    Vacuum Club on the news

    Not sure if this is the same thing you are mentioning. Coincidentally. The vacuum cleaner collectors club VCCC was on how to with John Wilson on HBO Max last night. The episode is called how to watch the game.

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Yes, I'm fairly certain it was to run the Dri-clean power nozzle without the suction from the canister. This is my second one of the exact same model and both would run with the canister switch off. I'm going off of what Danorob1 said in his post. I put a link to the original post in the...

    A little pet peeve I have...

    "tune the vacuum up daily, you'd be fine." - that's the key! Will most janitors and housekeeping staff do that? no. That is why I like the tried and true Sanitaire dumb bag machines, they can take abuse.

    Went to Greg Palmers yearly vac meet

    Rob, I’m sorry I even mentioned him. I wasn’t friends with him when he died either (went sour fast). In the beginning, I was (met him in person, a couple of times). I don’t really feel that I’m the person to elaborate. You can search the archives without being a member. I’m pretty sure it was...

    Went to Greg Palmers yearly vac meet

    Rob. Yes, it was a couple yrs ago. I know there’s a past thread on this in the miscellaneous section.

    Went to Greg Palmers yearly vac meet

    That Sovereign is rare! The only one I saw in person was at Phillip's house it was burgundy with the cord winder in the back. I believe it belonged to Jason (RIP). I saw the pictures on Facebook. Looked like fun with lots of vacs.

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Right but Tom, Edgar and myself. Said the same thing about the pn wire not being connected to the switch. You are simply restating what has already been said. And was it necessarily a problem if the canister was manufactured that way? Maybe my reading comprehension is bad. But I think the...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    I have to agree with Rob on this one. I had an ultralux 80th that was sold thru QVC. It had two PNs. One for regular use and one for carpet cleaning powder. The power nozzle ran it by itself. When the canister was plugged in. You can probably open it up and put the lead from the pn on the switch.

    Electrolux CB Motor Replacement

    How weak? Those CBs didn't have tons of power to begin with anyway. I was disappointed when I first used one to find them a little below the power of a regular canister. Did you check the large cloth filter? Wash it? I'd blow/wash out the fans with an air compressor and check the commutator...

    Aerus Vacuums with Plastic Wands

    Beginning with the Electrolux 6500 SR. The first 6000 had the metal wands. Early 90's. You can look at the model chart to be sure.

    A little pet peeve I have...

    With that line of thinking are you going to mandate all commercial environments use Merv 15 filters in their HVAC units and organic cleaning products? Not trying to be rude. Just saying!

    A little pet peeve I have...

    I think shake out bags are economical for the commercial environment. I really don't see the issue in a commercial setting.

    (1987) Kenmore Lifestyle l self propelled model 175.3780280 upright vacuum.

    Are you finding these on the curb? or dump? Do you plan on putting a cord on it to test it? I had one of these. One of the fans stripped off the shaft and I trashed it. Thinking. I probably wouldn't be able to find another fan. I have the owners manual and can upload tomorrow if anyone would...

    All the Way to Santa Fe, the 2023 VCCC Convention

    I've added some more. The convertibles on the table were donated to the club and given away as game prizes. I walked away with a 69 and Luke won the 68 and 34 I believe. We had plenty of vacs to raffle, and for the free and for sale piles. Chris received a very nice Eureka 260? (It was brown, I...

    All the Way to Santa Fe, the 2023 VCCC Convention

    luxlife I put them on our website instead of vacuumland. Also, the club officers have been updated on our site as well under "contact us". We are going back to emailing the newsletter. Ken and Barb are taking on that task. Since the cost of physically mailing, it was still high for us. We...
