Hi everyone,

I'm new here and I just found (cleaning out my garage) a vacuum cleaner I bought about 20-25 years ago. The name on it is Omnivac. It is a good little canister and by reversing the hose, a good leaf blower. Has anyone ever heard of it. It looks a lot like an old electrolux.

Sounds interesting. Do you have a picture of it?

Not too long ago I finally bought one at a good cheap price on eBay, I'd been anxiously waiting for a good deal on a nice one to come along, and one finally did. It has all the attachments and the original style turbo tool with it, which is a pretty decent one too. The one thing I did do is buy some bags and the adaptor tube to be able to use them, and I tossed out the fiery filter in the back of the bag chamber, I figured that esp. since I would be using their good micro lined paper bags, I don't need a filter that significantly reduced the machines power, the material would all compress up against the holes in the metal and kinda clog them, I noticed that the machine's power just about tripled when I took the filter out. Its a very powerful and still very quiet little vac, excellent size and weight too. Its every bit the vacuum I was hoping it would be.
