im not an expert on these newer Electrolux machines, but im pretty sure it won’t start if there’s no bag. Ones fitted right? This might help,

Help! the wiring on my dirt devil 503 got screwed up. I'm not sure which wire goes where. I've tried multiple internet sources but none of them had an answer. I'm not sure what the switch is called but it has 5 holes for 4 wires. Im relatively sure the 103 uses this style switch as well can...

Yes! Thanks for finding it! I don’t think it’s available still, oh well! -Jack

Where do you find your data/evidence? Plenty of people trust and use central vacs. There pretty popular where I live so I find that pretty hard to believe.

To save everyone some time the first brand was Dyson, and tied in second place was shark and Bisslle. I figured it would be a central vac brand, I’ve heard there very popular in Canada. Is this correct?

Maybe try running it without the filter and see what happens. It looks like you have the wrong sized filter. Maybe try to find the correct one.

Hello, I remember seeing an ad for a little water filter canister vacuum called the H20 Pro. I was wondering if they are still being manufactured. Does anyone own one? It seems like a neat idea to make a budget rainbow. Thank you. -Jack

Ok, Looking back at what I said I may have acted a little unhinged. I apologize, will you forgive me?

Vacuum Facts, I will admit I have anger issues, and you ENRAGE ME! You preach Dyson, Dyson, Dyson. Because that's all you know about vacuums. You won't listen to people that have more knowledge on the subject/ you pretent to know everything.

Hello! Just wanted to share about my most recent project, a 1996 Hoover futura. I’ve had this one sitting in the corner of my shop with the rest of my broken vacuums. I felt sorry for it. So naturally I did what any smart person would do! I bought all the parts it needed (which cost over 2x what...

Hello! I recently found this Hoover at my local goodwill! It was only $8. I don’t know too much about these machines, so any insight would be greatly appreciated. It didn’t need to much work, just a light cleaning and a bit of JB weld on a cracked part. It runs alright, and it has all the...

I recently disassembled my Royal Prince hand vac to clean/service it. Everything was going smoothly until I had put it all back together. It turned on and ran fine. Until a few days later when I noticed something. The motor shaft slides back and forth if I move it with my hand (I'm having...

Very cool! As for age my educated guess would be around 1910, But I could be wrong. Did it have any attachments? Or just the hose?

I have the entire handle assembly in my shop. I’d happily list it on eBay if you would like to purchase it.

I have to say, Patriot might be one of my favorite canister vac brands. One of my family members has one and I love that thing! What a great price you paid! I hope you enjoy your find.
