If you're having allergy issues due to stuff in the motor, then blow it out. Hoover actually made it very easy to get to the motor on this unit. You had to remove some bolts from under to the bag in-order to replace the muffler foam. The next step is removing a few screws that hold the white...

If you're looking for a lightweight, bagged, powerful canister then the Perfect C105 or similar is where you want to look! From internet photos, you might confuse the C105 to a Sanitaire/ Eureka Mighty Mite style machine. It is not! The Perfect is larger, not by a ton but it's slightly larger...

Sounds to me like the motor was replaced. That sounds a lot more like a 7 amp than it does a 5.5 amp. Still a great machine. Nice find.

Great vacs! I hope by now that you have flipped the brush roll 180 degrees! The shorter end of brush patter on brush roll goes with shorter opening of base plate. That way the belt is protected more by the rug guard on base plate.

Wow, that's a big list! My knowledge of that era is quite limited. Would be cool to find pamphlets of all the machines and learn what color, features pertained to various models.

That wasn't the absolute best vacuum market but I'd gladly revert back to the era of the first 3 photos over what we have now!! I'd love to have Sears back too!

That's a Hot Rod Red!! Gorgeous, very nice find! It's one of the last of the Elites since it has the 12amp motor and that also helps explain it being louder too.

Welcome to the group! Great looking collection you have brewing. Are you in any Facebook vac groups too? You're in a good neck of the woods. I'm in State College.

Here's a video comparison that I made of mine a few months back along with a very unique WorldVac upright.

Have you serviced it?? Something tells me that your machine is suffering a malfunction. I have the same model and love it. It's quieter than the Hoover Windtunnel upright I had which was a TTI version with shrill motor. I have replaced the brush roll and greased both motor bearings. The...

I had a Jet-Flo MC-6210 and it had the same design. To my understanding it was Panasonic's design for a clutch to turn the brush roll off. When the user switch the clutch, it shifted the belt to an idler. Neat system and it did work well. I always loved how quiet the Jet-Flo and many...

GottaHaveaHoove and Kloveland are correct! There are many who are no longer friends with a certain individual and crowd due to awful occurrences just 5 months ago. Many lost who they thought was a great friend. But the ship has sailed. We all try to see the good in things, meet and judge...

My pick: Riccar R25 Simplicity S20EZM Allergy Kenmore bagged upright

Nice looking Hoover Hoover TurboPower 1500 upright. That was the entry level Hoover TurboPower upright, originally sold for about $70. This post really belongs in the Supermarket area, it may get more hits there.

The PowerMax II was a good looking unit and they do appear on eBay, FB Marketplace and other places. It was a hybrid of the Hoover CaddyVac floorhead with Breathe Easy/ WidePath Bag and handle assembly.

Go for it, they're good cleaners! I recently picked up a Eureka Powerline from that era. It's loud but a great performer!

RugSucker is correct. The rear wheels hide screws that need to be removed in-order to reach the cord winder. The rear wheels and axles are one part. Flip the suction on its back so that the rear wheels are up in the are. You will notice the rectangular shaped clip of the rear wheel attached...

Huge difference with a HEPA bag! I started using HEPA bags a few years ago and I have gradually tried to convert everything I can to it. HEPA bags are multilayer and thicker but the "fabric" feel of them makes them breathe easier. Paper bags are very thin and once a layer of dirt gets on it...

@panasonicvac-- I love your channel!! PanasonicVac, I've seen many of your videos over the years on YouTube and love your channel!! You have a great collection. Not sure if you're on any FB vac groups but I think it would be awesome if you were. Thanks for sharing your PowerMax II video to...

Great find! Those are nice and were on the market for a couple years to my memory but I'm not sure exactly what retailers. It was like a hybrid model which was cool. They have the upper handle and body assembly of a Hoover WidePath/ Breathe Easy upright as it has the added micro filter. The...
