Well, since the Vacuumland Forum has been closed,

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

I've found it's best to listen to my instincts--

If I stand there for more than a moment or two, weighing "should I or shouldn't I" then most usually, I shouldn't. Especially if it's something that's overpriced, haha!
 
NO WONDER!!!!!!!

No wonder the discussion was closed down. Bobofhollywood is posting pictures with his hose off! How disgusting.

is that funny?

'cause I'm not sure it is.

Lemme see if I can say somethin' rude about your Theremins....

nah...no need to stoop that low.

Not funny though, dude, and a perfect example of why I'd rather just keep my vacuums to myself than to be in a club of folks with a sense of humor like that.

Just hysterical.

But'cha did, Blanche, but'cha did....

M-H: "I was not saying that the issue with Vacuumland should not be discussed AT ALL. I was saying that it should not be discussed HERE."

That makes no sense. It's only worse when secret emails are flying around. Let 'er rip! Besides, no one here cares about bandwidth anymore. (So there, Luigi!)
 
uh oh

its already starting... ive been privy to just some of the minor details and its not pretty. im glad nobody here at applianceville is as poisonous when the talk turns to Maytag vs Whirlpool!
 
problems

in the VCCC should be left with the powers that be in the VCCC, and not dragged over here.
I think vacuum chat would be awesome here, as long as the rules here are abided by.
To discuss whatever is going on with the VCCC here would NOT be appropriate.
Now lets talk vacuums!
 
Golly Day!!!

Some people sure are ready to fight, aren't they!! My "should I shouldn't I" comment was in response to Petek's post:

"Now here's a should I or shouldn't I... There's a scruffy looking Eureka WidePath sitting right now at a local thrift store for $5."

*** GET A GRIP!! ***
 
Meow, meow, meow...

Move along, folks....nuttin' to see here.

BTW, I recently got a Kenmore Iridium canister and I love it.

I bought my ex a Miele compact so he won't disturb his new neighbors by vacuuming at three in the morning....

Mom, who is 78 and very independent, has herself a new Oreck XL now, as the era of the electric broom has ended....in retrospect, I wish I would have bought the very similar Hoover upright and saved a lot of money....

I'd like a new-school Constellation and think it's probably Hoover's best new offering this season....

I've never posted at vacuumland, but lurked around. I have posted at
"What's-The-Best-Place-To-Find-Out-WalMart's-Latest-Earnings-Report",
but that got tired surprisingly quick!

I'm more into the new stuff then vintage....
 
new new new stuff

Some people think I have bumped my head...

New stuff in my house lately includes:

Kirby Ultimate G Diamond edition(for a daily driver)
Sanitaire Blue S634
Oreck XL2600(used and a joke I might add)
a New-in-box Regina Housekeeper(that will be saved for posterity and NOT taken out of the box)
 
Jeff...

... When your pictures were on vacuumland, I noticed the elite twotone style elite. What model was it?

-a-
 
Jeff, a Regina Housekeeper? Never thought I'd see someone collect those...why not an NIB Eureka instead? ;-)

*ducking and running hard*

I will also be getting an Ult. G shortly...even though it's not the Diamond Edition like yours I'm still very excited! I expressed interest in the one that Skip offered to the club a few months ago; that machine looked like it was in nice shape. I've noticed that with Kirbys, you have to look for the right one; with their customer base in mind, there are more well-loved machines out there than well-maintained, IMHO.

At any rate, congratulations!

I will miss Vacuumland

If it doesn't return. I missed Hooverland too, when it died shortly after Yahoo changed Clubs into Groups. It's buoyant again, mainly with UK members talking general (and mainly modern) vacuums, which aren't really what I'm interested in.

I don't know where I'm going to get my fix of Dialamatics, Aerodynes, Larks etc etc, plus the European machines and even *gasp!* non Hoover machines now! The thread on the Bison was fasinating, to name just one, and I've learned a lot from other forum members on the relatively short time it was online.

If vacuumland doesn't return, I hope vacuum posts continue here (even though I'm hardly a regular), although I would understand if the moderator(s) are reticent.

In the meantime, did anyone save that 1975 Hoover German brochure to their hard drive? I knew I should have downloaded that...

because

I appreciate many different vacuums, for a variety of reasons.
I am not just about Hoover all the time.
I wanted the Oreck for fun, never played with one before, so why not.
The Housekeeper is I FEEL a collectible machine just because it was so bad.
The Housekeeper also began the change of the modern vacuum.
Before the housekeeper:
Almost all upright vacuums were dirty fan
there was no such thing as on-board tools on an upright.

The Housekeeper started the on board tools movement, and the trend to all clean air machines.

Too bad it was such a miserable excuse for a vacuum cleaner.
I got mine off ebay, new in the box. It will stay that for posterity. The day is coming when collectors will look back and talk about the Housekeeper as a huge flop(it was, just like the Hoover Z and Royal Powercast)
somewhere there should be a housekeeper preserved.

I bought the Kirby to sweep up Jack's hair... it works beautifully!
 
Vacuumland...

Ah well...nothing lasts forever. I do not blame the webmaster one bit. AW has always seemed like a nice friendly place. It is too bad that one really rotten bad egg had to spoil the dozen!

Jeff...

A regina????? Yikes!!!!!

***runs away very fast!!***

Charlie...

I agree with you completely. You have earned my respect as a collector and as a human being. Thanks for standing up for what is right and true.

Happy Hoovering Everyone!
 
Buffalo Joe's Here.............

I have been busy from the holidays and am just over from being sick with a bad cold. I missed what happened in vacuumland and maybe its a good thing I did. I can only guess what happened. Alot of other vacuum forums died a horrible death also. Too bad some have to spoil it for the rest.

I've always continued lurking here at washerland. While my lifestyle is different from most here, I do have alot in common when it comes to old appliances and old stuff in general. Besides, I do like the atmosphere here and the people are great. I'm going to stick around here for good.

Take care.

Joe
