"Very friendly and helpful. I needed a used sewing machine to use while traveling here in MN. The owners found me a great machine at a terrific price and it works great. Highly recommend this business if you’re near Detroit Lakes!"

Janke's Sew & Vac
Janke's Sew & Vac has been an invaluable partner for Northern Transcon Railcams - Otter Tail Channel (@NTR-OTC) for the past few years. They host one of our cameras on the Staples Subdivision, providing a direct view of the Detroit Lakes Train Depot where we see the Amtrak Empire Builder stop.
The camera sponsored by Janke's Sew & Vac always attracts a large number of viewers when the Amtrak arrives at the Depot. We often discuss the many years Janke has been in business and the vast knowledge they have about sewing machines and vacuum cleaners, considering Jeff was the guy who sold them door-to-door decades ago. Remember the door-to-door salesman?
It's always a great pleasure to stop and talk to Jeff. Thank you, Janke's Sew & Vac, for your outstanding support and service!"

"Nice selection of vacuums and sewing machines. Jeff is very nice & so knowledgeable. I bought a Miele quite some time ago, love my upright vacuum. I've had it in for repair due to my own fault, but the turn around time was amazing. You can get accessories, bags, and scents on hand in the store reasonably priced. The store is clean and organized. I recommend stopping in if you're looking for a quality vacuum a step up from the big box stores."
