😃

lol I'm sure Gareth
In the box they call it a wet and dry vac because they can't use the shop vac name but that's basically what I've called them for years I can see other countries calling vacuuming hoovering surprised that never caught on in the US .
I find the Sears craftsman hold up better and last the longest I used to buy shop vac but they would burn up after a few uses after 3 of those I will never buy another SV . Dan | ||

Party... Yeth... Not me the life of
I have to look for "the party flag". This is a cool idea we came up with ...someone puts a party flag out in their yard with time & date which everyone is invited to in the neighbourhood. So far it's been a hit in this small area.. byob or whatever for 2 hours where we catch up on what each of us has been doing/going & it's never boring as I only missed 1 as I was too tired after a 6 mile hike in the mountains.

This is a repost
Of the beginning of my NIB KIRBYS
Adam M is wondering why I haven't posted any yet well Adam it's because I've been working hard making money 💰💴💵💷 so I can buy what ever vacuum my big heart desires . Since I have no way of contacting you I will say this PLEASE don't doubt me I can back up everything I say you can see through this longest ever thread on vacuum land I own thousands of $$$ worth of vacuums . This is my first NIB Kirby my Heritage from the 80s I thought my first NIB was my Tradition well I used that because I was only collecting KIRBYS and Convertible Hoovers in the 70s as a child . I do have the entire Generation series NIB ... Stay tuned for many more ... Copyright ©2014 Because I can...®™ Dan

Number two
In the Generation Series the unused NIB G4 I loved the blue color when it came out .
I had two but sold my used one to my friend Nora after I gave it to my parents to use when I was trying to convert them to Kirby that didn't work as they are diehard Aerus fans . This is from July of 1993 it has the 80th anniversary handle which I bought the label when it arrived in 1994 . Dan | ||

Thanks Rex
I called my guy yesterday he said he was going to the docks to pick up an order that just came in he said it was 100 Kirby's but he has no idea if they will be Avalirs or Sentria IIs .
If they are not Avalirs then he will have to sell all 100 Sentria IIs before he revives the Avalirs . We shall see stay tuned ;) Dan | ||

That was from Hawaii they sell the most Kirby's in the US so they sold out of Sentra IIs
They are lucky slowly but surely they will be released as each state has to sell a certain amount of Sentria IIs aloted to them . I am hoping its soon at least before 2014 is over . I have two ordered plus one of the new multi floor care kits . Dan | ||

Kool congratulations
Rex I know there will be good deals on the Avalir but I always buy two from my guy because I get amazing prices on them and they can't be beat plus I want two registered in my name in case I ever want to send the one I use to be factory rebuilt .Now that I have my ocean front condo I use Kirby here also but I will wait to find a good deal on a NIB machine either from eBay or else where . I have 4 Sentria IIs two from my Kirby guy and two from eBay at amazing prices .

Hi, Dan, I hope you get one before Christmas.... I'm looking forward to you reporting back on what the Avalir is like in person. We'll be lucky over here to see it before Feb/March next year for a guess. I've been looking at the Avalir proof book and it looks great. I like how the red letter Ks on the bag are only on the front and not the side/back. I also like how they've changed the front wheels on it. I'm looking forward to trying the new multi-surface shampooer.

May God bless those who exhibit forms of
Jealousy is an emotion, and the word typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something of great personal value, particularly in reference to a human connection. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, resentment, inadequacy, helplessness and disgust. In its original meaning, jealousy is distinct from envy, though the two terms have popularly become synonymous in the English language, with jealousy now also taking on the definition originally used for envy alone. Jealousy is a typical experience in human relationships. It has been observed in infants five months and older.[1][2][3][4] Some claim that jealousy is seen in every culture;[5][6][7] however, others claim jealousy is a culture-specific phenomenon.[8]
Jealousy is often reinforced as a series of particularly strong emotions and constructed as a universal human experience; it has been a theme of many artistic works. Psychologists have proposed several models of the processes underlying jealousy and have identified factors that result in jealousy. Sociologists have demonstrated that cultural beliefs and values play an important role in determining what triggers jealousy and what constitutes socially acceptable expressions of jealousy. Biologists have identified factors that may unconsciously influence the expression of jealousy. Artists have explored the theme of jealousy in photographs, paintings, movies, songs, plays, poems, and books. Theologians have offered religious views of jealousy based on the scriptures of their respective faiths. Pleas try to find peace in your lives and maybe one day you'll be blessed as I have been 🙏 Dan | ||

I'd like to thank Dan for sharing his collection. If you don't want to see his collection, you don't have to open his thread. He should be proud of his collection.

What does jealousy have to do with your posting behaviour on Vacuumland? Sure, some members here may be jealous of you....that's only natural since you have such a large & varied collection that not many others can match. But that has NOTHING to do with your posting behaviour, & is NOT a reasonable excuse to cause arguments, insult or belittle other members. And has it ever occured to you that maybe perhaps being insulting, belittling & causing arguments with other members may be helping to cause that jealousy in them in the first place?
All I know is, so far 17 other members here on Vacuumland have "liked" my comment. Maybe it's time for you to reflect on your posting behaviour & style & maybe be a little bit kinder & gentler to other members here on Vacuumland. I'm sure we would all regret seeing your posts on here if Unimatic1140 decided to delete & ban you from the site. Rob | ||

It's time to close this thread and start a new one.
Enough with the insults and bickering in this thread, if you don't like the posting style of a particular member, you can block them or simply don't read their threads. If you continue to read their posts then you have no one to blame but yourself. If I see anyone post anymore personal attacks, it will be the last time they post anything. | ||
