It was called a Swingmate...... The Partymate was the non automatic one step down. The Swingmate was introduced in 1965, and ran until about 1975. The one you pictured is a model from the early 70s. They were offered in a few different colors, and features and such varied a little in that 10...

if I may offer a less techincal opnion..... Ironically. I am as of now, working through a bag of Roma, and have a bag of Foca up next. I have used Roma before. Now let me paint a little bit of backround for contexts. I am a singe person, 1 or two loads a week, and some extras depending, in a...

No, there are much worse... The Spirit gets such a bad reputation by other collectors, simply because it has a plastic body, and not a metal body. I don't feel that is fair, after dealing with vacuum cleaners since I was in pampers basically. I don't recall EVER recall seeing a Hoover Spirit...

Not Seafoam, not Mint... The official Hoover color is Jade, and teal. This was part of the Kmart Exclusive set from 1985! Here is a brochure showing this model. I am also posting the Sales Lit for the Jade ans Teal Celebrity QS just for prof of color name.

I made the MOST divine..... Pot roast a couple days ago! It had the roast in my freezer and decided this was a time for comfort food! I just used an onion, and a couple carrots,and a few stalks of celery rough cut for veggies. With a whole carton of pre made beef broth as the braising liquid...

Mike in reply #51 I have that same wallpaper! It was hung in my drawing room! (you can still see traces of it under the paint.). I found some scraps of it left over. So I used it in one of the decorator panels of my '85 Kenmore Kitchen Mate Refrigerator!

Eye Opener..... *strike* closer.....LOL...Brilliant!

Ralph... Those are the same exact filters I buy at Kroger. Never had a problem. To Eddie: Very interesting information on the coffee. I actually like Folgers for my Perk. I also have been using the Kroger house brand of coffee, not only my self, but I have had others comment on how good it...

Ive never considerd using..... Oxy Clean. Interesting. I learned to use dishwasher detergent from a thread that was started on here some time ago.

very nice gift! I use a teaspoon per cup. Flat wrap type filters should be able to be found at the grocery store. That's where I get them. There was a really great video on you-tube with the basics of coffee making, and it is from the 60s so its all about using a percolator. I also have read...

John.... I saw that here too! Price is a little steep, but it is interesting. Do you think it has a pump?

So that would be.... April of 1991

The poor dears! They have been country, crafty soccer Mom'd to death!

FanOfFan's..... Yeah, Hoover kept that same basic model all through the 70s,and 80s. They just reissued it ever year. The early ones have the old style Hoover cord and smaller plug, and the old Hoover toggle switch. Then the mid run ones from about 1976- 1982 or so had the new square hoover...

No problem... Would you please post a picture of your Oreck? What is your Hoover dated Laundress? Barry, what is your QuikBroom II dated?

At this point in time..... Hoover Portapower and QuikBroom were both recycled names. Portapower being their famous half size canister, that was introduced in 1978, and was still around in about 1990, and a incarnation of it is still being made called Portapower, but its commercial. The...

Congratualtions on the GE!! My Kelvinator Tri-Leval has the Kelvinator equivalent to the Sensi-Temp. Kelvinator called it the Pan.O.Matic. Mine still works perfectly! I absolutely love it for deep frying, or for simmering for long periods of time. I find I never have to touch or adjust that...

Atleast that one has a Garrard record changer..... I have heard from several people in the console stereo groups, and other record changer enthusiasts, countless stories on how the changer units made by Grundig absolutely can't be serviced! Congrats on your find!

Yeah, I saw a post on that too! I wonder what happened to that unit?

I use to watch The 1900 house with facination! I still love it 20 years later, and Yes I cant believe it is over 20 years old. It aired in 2000 and its now 2019, how time fly's! Now on my thoughts on if I could do it or not. In the contexts of the show, which being it aired in the U.S., of...
