I found this odd Bissell Trio stick vac today at a resale shop for $5.99, and I just couldn't leave it behind. I have never seen anything like it! It most definitely looks like a 1990's machine. The main vacuum goes up and down to adjust the height of it, and it is supposed to have a crevice tool, but it didn't come with it. It is pretty loud, but it is also pretty powerful. Another collector told me that these are from Canada and quite rare. Is that right?
I also found a Bissell 'Princess' carpet sweeper at a yard sale for $3. I thought the color was cool on it so I got it! Chase |

Davis and I also went thrifting today. We saw a Hoover TurboPower 2000 Caddy Vac for $20, Hoover Bagless Elite for $12, Regina Steam Cleaner (Like the Orecks) for $20, a Hoover Mach 5 Bagless for $20, and one of those Eureka Boss Power Line Plus hard body machines with the rocker switch on the middle of the machine. It was navy blue and very neat, but it was $25! So we didn't get any of those, due to all of the Goodwill's ridiculous prices!

Goodwill just makes zero sense. Because we have gotten two Elites from two different stores, and they were both $7! Yes, the switch was horizontal on the Eureka. I found a picture of one on google!

$299.00 for a Heretage II? $69 for a Bravo? Holy crap! I got my Kirby G5 for only $100 and it came with all the attachments. I also got my D80 there for $10, but no attachments. VW |

I saw one of those Bissel Trios at the thrift store here just last week! It was the first one I'd ever seen. |
