Congratulations! Hello and sorry for not seeing this sooner. I received your email and also message here in Vacuumland. Your machine was manufactured December 2001. The first 4 digits of that serial are MMYY of manufacture. The 3 screws in triangle pattern missing on yours would be for...

What a Great Time! Thanks so much for organizing and hosting yet another convention Tom. I had a great time. I wanna say this was my fifth convention of yours that I've been able to attend. It was only proper that I make it to this one since the theme was Power Nozzle Canister Vacuums. So...

You can't beat a Central Vac! When installed properly, and I'll emphasize that properly is the key, they are the best. Central vacs take all the dust in your home and suck it to a central location then emitting HEPA filtered air away from your primary living environment or vented outside...

Did you find one yet? Usually you can search eBay for Hoover Quadraflex Powermatic and find one. Any Hoover power nozzle with pig tail cord and raised button wand lock will fit that machine. Granted it can depend what model Hoover Dimension you have. Does your machine have a gas pump...

Yes, that's it! Hoover used that bearing in just about every brush roll of uprights and canisters from 1970s to mid 2000s. The true Hoover brush rolls had those bearings. Once TTI took over then brush rolls started getting made by CWP and it all changed and many parts went away. Don't get...

Looks like you guys had a great time! Nice visit and the delicious Pittston Tea is an added benefit to Tom's long journey.

Gorgeous! Terrific looking collection, lots of great looking vacs!

Celebrity canisters are great machines. I presently own two but had a three up until recently. I only own the power nozzle models as brush rolls are my favorite part of the machines. Here are some of my advice tips: Stick to genuine Hoover H bags. The Celebrity uses a 13 Quart horseshoe...

Various machines have various LEDs There have been many vacuums over the years with various light indications, but it depends on what mode or tools are being used. There are many high end vacs that have LEDs always on while the canister unit is plugged into the wall. Certain units also have...

Chuck's store was great! I came home with a few good purchases. No vacs but various parts for uprights and canisters in my collection and for friends. In terms of a room John, I wouldn't know if the hotel had vacancies or not. I was given offers of places to stay by others so didn't need to...

Had a great time! Thank you for allowing me the impromptu last second meetup. I had a great time with you all on Saturday and Sunday. I got the opportunity to meet many new faces in addition to re-visiting with some that I haven't seen in a while. Sorry my camera didn't emerge but I look...

Does anyone remember the thread on this site a few years back just before the Avalir release?? Everyone knew that a model change was coming. The Sentria had a very long run. People anticipated a change and were stoked. Then the Sentria II came out and we saw only color changes. Many were...

I think the only issue with Kirby is their ability to innovate and move with the market. That and their sales tactics. They have a powerful, proven design that is great on carpet and has a wide array of attachments for many tasks. The problem is that the new consumer level is "LAZY". They...

Newer motor??? If they have a new motor, I might be interested to try.. I have yet to use a Sebo/ Windsor machine on carpet and be impressed with the results. All of the ones I've used have cleaned terribly from brand news on display in vac shops to being used in the field. The E series...

A model with the Wessel Werk EBK 340 or EBK360 power nozzle sounds exciting. Both of those offer very strong agitation and headlights. I would not be able to purchase a model if it came with the Sebo ET-1 power nozzle as pictured. I've tried a few various brush rolls as Sebo offers bristles...

STUNNING! That Whirlpool canister with the power head is stunning. Just like a Lady Kenmore canister but attractively styled. Nice! I think I tried a Pink Lady Kenmore power team but don't remember the experience.

Those are great cleaners!

Hi Fan of Fans! The Bissell Bissell Big Green PowerBrush was only meant for use as a Carpet Shampooer. It did not double as s Dry vac like the Kenmore. The 3 switches were: Suction Spray Brush They were 3 motor systems with the motorized carpet scrubbing head.

Miele! It sounds like you already have some Sebos. Get yourself a nice Miele. I'm not good with their model numbers. However, they have a navy blue fully featured canister with SEB236 power head. It looks gorgeous and it's on my want list someday. Mieles are great canisters.. powerful...

I'll comment on Tom's generosity too... I've met Tom a few times and he is a generous, kind soul filled with knowledge and has been a great friend. Ever since meeting him a few years ago at a convention, I've tried to make annual trips around my work and of course 2020 has been hard with...
