Nice. I love the vacs and the rugs. I'd like to find a Hoover rug someday. Its a shame things arrive damaged when you pay good money to have things shipped. Althought sometimes it had to do with how they are packed, and also there are soooo many packages that got round the world each day/hour/ min. Its a wonder how they get it all done. But still we do pay a bit for postage and handling.

I know what you mean about the Electrolux being a great cleaner.
My '82 502S 500 Watt that I got free from an old lady a few months ago works perfectly, and came with the hose, crevice tool, and the combo floor & brush tool. And to top it off, it came with a pack of bags and a spare belt! I used the cleaner today to vacuum the whole house as my bedroom in particular needed a good clean, and the TV, book case, bed side cabinet etc... had a lot of dust on them, but with the brush tool the Electrolux took it all in her stride. God, I love Electroluxes! | ||

@juniorsenior I'm very glad to hear that!
A lot of people get vintage cleaners and put them into retirement thinking they are doing something great, but 20-30 years down the line when they decide to sell them on and get some money for it, they put a new belt on, plug it in, then press the power button to hear nothing. So, they take the belt off, and try to turn the impeller, but what do you know!? It has seized after sitting for 30 years stagnant! And worse still, the bearings in the brush roll have dried out too. If that cleaner had been in daily use with regular TLC, it would have still been roaring into life every morning and enjoying an active life. But thanks to the owner's "investment", it seized up and required a new motor bearing and brush roll bearings to get it going again, costing him a lot of money, and his profit when he sold it dropped like a stone. Sorry, I have a tendency to go on a bit, but hopefully you can see the point I'm making. | ||

I can't see Shake 'N' Vac being bad for any Bagged cleaner.
It is just Bagless cleaners that could get damaged by it. As long as the bag is good quality (E.G. Nice and thick) I don't think any of the powder would get through. I should really buy Shake 'N' Vac sometime and use my HOOVER Senior Ranger U4014 to vacuum it all up, and maybe even get my singing voice out while I'm at it. | ||

I hope you keep your word and do that 'Ranger vid tommorow. Do you not fancy owning a Junior? theres a few on Ebay right now. | ||

I do fancy owning a Junior, but my wallet doesn't sadly.
And yes, the Ranger video will be uploaded to my YouTube account tomorrow :) I haven't filmed it yet, but the Ranger got a nice thorough clean yesterday so she will be looking her best for her big moment. My plan is to do a bit of cleaning with the room lit, and a bit with the curtains closed to show the Hedlite working. | ||

I'd love to see the before, during & after pictures!
I have the same philosophy as you about using my cleaners at least once a month. Longer than a month, and I start to worry about it working when I use it next! By any chance, is this the Junior you bought ? CLICK HERE TO GO TO jmurray01's LINK on eBay | ||

And on another Junior note - Am I seeing things, or is that really the winning bid!?
If my '77 Ranger is worth anything near that value in the future, I'll be a happy man. CLICK HERE TO GO TO jmurray01's LINK on eBay | ||

By CO OP you don't mean the supermarket do you!?
Wow, I'm surprised it is a '76, it looks like a '66! Does it have the 400W/600W motor by any chance ? But then again, it was made back when older styles were in fashion, not like these days when everything has to be modern to sell. Well done for hiding it! :) | ||

Once shaggy type carpet goes flat, it never is the same. My nan has very thick carpet in her dining room,living room and hallway. Its so flat, old and gone sort of stickey. No shampooing and through vacuuming can make it like it was all them years ago. | ||
