If I had to choose only one it’d be upright, I find them easier and I’ve found in the past canister wands can be a touch too short for me and gives me back ache (when using them to clean carpets) plus we’ve only got two rooms (kitchen and bathroom) with hard floors, one where I can just sweep...

Depends for me, since getting my Sebo evolution I’ve been exclusively using that one all the time/as my go to. But, from personal preference if it’s a particularly messy job or above floor I like to use my 2014 numatic Henry. I do use some of my older/vintage vacuums rarely more when nostalgia...

I know right, it was just by chance I found it, was cleaning the brushroll and some hair was stuck right underneath that one spot and that’s when I felt it loose 😂

Solved! If anyone else has this issue, it could be the little metal support bits on the base plate. Mine were loose and causing the issue, gluing them down has resolved the issue. Much more pleasant to use now thankfully!

Especially after all this effort I’m going through 😂 it’s one of the very first turbopowers that has colour matched bellows and bag door latch so want to keep it all original if possible.

Awesome thank you. Think I’m going to get some new brushes at this point even reseating the originals I can feel one is loose and moving the motor by hand can feel it’s rough.

I’ve took everyone’s advice, just need to reseat the brushes some more and will do another test run in the next few days and let everyone know. Hopefully it just a brush issue.

No all motor casing etc has been thoroughly cleaned and dried it was filthy before I worked on it. Any none washable parts got a quick wipe with a cloth.

Good point thank you. I used to do this every time but with it being years since I’ve last worked on any motors it slipped my mind. I’ve done this and just need to test it out will let you know if it sorts the issue.

only just noticed the original video I listed didn’t actually show the issue (I really hate YouTube at times!) Here’s a video that actually shows the issue if anyone has any more suggestions.

Here you go, as promised. Schematics arrived yesterday and finally remembered to take some pictures for you. Hope they help.

Yes both bearings were replaced, top one was worn other was seized completely I always make it a point to replace both. Motor was completely stripped so definitely nothing in all washers etc are placed exactly as they should. I took a reference photo of brushes as they came out so definitely in...

Was servicing this turbopower and gave the motor a test run before I went rebuilding anything else (motor sounded awful before I even started work so wasn’t holding out much hope) Just looking for a second opinion on this motor, In my opinion I think it’s burning out (have never actually...

I never even gave that a thought 😅 thank you. I don’t believe I have one close to me, but I can always have a tinker and see if it sorts it.
