I have had the motor cover off of mine. Its a bit tricky to get the "pedal" off, but I did so, and there's a few screws underneath and the motor cover should come off. Sorry for the delay and if needed, I can open my machine up and provide some pictures.

I'd say go for it. They aren't bad at all. My neighbor has one as its a lot lighter than the Kenmore Progressive Direct Drive she had. Her daughter bought her one of those and I agreed to do a monthly service on it for her. It works well for her needs and she can use it a lot easier than her...

So I have one of these machines! Mine doesn't have the original wands or floor nozzle though. Mine does have a slightly different label, but is the same model. I can get some better pictures later, but its nice to see another one of these machines.

I'm a daily reader, but I don't post as much as I'd like to. My career and family keep me pretty busy but I do check here daily.

I'm excited to see these! I wouldn't mind having one myself, but not a priority as I have a few Riccar machines. I have a Vibrance Classic I purchased new in 2013, a HP-3000, and a 8950.

What is the brushroll width? I have a Bravo II baseplate and brushroll but I need to measure the size. If they'll work for you you can have them for the cost of shipping.

The Eureka Aero comes to mind to me.

Let me look in my stash. I might have one.

I have a newer iteration of the Riccar. I have a 2013 Vibrance Classic and it is a rock solid machine. I bought it new with the deluxe attachment kit for roughly $300 and it has been a great machine. My wife loves using vs her Hoover Windtunnel XL she bought in December of 2021.

I found this at the Habitat Restore in Amarillo a little while back. This machine purrs like a kitten. It's interesting to find one of these 120v/60Hz 240v/50Hz machines in the wild to me. It's joined my fleet of Hoover Vacuums and it's kinda cool to me.

To me it's this straight suction Kenmore in translucent red and grey. I wish I still had this machine.

Would anyone have a couple of these laying around? I bought this machine a couple years back and I'm finally getting around to it on my back log of machines.

I have a Bagless Tempo which this machine is but in Yellow. It clogs so quickly, but it's a nostalgic machine to me as it was the very vacuum I used at my first job at Fleming's Furniture when I was in High School. I fixed up a Kirby G3 to use in their store and they've used it for the last 10...

You don't see the Hoover Sprint terribly often either. It looks like the green bagless Runabout upright a few posts up except its in silver. I have a 12v corded version of the Hoover Dubl-Duty Wet/Dry Hand Vac rebranded as the Hoover Road Rat. It has a bag it and it's two attachment slide into...

My Son is one now and ever since he was three months old I had put him in his "baby holster" with him facing towards my chest and I would vacuum with one of my quieter vacuums like my Hoover Convertible 1010, Electrolux Model E, Oreck Dutchtech DTX1300 or my Kenmore Magic Blue and it would help...
