    Kirby Classic III change to handle mount?

    Huh that is strange that they would only replace that part. I guess it was broken on that person's vacuum and that was the current parts in stock? When Kirby refurbishes these vacuums they replace all the parts with whatever is in the current supply room, which changes with every Kirby...

    1960s Electrolux "save and Pay" Bank

    I see these all the time but never bought one. I assume this was just a fun little thing for kids? I cant imagine seriously as an adult quarter-dropping the cost of an Electrolux, that would take ages!

    Beautiful Electrolux G unit on eBay

    Check the seller's other listings, they likely sold or are selling the tools separately. Also, ask. Usually when people buy these at estate sales or thrift stores the tools are separate from the vacuum an never get seen or bought by different people and separated. Yes the hoses do dry rot and...

    Riccar R27CV Clean Air Cordless

    It depends on how big the battery pack is. With the body of a full size upright you can fit quite a huge battery pack in there and juice the hell out of the vacuum. It would give you a significant amount of cleaning prowess for not a bad runtime. Hoover's commercial uprights seem to have a...

    Dyson DC17 Filter Cover Issue

    Yeah 1980s and 1990s vacuums with ABS plastic have the same problem. A plastic welder and plastic epoxy is your best friend.

    Hello, and asking for help with an Electolux polisher, 1960s

    There would be a gasoline engine to keep the batteries charged and then the whole house ran off the battery bank. In the USA after 1935 when Roosevelt founded the REA to get electricity out to farms, these home power plants became obsolete. Not sure about Australia's situation but I am sure many...

    Dyson DC17 Filter Cover Issue

    All the Dyson uprights are going bad with plastic rot as we speak. It's exactly 20 years old, the DC17, and that seems to be the magic number of years for the plastic to start decomposing and eating itself alive. My DC07 started breaking apart in 2018/2019. I tripped over the base on accident...

    Goblin Brand

    I do not believe they supply spare parts. They just ship you a whole new unit.

    How to oil bearings of a FH52000 Hoover steamer/carpet cleaner/shampooer?

    It is very likely the parts are just rusty and not out of oil. This shampooer is too new to have all its oil burned up already. After I use my shampooer I always turn it on its back and put a fan on the brushroll area. Call it OCD, but I never had a problem with squeaks and stuck parts. The...

    The last kirby has left the building

    Hence why him and his sockpuppet accounts need to be banned. He will destroy this entire site if people give him the chance.
