Check out Windsor's website. They probably have the replacement parts for your particular model: https://windsorvacuums.com/

Thanks Cole! Good info to know. I tried it out for a few minutes the other day and it works very well. Is says to use 20 weight oil, but I wonder if 3 in 1 motor oil would also work.

I wonder what’s wrong with it. I see it says As Is on the tag. Seems like it would be good for cleaning the carpets in huge hotel ballrooms and similar places.

The bright green one was a Kenmore. It's actually just a grease pen they use to write prices on some things like vacuums, so it thankfully comes off fairly easily!

I saw a few bagged vacs mixed in with carpet cleaners at the thrift store yesterday.

I came across this interesting fan yesterday. I believe it is a Kenmore model, but a portion of the tag is missing. I worked cleaning it up a bit with just a damp cloth. It was very dirty, but everything looked to be in good condition for the most part, including what looks to be the original...

Thanks repairman for the kit number! I’ll probably go ahead and purchase that.

Ok thanks. That’s helpful to know. Under the hood was really clean with very little dust. Motor sounds healthy as well. I only ran it for a moment to make sure since the bag is mostly full. Do these belts typically need to be changed periodically? They seem to be in decent shape.

@luxlife. Yeah no sharpie marks thankfully, only a serial number carved in the plastic in two places but not even really noticeable unless you are looking for it. It's very small. Is the brush/up down feature supposed to work when the machine is off or only when turned on? It physically moves...

Thank you luxlife and panasonicvac! This is helpful info! I tried taking the hood off myself yesterday eve but had trouble so I'll check out the links to see if I can get to the insides to check them out.

I came across a Windsor sensor xp12 vacuum at a thrift store recently. It’s scuffed up in places and dirty, it all the parts seem to be there, including attachments. Were these primarily used in hotels and commercial settings? I haven’t seen one of these in person before but the first thing I...

You’re right John. They are pretty heavy vacuums in general but they seem to do a great job on carpets! I only have one bagless vacuum, which is a Kenmore Elite cordless stick vacuum. It is great for bare floors and picking up cat hair with the pet turbo brush. It’s convenient to use for quick...

Nice Alex! Yeah I love finding the upright Lux vacs for cheap at thrift shops. Can usually get them for hardly anything! Hi Barry. Yeah I typically would not consider picking up a Kirby since I only have one room with wall to wall carpet, but they are such well made machines I thought I should...

I haven’t shined it up yet, just a general cleaning of the dust and hair from the brush roll. The belt appeared to be fairly new. The genuine Kirby disposable bag only had a tiny amount of dirt in it. Everything seems to work as it should including the direct drive and the stepper carpet height...

Found another vacuum today at the local thrift store. I’d seen it sitting there for probably a couple weeks and passed it up as I told myself I didn’t need another vacuum! Anyways, it was still there again this afternoon marked down to a smidge under $25. I ran the motor in the store for a...
