Nice display but I tend to have to agree with gotahaveahoover I personally prefer the classics to the modern vacs. Zach |

I think of all of the Vacuums in the Target display-the only one I would consider is that Oreck.They can keep the plastivac bagless dumpster vacuums.They look pretty in that display-but use 'em several times they look pretty icky. |

So many of those vacuums are absolute monstrosities. They're not beautiful to me. The best-looking machine in that photo is the Dyson DC-35. Half of the rest of them look like something that would wander around killing people in Jabba the Hutt's house or worse.
Gimme Tacony, Sebo, Kirby, Aerus, and Miele, please. |

I DO! Haha, I do it at my local Wally World while people go by and look at me weird, I don't care. It just annoys the heck outta me when parts are missing and no where to be found. |

Let's not forget that most of these "made in China plastique" machines will probably end up in the trash after about 6 months of use. I remember as a kid just loving to go the vacuum section at either Service Merchandise, BEST, Monkey Wards or Target and there would be lots of Hoover Convertibles and F&G Eureka's. Those were the days. Now I pretty much ignore the vacuum sections at Target etc.

I would agree, the only vacuum that would interest me is the Oreck!!!
Everything is bagless....not one I would want as a main vacuum for my house..not even the Dysons. I am surprised there is a canister on the line.....what is it? We don't have any canisters at our Target. Wal-Mart carries a Eureka bagged, a Bissell bagged and an Eureka/Electrolux bagless...canister. And both Target and Wal-Mart only carry generic bags... What is the world coming to. Morgan |

Too bad for me, since there aren't any vac shops here where I live. Looks like I'll have to go to SA, Brownsville or Corpus. |

Yea. Those isles are sickening aren't they?
I used to love to look at the vac isle's back in the day when I was little. I ignore them now too. I have my Rainbow and a Lux :) I'm happy. Every last one of those vacuums (or most of them) will be in a landfill in 2 years, or the back room of some vacuum shop that accepted them as a trade in. |
