Always keep an eye out for machines being used commercially. Thought at first the three wire cord was wired into the machine after the fact, maybe the original cord was damaged and they replaced it with an extension cord they had lying around? Nope, it’s just plugged into the machines cord...

Shifting to Vietnam likely to avoid higher tariffs on China. Would have loved to see Tacony bring back assembly here with the newer machines, but I never thought they would anyways. Was talking to my local vac shop owner a few weeks back, said he’s already had to eat the 30% on what he sells in...

I have a Riccar R40P.2 that I recently acquired curious to know what date this thing was made…

Rugsucker Good info thanks. I take it that it’s probably a good idea to drill a couple smalller pilot holes first before I put the screws in it? Just worried about cracking the plastic.

Here are the photos.

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this question, I have an Electrolux EPIC 3500SR Upright that needs a new bag door, the old one still works, but the inner black plastic part of the door has broken off... Pretty sure these parts are NLA, but figured I would ask. All I have been able to...

I would bet it’s an ESSCO product looks similar to the Cirrus line of machines.

That whole brand is just going down the toilet it seems. Blaming the customer... over such a cheap and easy part for them to replace to begin with... I’ve never understood that way of thinking with companies.

Look at the “sold” listings for that machine or similar ones in comparable condition. That will give you your answer.

Les yep that’s me. Hanks vacuums is my yt vacuum related channel. Also have Hanks small engine repair which is my main channel. Good to see someone else on here likes my videos!

Honestly I have wanted to pick one of these up for a while. They look pretty cool. I’ve also heard from my local vac shop that dyson is pretty good with honoring their warranty and authorizing repairs too. Good to hear they did right.

This guy reminds me ALOT of the other dyson troll (zmanifest). They could be brothers.

Thank you very much. Quick google search reveals very little info on this specific model... nice to see another one in the flesh though. Looks like the bag on mine is after market. Yours looks original?

Here are some pics after cleanup and service. I suspect the outer bag may not be original. I took it apart completely and washed the bag only with a normal laundry load. Then hung it to dry. It was mostly dry when I hung it up but it cleaned up very well. Looks brand new. Still have no clue as...

I love this crosswave. It’s so much better than the floor mate it replaced.
