    What is the Weirdest Vacuums You've Seen?

    Dude, this dealer ( stealer ) charges huge amounts of money for parts, double what any other dealer charges and their labor rates ain't cheap either. Plus they are over three hours drive away. Why spend all that time and money when I can do the work myself for a fraction of the price? That...

    What is this?

    Nah. The Eureka hose ours came with is nasty compared to the nice woven cloth hose Swedish Luxes came with and the Eureka Vibragroomer or Express / Rugmaster power nozzles they came with here are crude and noisy compared to the silent Ze3. You have this silent refined Lux vacuum, then you...

    Hi Looking to Purchase a New Vac

    Welcome to the forum. An upright for hard floors that also has a turbo brush is a tall order. The one upright with all the features you need that comes to mind is the Cirrus C-CR99. It has a brush roll shut off for use on hard floors, comes with a spotting hose, a full set of attachments and a...

    Looking for a New Home for my vacuums that are just sitting in my garage

    Do you have model numbers for the canister vacuums and some images? I collect Panasonic, Kenmore and Hoover canister vacs among others and am always looking for hard to find vintage hoses. I live in the high desert of California so not so far away.

    What is this?

    The Lux D770 I recently bought from Japan I bought more for the hoses and Ze3 it came with. They were the wrong color for a D770 ( white instead of gray ) and the Ze3 had silver and orange graphics instead of the gray a D770's Ze3 would be, but both are exactly what I need for my Viking V720 to...

    Miele customer moved to Sebo

    Don't know about the D4 but the hose for the C and K models has a sliding speed control so pretty much infinite possible settings between the high and low limits.

    What is the Weirdest Vacuums You've Seen?

    California has a recently passed Right to Repair law but the Aerus dealer for our region resolutely ignores it. They won't even sell you a brush roll for your power nozzle, expecting you to bring the power nozzle in and have their tech replace it. As a result I buy what I need from a couple of...

    Spur-of-the moment vacquisiton...

    The V in MC-V means the vacuum was a product of the Whirlpool-Panasonic joint venture from 1990-1995.

    nilfisk VP300,VP400 and VP500

    Does New Zealand have a maximum power allowed for vacuums like the EU's 900 watt ceiling? Panasonic sells a bagged canister vacuum called the Eco Max Bagged Vacuum Cleaner in New Zealand that has variable power, draws a maximum of 1400 watts of electrical power and claims 420 watts of cleaning...

    What is this?

    "What's this?" My first thought was "gee, that's what I say to my big. dumb, goofy, trash hound male Husky every morning when I encounter the previous night's chewing project" O_O But seriously it looks like the hose handle for a Kirby.

    Trash Found Triple S Versamate (Sebo 350/1st Gen Windsor Versamatic)

    More to go wrong. Somehow I have manged to clean my homes adequately for many decades with machines that have an on off switch and maybe full bag indicator and a way to change motor speed. No light show. No LCD screens. No software uploads. My favorite machines tend to be the ones with the...

    nilfisk VP300,VP400 and VP500

    The corded models are only showing 250 watts of cleaning power. That is pretty wimpy.

    Miele customer moved to Sebo

    You can see from where the orange clean out door is the suction inlet is more centered on the nozzle on an ET-2.

    Miele customer moved to Sebo

    The suction inlet is off to the side of the neck on the ET-1/2, not centered on the neck like most. Air flows the opening in the nozzle and enters the side of the neck rather than up the middle and the offset is to the side opposite the motor and belt. No idea why Sebo chose to do it that...

    Dyson Piston

    I've had "washable" filters last fewer washes than that. And they really don't come clean from washing.

    Here is the first generation DutchTech with no power nozzle.

    Peculiar Tellus/ nilfisk machines

    The hose on the left looks like the hose sold with the first generation of the DutchTech but there was no means to turn the vacuum off from the hose end. The switch operated the power nozzle. Here is the second generation of the Dutchtech which had a Plastiflex central vacuum gas pump hose...

    Oreck xl 3700hh wiring

    On any simple vacuum like this there will be two wires from the cord to the handle, hot and neutral. The hot wire could be black or red and neutral ought to be white. The hot lead will go to the off-on switch. The white neutral lead will connect to the motor. Another wire exits the off-on...
