First of all, I said nothing about wanting to completely tear open this machine to jerry-rig a disposable bag on it. All it would probably entail is me sticking a bag on the spout. Second, the rudeness was completely uncalled for. If you don't care much about vacuum filtration, that's fine...

I have the dump-out bag. I just don't want to use it in this because of how poorly filtering it may be, especially if I'm going to be using this to vacuum up dust that's caked up inside other people's vacuums.

I'm 99% sure they won't. There is not enough space in the bag chamber for them.

When you say "Hoover Type Z", you don't mean the ones made for the Elite style machines, right?

Here's my latest addition to my collection. I got this with my Christmas money, along with some other goodies, one of which being a Hoover Windtunnel tape measurer from 1998. It's a very neat/practical machine, and it's a lot bigger than I originally thought. One of my favorite features is how...

Absolutely. Speaking from experience. I used my Wessel Wero turbo tool with my Henry to clean out my mom's car once. It made light work of that task. Before that, I was using a 2 gallon Shop Vac with the port-end of a Eureka Bravo hose. Needless to say, the Henry was a massive upgrade.

My dad is really into boats. Yesterday he showed me this video of a boat for sale with a Kenmore Central Vacuum installed in it. I knew that there were compact units available for boats and RVs (I.E. the Dirt Devil CV1500 and others), but to see one with what looks like a full-sized unit is very...

May I ask why it's called the Dreyfuss Hoover?

I'm looking into carpet cleaning methods that are alternatives to steam cleaning. Reason being is because I want to deep clean my mom's carpet without having to buy/rent a carpet cleaner. I would under normal circumstances look for said machine to do the job, but the carpets in our house are...

I did. Still though, this is my first time working with wire nuts, so I'm just nervous about messing things up, and potentially ruining this machine. It's not one that I myself have a ton of attachment to, but still, if I get rid of it, I want to make sure it works safely for whoever may take it...

I'd prefer not to do that. It's already nerve-wracking enough untwisting the wire nuts to get to the motor and cord. I can only hope and pray that I put them pack correctly.

I can't do either of those things. The switch is running through the bag housing, so I definitely don't want to get it wet.

Funny you bring up those two videos by Bobby P. They're actually what led me to wanting this color scheme over the others. Sidenote, I miss Bobby and his videos. I remember watching them fondly on the living room computer when I was younger. To this day, I love how he had his collection...

Then how am I supposed to properly clean out the hose? It's caked with nasty stuff on the inside?

It swivels.
