    Sebo Felix Cable Problems AGAIN

    I would say.... Its up to you, if you like the vacuum enough look at e-bay for a used cord/cable. I like the SEBO but if they are going to be like that I wouldnt give them any more of your business, on the other hand you are kinda stuck if you really like the vac. If it were me Id look into a...

    Shop Vac for Claeaning Vacuums

    858 I would think it would work well...I've used one for that back when I had one. The only thing is the bag would clog fairly easy on the Connie. My Kenmore Whispertone did well with generic Micro fresh bags Wally world used to sell.

    Using a hand held steam cleaner to detail vintage machines

    Ive used steam on metal and some plastics. As long as you dont put the nozzle right on the surface I dont thinks theres a problem. Ive even steamed vinyl bags without a problem, just not where any writing is. That goes for plastics to. Id be afraid the lettering would get damaged.

    Hoover Platinum Lighweight bagged

    Sweet deal Bobby, I almost bought one last week on Amazon, but i couldnt see spending the 200 bucks on a vacuum that I probably wont use alot. I do need a new daily driver for upstairs but I prefer a canister, especially if my sister uses it. She tends to pick up things that she shouldnt. But...

    This is a first.

    Wow, nice to know it still runs, I wish I still had mine. I guess they weren't very popular cause there so few and far between. This is the first one Ive seen in about 15 years. The plastics were prone to break especially the wand clips. Mine actually had buttons in the same gray as did the red...

I thought he got the extended warranty(so did he) so I took it to sears to fix the switch and get a wheel and when it came back they wanted $102.00, mom was like keep it =( Not...

    Dirt Devil Vision Self Propelled Upright

    I had a blue one back in 03 I didnt like the S/P, I don't use it on any vac that has it though. Mine worked pretty good, The tranmission did remind me of Hoover alot. The little shut off tab for the S/P on the back of the handle broke on mine then not long after that the motor went even though I...

    need help defeating a safety mechanism

    The one to the left is the on/off button, the thermal protection is im thinking is at the end of the black wire, first try cleaning it with half boiling water/half vinnegar from a pot directly into the steamer, let it sit for a while. Its probably limescale and or calcium thats built up in the...

    Seeking advice about generic tools for Tristar CXL and Electrolux tanks

    Im sure most standard attachments will fit both ends, I like the electrolux bare floor nozzle, it has spaces in the front bristles so it doesnt "snow plow" most things. You can find the generic on ebay. I also like the Kenmore bare floor brush because the brushes are more in the middle as not to...
