If you have any influence on what Hoover sells would you be so kind as to convince them to offer a synthetic microfiber HEPA dust bag of quality equal to their HEPA Type Y dust bag for the CH54113 and CH54115 Hushtone line? It is such a nice vacuum otherwise and one I think is going to last me...

Hmm. The differences between the Mechanical 300/350 and Versamatic/BS360 are subtle. Never realized the latter only have a paper bag available. Bummer. Glad I bought my 370 ! Wow. I've always thought of the Healthcare Pro as a second tier machine. The Diamante has everything, seems more...

I sent an e-mail. My collecting tastes are kind of eclectic and unusual.

Been using the Hushtone this week and I have to say I am surprised how much I have grown to like it. It just works good. Doesn't make demands of me to use, cleans well, not too loud and the sound it makes is pleasant enough. Seems really sturdy. I am not normally a big fan of uprights...

The Sebo website shows the X/G/C/300/350/370 all use the same 5093AM synthetic dust bag. I don't think there is any difference in the upper bodies of the Mechanical 300/350 and the Versamatic so I suspect you can use that same synthetic bag in one. Lindhaus only offers a paper dust bag for...

I have a 370 Comfort. The Felix and Dart are nothing like a 370. Not even in the same league. The only aspect they share is the brushroll has its own motor but even that feature is implemented very differently in the Felix / Dart thing and the 370. On the Felix Dart you have an on-off switch...

You will probably wrinkle your nose at this but for my four old steel body Eureka power teams ( one of which is an Ironisides with Kenmore Heavy Duty branding ! ) I have all the original hoses and power nozzles, but I also have my "working" hose and power nozzle. The working hose is something I...

And the fool who tossed it out probably "replaced" it with some bagless pos Shark or similar. One of the all time best upright vacuums ever made still in working order tossed in the trash. Amazing.

Not mine. Just a video I found showing that configuration power nozzle on a different model Eureka.

A little primer on this old Sebo design.

Sebo was formed by two engineers from Vorwerk who wanted to design a commercial upright vacuum. Vorwerk wasn't interested so they left and started Stein & Co dba Sebo. Their very first vacuum was pretty much this upright you see.

What an amazing find ! Why would anyone throw something that valuable out ? There is literally nothing you cannot repair on it. Even that old it is better than 95% of the new vacuums you can buy today. While they were sold in the US most often with Windsor branding this is a Sebo product I...

They are high quality machines. Even today I would prefer a clean used Electrolux to 95% of what you can buy new today.

You have to show us a picture of this sweet kitty : ) We have two cats named Gadget and Gizmo and two dogs Koda ( Husky ) and Banner ( Border Collie ). All boys. Gizmo lives for belly rubs !

Sigh. Work phone voice mail is full and cell phone not available. Looking for parts for Hoover Dial-A-Matics, especially motors, parts for the Hoover Insight and anything for Panasonic, Kenmore, Whirlpool or old Compact / Tristar and Singer vacuums.
