I dont know that I agree with you their sebofan. I have only seen a handfull of canisters that store hoses onboard. Only dyson did it efficiently but they no longer offer these models. AEG tried but it was more work to try and get the hose wrapped than anything else.
I stand corrected but other than dyson's dc08,11,20,21,22,23 models and the aeg I have not seen a Modern (last 10 years ) sledge cylinder that stores its hose, wand , floor tool onboard without the machine in park position meaning it takes up as much space as a large upright. The dc23 was big seller because of this feature here in SA |

Lovin' the NIB pictures! Hoover seems to have had a nice graphic design department. How could one not want one of those Hoovers? "Made in the USA" is proudly displayed on the box, it's lightweight, and has a large dust capacity. Everything that even contemporary consumers want. Bagless isn't always what they're cracked up to be. |

Glad you are enjoying my thread 😊
I am a clean freak so only brand new or close toning vacuums are for me only . As of right now I am keeping all of my vintage Hoovers as for Orecks I only have brand new modern ones . God I remember Being 15 just a few years ago 😜 trust me you'll have a large collection very soon especially working in a vacuum shop . Dan |

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

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 . Dan

Your backyard looks beautiful in winter and spring Dan. I spent all weekend opening up my parents pool for them. It is nice to finally see sunshine again. Now if that water will just get a little warmer..... |

Oh that's the big one you was telling me about...very impressive that they all look very happy & healthy. They must really like the environment you gave created for them. I had some but the raccoons liked them better then I could keep them in my pond. First time I threw in the towel on a garden project.

I was pleasantly surprised how clear my pool was once we removed the cover .
I know I can't wait till mine warms up Gonna have to crank up the heater once I hook everything back up . Mark , Yes sir that be them 😜 when I first had pond installed I came home saw what I thought was a beautiful statue of a Blue Herring I called my mom to thank her as I was walking out to get a closer look then the damn thing flew off and scared the hell outta me . He ate many of my Koi I had to go buy more plus a net to keep him away . I was pissed I had a beautiful Blue and yellow Koi and he was eaten alive . Dan |

Still no fun it's a neat looking vacuum just very heavy to push and to carry up stairs .
I tried to use vacuum as it shoud be with hose by removing PN and lowering handle I am sorry but some complain about using KIrby attachments they are a breeze compared to lugging the Felix around to dust or vacuum the sofa . Dan |

Tattered but still in tact .
My 1988 Electrolux Marquis edition one of my favorites I love the color my next favorite metal Electrolux is the last one made the ultra lux classic . I had to replace the original braided hose because it froze in place because it's been sitting unused for years in box . Dan |

Dan,
Sorry to hear you don't like your Felix. I still really want one, as I have mostly low pile carpets and lots of hardwood floors, which is where they really excel. It's a good thing that there are so many other vacuums in the world. We can all have our favorites and dislike whatever we please. To each his own. Keep the pics coming! |

Dan, I love that pearl constellation you have. I bought a stainless one on eBay, the seller listed it as mint and I had to put a new motor in when it got here. :(
I wished I could find a 120v Maytag one as well but I doubt that will happen lol. We do our home/garden show this weekend, so I'll be up to my neck in brand new Riccar brilliances, radiances and Maytag m1200s. Also have a ton of new dyson v6 cordless units to sell. I hope all is well! -Josh |

I think since this is a European vacuum (German) they designed it for Europe then said hey we should sell it in the U.S. just like Dyson has done meanwhile he has been trying to get his machines to clean our deep pile carpets and he hasn't been successful yet .
I really wanted to like this Felix but as you say thank God we have many brands to choose from . Dan |

Dan, I bought my Mom that exact same Hoover Elite in 1996 to replace a Eureka Victory 10 amp upright that she bought to retire her Kirby....she claimed I somehow broke her Eureka so I bought the Hoover to shut her up. I think she was fed up with the Eureka after 4 months of owning it though, that's why she wanted the Hoover. She claimed that Hoover Elite was nearly as good as the Kirby, mainly because she had pets & she could stuff the bags right to the top before needing to be changed. Mom used it combined with her old 89 canister & had it for 6 years before I talked her out of it :-). Not nearly as good as a Convertible, but pretty good for a cheaply made plastic Hoover.

For a plastic vacuum that was made right here in the U.S. I feel it was of very good quality I have repaired many at my store and most were beat to HE double hockey sticks but they took the abuse .
They were a great replacement as they cleaned really well and they sold well also . I loved them and still love Hoover Even today's . Dan |

VERY IMPRESSED just as Tom Gasko said it would be but it's much more amazing in person in my home . QUIET/POWEFUL two words to describe it but gorgeous sleek and sexy could be added to the description of what I believe is "THE" perfect canister vacuum that is so user friendly whisper quiet ultimate power sexy yet simple sophisticated design . This vacuum also comes with Weezee seal of approval she LOVES her new Prima as does her daddy . Tacony/Riccar have a new a true top selling winner on its hands . Toms influence along with the vacuum museum is evident in the design and final product I am truly impressed and it has been worth the wait . Love the wand talk about quality. The hose is the perfect length 8.5 feet with suction relief valve and comfortable hand grip plus the canister is very light . The cord winder works flawlessly just like an Electrolux add to that a LONG cord this is "THE" perfect canister . I love the Electrolux dusting brush , I love the "furget it " pet tool it cleans Weezees hair like magic .
The bags are perfection at its best the superb quality is impressive. Tom Gasko made sure I got serial number 2 off the assembly line he has number one of course . Bravo and congratulations Tacony and Tom Gasko this is an awesome canister vacuum . I give this is a Kirbyloverdan "MUST BUY " !!! Dan This post was last edited 04/14/2015 at 18:15 |

The Prima looks like a great American competitor to the Miele lineup. From the side it looks very similar to a S8. How much dirt do you think the bag can hold? Outside it looks huge, but it's hard to tell from the picture when it's installed. This might be a silly question, but is the canister body made in St. Louis? It looks very sturdy and I bet Tacony will sell a good amount of these. Just please don't be too expensive. I might need one of these... :)

I am not sure how much dirt but the bags are huge .
As stated in previous threads the canister is made in China for now until sales pick up which I think will be very soon then will be made in St.Louis Tacony factory . The powernozzle is made here in the U.S. at Taconys U.S. factory . It is miles ahead of Miele way longer hose large normal sized attachments . Dan |

Hey Dan…
This is the Other New Jersey Dan… I am cracking up reading your post - I think Tom Mixed the two of us up… When he e-mailed me to tell me that he could finally sell me one, he made a comment about getting me the second one off of the line, and that he kept the first for himself… While I thought that was very nice thing to do, I wondered right then and there if he had mixed the two of us up… Or at least confused our e-mails... Now I just hope I have something being delivered tomorrow !!! (After all Tom did charge my card !!!) Funny Mixup aside, I am glad to hear that you are pleased and it was everything you thought and more… It looks like a class act - Great color… I will let you know what I think after mine arrives… Tom - Do I have something coming as well tomorrow ??? Dan P. (Danorob1) |

Congratulations on the Prima. It's nice to see a vacuum designed with the end user in mind rather than just the pinhead in accounting who thinks a 5 ft hose is just fine. Since I have a long haired dog, I have to ask about the pet brush. Does it work well? |

You can tell a lot of thought and design from other vacuums are in this canister vacuum from Tacony .
The long hose is perfect length it can reach very high without having to lift the machine . Gary , I have no problem with the hose handle but then again I also have no problem with an Aerus hose handle . I guess it's personal preference the Prima is a very comfortable vacuum to use very user friendly. Dan |

I guess it all depends on how you use the vacuum and how much above the floor cleaning you use it for. I have had several vacs (Aerus, Filter Queen, Rainbow, Miele, Vortech Force, etc.) all which have the gas pump style handle and I have disliked them all as they are just too large and bulky when doing a lot of above the floor cleaning and in tight quarters. The traditional handle style on most vintage vacs is most comfortable for me. My favourite would have to be the handle on my Lux '89 with the trigger control for the power nozzle. It gives full control of turning the nozzle on/off and yet the handle is very compact and light.

I just noticed your post saying how much you dislike the gas pump handle on Aerus vacuum hoses. Just wanted to let you know, for your Guardian Platinum, that machine end hose connector is available as a separate part. If you really do prefer the pistol grip, it would be easy enough to order it & the Classic hose & put the Guardian hose connector on it, so you would have a pistol grip hose to use for dusting. I was looking into it myself, & still thinking on it....some of the rugs I have the L shaped Aerus PN does OK but could do better so I use a Eureka VG III PN on them instead, which is why I was looking into a 2nd hose for the Platinum. And yes I am using the new-style 10 degree brushroll in my powerhead, so that isn't the issue.

Kirbyloverdan was the first person to order a Prima. Ten people from vacuumland have now done so. Your order (2nd one) was shipped the day after Dans. Yours should arrive today. Any order placed after noon goes out the next day. The FedEx trucks leave us at noon. Be sure to post pictures along with your reaction when you get it.

Thanks Tom -
I replied to your e-mail as well… I figured it was something simple like that... I will be sure to put up lots of pictures once it gets here - I hope it is today - I have a ton of time to burn off by my anniversary date, so I have been home since 1:30pm waiting for the FedEx Driver!! Dan P. |

Right the only thing I can remember walking into a JC Penny is that wafting aweful smell radiating from the so called beauty salon. Boy that smell could strip the paint off anything, probably why appliances were on the second floor far away from it! And no for the smart A$$'$ on here it is not me that smells, I shower several times a day, not weeks OR months

You'd be hard pressed to find another essentially NEW Destiny Plus! I have one just like that, and a 12 amp one. Beautiful machine. You really cannot put a price on a find like that. They really were Fantom's best! The Destiny Plus is very special to be because it was the vacuum we had when I was born. Keep preserving vacuum history- Mitchell

I posted that just for you 😁 it was the only Fantom I liked plus being a Sears brand I think it's even a rarer machine. Oh you know one day some lucky collector will enjoy my brand new and pristine collection .
I am on the hunt for the mother of my children so hopefully I meet the right girl get married and make my own future collector . Dan |

I scrapped it. Very loud and very cheap. They did clean carpet well though. I still have a World Vac Bravo 2 from a family friend that passed away. I was lucky to find a NOS motor for it for $36. I've used it for about ten minutes total and am probably not going to use it much more. Due to it's cheapness, I want to keep it "preserved." Most of these i've seen have bad motors or at least bad bearings.

A member on the washer site had this very same issue with poor photo quality from his mobile phone and he got pictures like this with that awful haze on them.
He took a Q tip and dipped it in rubbing alcohol and gave the camera lens a darn good clean. Now his pics are very sharp without a greasy haze. I tried it too and it works! |

Both know that the Kirby will out clean the Aerus ...
But for my family members in which I purchase vacuums for Aerus is "THE" best choice for ease of use and they do a great job cleaning and outlast many other brands of vacuums . I purchase this brand exclusively for my family so I don't have to hear my vacuum is broken or I don't know how to use it as you well know a Kirby is not everyone's vacuum and Aerus fits more people . Great question but you already knew the answer 😉 Dan |

To the Hoover Elites it was an OK vacuum for its time not as good as the Hoovers but better than the Eureka Bravos of the same time plus this was made in the U.S. one of the last ones built here .

John Gregory of sweeper central in Dunmore Pa .strikes again ...
I come home and find this awesome surprise at my door waiting for me 😋 Now that TTi owns Oreck John Gregory called the President and ordered me one of my Favorite Orecks the Oreck Axis that they are clearing out . He said he got an awesome deal better than the one on eBay that he couldn't resist getting one for me as a gift . I love the Blue and also own the Green one it also is NIB these will be put away for a future collector (s) to enjoy one day . Dan |

Dan:
One of the things I like about you (among many things) is that you like all kinds and brands of vacuums. I find collectors that only dwell on one brand to be sad and pathetic. The ones who think the sun rises and sets with just one brand - and that brand could do not wrong - are like people who eat rice for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with nothing else. I find this kind of person usually turns out to be lonely, dried up old spinsters. John Gregory is a hoot to talk to. You know the expression "If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, sit here by me"? That's why I talk to John. He knows the filth and dirt, and isn't afraid to spill it. He makes me laugh, and knows more about current vacuums than anyone else I've talked to. He's a great guy. Thanks for introducing me to him. |

Dysonman1: While I'd agree that people who "who think the sun rises and sets with just one brand - and that brand could do no wrong" need to be more open minded, I've seen some beautiful smaller collections that focused on a particular brand. |

Thank you that is a wonderful compliment I am a Vacuum lover of mostly every brand I am not prejudice to just one brand .
But to each their own ... John Gregory is so funny I always laugh at the things he talks about and the two of you combined the vacuum knowledge is unbelievable I never claim to know it all but the two of you sure have taught me a ton about all brands of vacuums . There are many amazing friends I have spoken to some even on a daily basis all thanks to Robert for making this great web site possible to bring everyone together to learn from each other and enjoy our collections together .

I have a favorite brand and I do understand those who collect only one brand but for me its about having some of everything. I like to look at my collection and see the progression of design, How style was influence by various outside sources.
For me the problem comes in when you are so fixated on one brand that you cannot see any good in others. I love the brand of vacuum I sell in my shop I think its great but i also like other brands too. The point is to respect the right to be different and that others like different brands. |

Dan that is a blue as the water in the pool!! Very nice vacuum which reminds me my aunt from Altoona called me about some stuff she & my other aunt found while cleaning out a back closet. I didn't quite understand what she was saying but a lot of boxes have Hoover on them, never been open, she thinks maybe wedding gifts or something. Not vacuum boxes but other stuff. She said she'd call me in a few minutes/days/weeks to let me know what they are & if I want them if not what to do with them. Like I need more crap..lol

I am so lucky to have this NIB portable HOOVER it's surely a VERY rare gift from John Gregory 😁
Thank you I LOVE ❤️❤️❤️ My back yard it does take a lot of work and it's still evolving as more and more flowers are on their way growing and will be blooming throughout the next few weeks into summer I will be posting some more pics as thing start popping . The pool makes a gorgeous vacuum photo back drop I think it makes for the "BEST" vacuum photos . Proves that "hard work DOES Pay off " ... Dan |

Sent me another dream machine this time it's a gorgeous near mint HOOVER Convertible model 589
of course he stripped it down and serviced it with rare genuine NORTH CANTON OHIO HOOVER parts this HOOVER CONVERTIBLE looks like it just came off the showroom floor of Sweeper Central in the wonderful town of Dunmore Pa back in 1969/71. Hot pink proudly displayed by my swimming pool with Weezee strolling around in the background . Dan This post was last edited 05/14/2015 at 16:25 |

I think that we should hold a Vacuum Collectors Convention at John Gregory's store. Wouldn't that be fantastic? He's an amazing man, and I'm sure he would love to share his knowledge and skills with fellow vacuum collectors. If he would agree to get on a plane, it would be awesome to get him to come to the Convention we hold every year at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum, the second weekend in June.

Gareth, it's a BLAST. The convention is held at the Vacuum Museum, so no need to drag one's collection clear across the country. There is no 'fee' to go to the convention, and the motel expenses are low ($56 a night at the Greenstay Inn). We don't have banquets, and try to eat at good but inexpensive restaurants. I always have one barbeque (this year it's at the pavilion at the Tacony factory), which is at no cost to my friends. There are no cliques, no hook ups, and no one feels left out of the fun. No alcohol during the convention hours, so no hurt feelings (and no apologies the next day). What someone drinks after hours is their own choice.
There's a tremendous amount of sharing. I 'hoard' bags, belts, vac, and repair parts all year long, just to share them with my fellow collectors. Right now, I have a box with over 200 packs of obsolete bags to share, some of them more than forty years old. I save hoses, and brush rollers from machines that are duplicates before getting rid of the machine. And we have door prizes, like the Maytag M1200 that will be raffled off this year. There is no 'set in stone' agenda, just fellow vacuum collectors, learning about vacuums, and enjoying each others company and fellowship. It is NOT fancy, and certainly NOT 'high society drama queens' trying to out do each other. |

I've heard about that other stuff and there is NO way I would or could ever be a part of that . I have a reputation to uphold and I prefer friendly down to earth people who know how to have honest fun . I will defiantly be visiting you at the museum and Tacony factory very soon just have a busy summer as always . Dan |

Isn't the lady in charge of the VCCC convention from Texas? I sure hope she doesn't find out that you're calling her a "drama queen". It's very dangerous to cross a woman from Texas. Oh well, best of luck. |

When ever I buy a home I gut them and redo everything to make sure nothing goes wrong from roof to mechanicals to basement .
I have been lucky by having everything brand new if anything goes wrong I have warranties on everything . Will do same thing when I buy my Key West house or condo plus I need a place to put some of my cars too 😁 Dan |

Good that your homes are renovated.That is very fortunate!I wasn't that lucky.If I buy another place-will buy one NEW--not 40 yrs old.Not worth it buying a place that old. |

Why does it seem like you post pics with a nice background and then other pics seem like they were scanned and posted. I mean it's nice to see the new old machines but do you still have them? |

I thought posting pictures on here was safe but people come to this site and steal pics .
Rex and Mark , My bungalow was built in 1924 we totally gutted it to studs all electric plumbing and mechanicals and everything in between was all updated took 4 months to complete then we moved in . Added inground pool Hot tub and 3 Koi ponds plus two garages and paved the stone driveway . Wouldn't have it any other way . Dan |

Very nice 'Lux-usually when I find the white ones they are dirty and beat up!Leave those in the trade in piles!Now if I found one like the one shown-then I would go for it. |

That's the main reason I prefer brand new I want to be the one to dirty it I don't want someone else's filth and diseases in my home and on my carpets . The only used vacuums I ever put into my home are from relatives or my awesome friend John Gregory of Sweeper central when he sends me a Hoover vacuum, I know it's been torn down and parts replaced with brand new North Canton genuine Hoover parts he knows about my OCD and his machines he sends me are meticulous and sanitized to brand new standards .

That's something I have to really think about I have a heck of a time letting go of my vacuums .
I think I have sold a total of 6 since I have started this thread . I really think I am a vacuum hoarder and I really regret the 6 I have sold but yet I still have tons more as you can see from my thread . I also have the 75th anniversary Guardian as well pics of that one very soon . Dan |

With that much gold you could buy another Rainbow. I wouldn't mind having a Rainbow for the novelty of it, but there's no way I'd part with the kind of green those Leprechauns want. |

I acquired a brand new Kirby Heritage II with the small rug tool, attachments & rug renovater/shampooer, never been used all for FREE!!!!! After they had a weekend garage sale Fri-Sat & the people all left yesterday they were going through the house & found it in the attic so I didn't have to be told twice it was for free, I just quickly collected it & carried it home before they changed their minds as sometimes old people will do! LOL No musky smells or anything never seen a climate controlled attic before but then again here nothing ever surprises me or shocks me at all.

Dan said: "These are not vacuums Mark. But lots of "RARE" HOOVER items that only I now own ..." So did John Gregory find the legendary and elusive Hoover popcorn popper for you? |

Hello Marks_here, I'm not sure of the color. I just read that it has been elusive to a prominent Hoover collector from PA. I had no idea that Hoover made/private labeled so many kitchen products. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ralph123's LINK |

It's nice to see such a positive article about a vac collector. Tom and his colleagues at Tacony have set up a very nice vacuum museum. Clearly his knowledge and experience are valued. I wonder how many Rainbows he had to sell back then to earn $7000. |
