I had a Dirt Devil Power Reach probably 15 years ago, it was fine but I don't remember the head being powered. I'm pretty sure it was turbine driven, but its been so long i could be wrong.

I would really like that. I like the stiffer bristles on my old Widepath better than on my Powermax 2.

Agreed, the tan hose was atrocious. My mom had to replace the hose after only a year or two of owning her Powermax, and then she made the jump to Kirbys. When I bough mine it had duck tape on the hose, so I replaced it with another and that only lasted for a few months before that cracked...

I have a Powermax Supreme, love it. Parents got one for their wedding in 98 from grandma, gave it away about 10 years later. 11 years after that when I started cleaning for my other grandma I found one on ebay and have had it ever since. Works great, recently had it serviced and it runs better...

Hello all, I am just wondering if anyone else has been baffled by the prices of some units prices recently. I was trying to find a affordably priced Dirt Devil Featherlite(I know people don't like Dirt Devil, but I had a good experience with my Featherlite in the past and would like to have one...

Eureka World Vac I recently bought a World Vac soft bag similar to that and the plastic is so brittle it is just snapping off. The vacuum tipped over while cleaning it and the cord hook broke off, the carry handle, and a few other little bits of plastic. Going to super glue it all and then sell t.

I've got one, it was actually my first elite style machine. Really like it.

Politics Not sure why we need to bring liberal/conservative talk into this, this is about the cost of a vacuum in 1964.

Hi all, I was wondering what size bearings would be used for the powernozzle motor for a Powermax Supreme Canister and a Windtunnel canister. I assume it would be the standard 8mm bearing, no?

Good find! I have a Powermax Supreme, the highest end model they made, and other than the frequent hose splitting at the handle with the grey hose it has been phenomenal. I ended up replacing the hose with a black more rubbery one, took a while to find one with the electronic suction control...

Hi all, I've got a Hoover Powermax canister with the electronic suction control that I use and leave at my grandmothers house, and I've noticed the hose keeps cracking on the underside near the handle. It is the 3 wire connection, and I've ordered 2 replacement hoses off of ebay and had the...

I personally have seen some sold on facebook marketplace for a fair price

Hello all, I recently got a Hoover Windtunnel Self Propelled from Goodwill, cleaned it up and had a new switch put in. The only issue I am having now is that the Self Propelled feature is stuck on and wont turn off. I've looked into it and it there is a small crack on the actuator arm, but from...

In Illinois As far as I know, there are still two KMarts in Illinois, however i haven't been in either in a long time so i am unaware of the vacuum section there.

I never thought I'd be sitting here feeling bad for a vacuum cleaner but here we are.
