Yes, WP was the first to have what is now the Oreck upright. David Oreck worked at RCA WP at the time. He later made the vacuum his. He gets vacuum cleaners from other manufacturers, makes them his, then charges a high price for them. Singer and General Electric had their versions, but they...

Your Kenmore Progressive beltless upright was made by Matsushita(Panasonic). Whirlpool left the floorcare business in 1994 when they sold their remaining interest to Matsushita(Panasonic). The Kenmores, made by Panasonic, are very good vacuum cleaners that clean really well. They are pretty...

Big Lots Yes, Big Lots was formerly Pic and Save here in So Cal. I shopped with them for years, but then started noticing their prices going up. They are now competing with the 99cent store and Dollar Tree Stores in our area, plus the other copycats. Big Lots is usually the same or higher for...

You should only use one tablet for a full load. The Purex Tabs will dissolve quickly, so you can put them in the detergent drawer(if it fits). Purex's website even showed how quickly the tab dissolves. The Wisk and Surf tablets had to be put in the washer, because they took a while to disolve...

Liquid detergents are becoming more popular than powders, eventhough you and/or I prefer the powder. You should be able to find Tide he powder in stores.

If you look at Regina uprights from decades before, you will see that was their trademark. The Oreck and Regina upright both have different footprints. Regina would later use...

Don't forget that Edith also used a Royal upright in an episode of All in the Family. Three's Company also had an episode where they were using a Eureka built canister. The upright that was on The Partridge Family was not an Oreck, but a Regina upright vacuum cleaner. The episode where you see...

The Munster's vacuum cleaner is a Sears Kenmore Commander. In order for them to have the dust blow out, it has to go through the motor. Listen to the motor. It sounds bad.

I purchased Season 2 Vol.1 last week also. Look for Season 2 Vol. 2 of LIS to come out on Nov. 30th. I am usually there the first day it is out in stores. The Munster's vacuum is too funny. If you noticed the episode of its first appearance, you will see that dust is even coming out the seams...

Yes, I cannot wait for Bewitched either. I also have The Munsters, Flintstones, Gilligan's Island and Lost in Space. How would you like to have Maureen Robinson's washer that also folds and wraps the clothes?

Bewitched on DVD Did you know that Bewitched will come to DVD in 2005? It will most likely be the same time the movie comes out.

I have had my FriGEmore for 3yrs. now with no trouble and hope it stays that way. I purchased mine from a Sears Outlet for a reasonable price. After the outlet coupon and utility company rebate, the washer only cost about $375.00. That is not too bad. I used a WP Gold TLer before it(still...

Realize though that Fresh Start is not the same formula as when it was introduced. They took out the phosphates. They later took out the enzymes. I still have a few bottles of the formula with enzymes. I like the fact that there are no fillers. It works well in my FLer. I use slightly less than...

Sometimes it may be better to wait, because there may be a seller who uses someone else(or himself) to bump up the bid price. Say you bid on an auction, then the seller could use another ID or have someone else come on and bid higher. You, in turn, come back and bid higher than he did. Now the...

I get these every once in a while. It is called "phishing". What you will notice when one is sent to you, is they say something like "Dear Paypal member" or "Dear ebay member". If you have a legitimate account with say Paypal, they will address you by name in any emails. Contact the legitimate...
