Another question? This is a bit off the subject of this thread, but what product do you guys use to clean paint and scuff marks from plastic-body uprights?

The Oreck It is a very simple design and works well enough. I really like mine, but it sure isn't quiet. It has to be one of the loudest machines made, especially on bare floors. I love the old Panasonic design. Maybe you should try it out for a few days if your vac shop will allow that. Tim

Thanks I'm surprised the Rexair beat the Lux. I always thought those old model Bs were poor in suction. Tim <br PS Did anyone brin an Oreck or a Kirby?

SO................... Who is the winner? The Lux, I assume? (since that was the next post after mine)Tim

This morning........ the old Admiral is chilling at 38 degrees. Thanks, Maytagbear. I did some research on this frige. I think it is from the mid 80's since the model number doesn't show up on the Maytag site. Tim

Thanks, Maytagbear. That's what I thought too,but was just a little nervous. Do you happen to know which company stamps the admiral name on these friges? I think it may be Maytag. Tim

I was given an Admiral Refrigerator to use in my garage. The model number is NT17L4. When I checked it out, it was working well. It was very cool. It was delivered today. When I plugged it in, the freezer gets real cold, but the refrigerator is barely cool. It only traveled about one block, and...

Thanks for the picutres They are great! Which vacuum won the contest? Is there a bracket for suction only? brushroll/beater bar? You guys must have had a great time. I saw a Dyson in the background? How did it do? I know that a vintage cleaner must have outcleaned it. My favorite vac was the...

A Response I got a response from the Hoover company today that they have reintroduced the Constellation. Tim

I am Shocked! I e-mailed Hoover to inquire about the Constellation. They responded by saying that they had no intention of reintroducing the Constellation. I e-mailed them back with a picture of it on Bestbuy's site. I'll let you all know what they say. Tim

Thanks! I love all the pictures. What an amazing time you all must have had. Keep them coming. Tim

I'm interested Fred When you can get them for less money, let me know Fred. Tim Such a cool machine!

SATELLITE I love that little machine, hooverwheelaway! I know they are made in the UK, so do you have to change anything with the current to make it usable in our 110v outlets? I saw one on a UK website. How well does it work? Is it as quiet as the Constellation? Will they be available in the...

The New Constellation? I read somewhere that there is a new stainless steel Hoover Constellation being made in the UK. If this is true, will anyone have one at the convention to compare it to the older models? I love the pics. Please keep them coming. Tim

OK guys, I have been infested by fleas. I don't have carpet or pets. Last Saturday, I set off a Hot Shot Bomb. It helped some, but still had to have an exterminator come in on Monday. He said that the fleas had come in from outside. You see, I put out 50 bales of pine straw in my flower beds. He...

I tried it I changed the brush roll from old to new. It does seem to work better, but still a little harder to push than before. I didn't even know that one could change the position on the brush roll. I guess you still learn something new each day. Tim

Same here Paulg. I really like my Oreck upright. Now the little canister--------well I have seen better. It is really dinky, but ok for dusting or quick clean ups. Have you noticed the bristles on the brushroll wearing down from use on hardwoods and tile? I really think I need to replace mine. Tim

Oreck nothing gets by an Oreck

Oh yeah What vintage upright do you guys consider to be the best for bare floors and area rugs? My vote is the Panasonic Jet-Flo. Tim

You are right about the noise. I do wish it were quieter, but it is probably the best upright for bare floors. I would love to have a Riccar, but I just can't afford it right now. Many people have said that canisters are best for bare floors and they are right, but I just like uprights. Tim
