I'd posted this on my Facebook, but thought I should share it here as I know not everyone that might be interested is on there. I remember this, and always hoped it would appear on Youtube, was great to see it again. Name those vacuums!

Glade...

shake and vac,was so popular in the 70's and early 80's.It did make the rooms smell good ,because you vaccumed it up into your smelly filter bag.Plus it would clog the pores of the bag and you would have to replace the filter bags more often.

Well I can name some of them, A Hoover Power Plus, Electrolux 504, Electrolux 411, Hoover Compact upright and a Hoover cylinder possibly a 4** as I'm not the most up to date with Hoover models...

I wonder when other classic SNV ads will surface on you tube??

i dont remember this ad at all, thanks for sharing it Simon

Its actually not a Powerplus Hoover - its still a Senior - 4186 to be exact, although the powerplus is, to all extents and purposes the same apart from the colour.

The Hoover Compact is a Junior with box rather than a bag, although for 1982 I would have thought it would all have been in cream

The last cannister is a 427. Its hard to tell from the vid whether it is orange or yellow - it looks yellow to me - but as far as I know that colour was only sold in France

Apart from clogging bags S&V could also clog the airways of teh cleaner as well and if it got at all wet would set like concrete as I found with a Turbopower Freedom

I hate it - Simply because there isn't a Ranger in it like the original! Ha ha.

I do love Shake 'N' Vac though, and will be using my new "Lilly of the Valley" bottle today on the upstairs carpets to freshen them up, and my assistant will be the most powerful cleaner - The Turbopower 1000.

You really MUST NOT use shake and vac, it will ruin your cleaner, honestly. Not only does it clog the bag, as I wrote above it will coat and eventually clog the airways of your cleaner and believe me it is very difficult to get rid of.

Don't worry about me, I've used it plenty of times before and never had any bag experiences. Woops, BAD experiences I should say, Freudian slip ha ha.

It only becomes a clogging hazard to the suction passages when you use too much on the carpet.

I only put a thin layer on (being a cheap skate helps me do this!) and vacuum it up with the motor on full speed.

As for the bag getting blocked up, yes, that may happen, but the bag is already 1/3 full anyway, so I'll probably just replace it when I've finished, something I've been meaning to do anyway.

And also, I only use it once every couple of months when my carpets start to get a bad smell - I'm not using it daily or anything.

Either you need to change your vacuum bag or you forgot to LOG-IN?
