Hi Santiago, that is a very nice Electrolux Z73 you were given. Shouldn't take much to put that back into mint condition. :-) As for getting your hose repaired, Electrolux AB in North America won't be much help to you. They pulled out of North America in 2017, because their Hungarian made...

John, you might find it easier to find a Electrolux LXI on Ebay, scrap your old one and save the parts from it instead of finding the aftermarket wheels that mount on the runners. It's been my experience that most aftermarket parts are harder to find once it's discontinued than the OEM part is...

Mike, I actually feel the opposite of how you feel about the Sebo Felix. It's one vacuum I have grown to dislike! It's VERY top heavy, and puts out a lot of hot air while vacuuming floors or carpets. So much so that I won't use it in the summer months from May to September. The swivel neck on...

Well Gang, SEBO have FINALLY introduced their own stick vacuum! And this one looks promising. Yes, it is a Dyson style machine, and it does look like SEBO have partnered with an Asian manufacturer for this product. But, this gets A LOT of things right - like the removable battery - and this...

Just a warning to anyone reading this - The Perfect C103/Clean Obsessed powerhead and it's parts are NOT the same as the Electrolux PN5 and newer powerheads. The "Wheel Axle Cover", as it's called by Aerus, the Perfect part will fit in place of the original part. However, there was a version...

Kirbyman65, I would suggest you ignore Nathaniel's suggestion to get the Hoover GUV. The Hoover central vacs are cheaply made with a Ametek Advantek single stage motor that has a VERY SHORT lifespan- the only thing good about the motor is the replacement cost! I can't speak to the Bissell...

Antoine, it could be one of the bag door contacts that sends the power through to the electric hose may be faulty. This happened back in 2020 to my Electrolux Epic 6500SR. There is a fuse built into the wire that can fail. Try opening up the bag door, cut out the fuse on the wire leading up to...

Right now, I am using a Hoover Windtunnel Anniversary Edition S3670 canister with a Royal Pro Series Power Pak powerhead as my beater vacuum. I wouldn't call it a "beater vacuum", but it's also one that if it died tomorrow I wouldn't lose any sleep over it or go to great lengths to replace it...

David, those 2 pics of your cat with the vacuum are sooooo cute! Looks like he wanted to give his cheek a good scratch with the brush. But hey, I am seeing a new vacuum there too. When did you get the Henry? Are you liking it? Give us a mini review please :)

Paul, Pic 4 looks more like it's a Oreck XL Commercial Canister rebadge to me, not a Royal. Look in the archives, there are some threads on the Oreck.

Why not try using a Kirby HEPA Cloth bag? I think that would work since it's one of the largest upright bags on the market. Take off the cardboard collar, close the hole up with staples or glue, and then cut the side of the bag open and line the GE cloth motor bag with it.

Nice score Antoine! That will go nicely with your yellow C8. Just as a cautionary measure, I would order a Eureka powerhead motor to have on hand as a spare though - if it has the original motor and it's from the 70s, that motor could be on borrowed time. And with how quickly the world has...

For starters, I am referring to the Royal MRY7910- link to the YouTube video on it below. Like the Hoover, you may be able to find one New Old Stock, like those 2 Hoover SteamVac machines were, or find a gently used model. As for the Hoover SteamVac not having a brushroll or rotating brushes...

My vote would be to go for the Royal version of the Dirt Devil Platinum Force carpet extractor. It's supposed to be even better than the Hoover Steam Vac at cleaning carpets, and vac shops favor them for their reliability. As for the Hoover SteamVac, I had a similar model to the one linked to...

Yes, that's definitely overpriced! Only someone loony and out of their mind would pay over $200 for that Kirby dump out bag! BTW, I would NOT deal with VacSewCenter on Ebay! Back a couple years ago, I bought a Dirt Devil Power Pak powerhead brushroll. They sent the WRONG ITEM, and did NOTHING...

Try cleaning out the fans in the motor. If it was used for years with substandard generic bags, the dust buildup in the fans would definitely cause that issue. Also check the rubber motor mount - they are known for cracking and breaking.

Doyle, can I make a suggestion here? It might be hard to find a used bag since this is a commercial grade machine. What you could do, though, since the filter bag support cage looks like it's a separate part, I would get a inverted cloth central vac bag - the kind that Beam uses as a motor...

I don't think there are any Dirt Devil U HEPA Cloth bags made. But, the hole size and the dimensions of the bag are close enough to a Hoover Y HEPA Cloth bag that one of them should work. Also, for the Dirt Devil Featherlite uprights requiring the D bag, I was able to make a Kenmore...

John, you were VERY SMART to upgrade and update your home's electrical system and do EVERYTHING, right down to the plugs. It's very common here in Canada to hear of homes over 90 years old to go up in flames. Sure it could be just the fact the wood framing is so old, dry and brittle, but one has...

Karl I wish you the best of luck in selling the extra machines you don't need or want from Jason Huber's collection. He certainly had some very nice machines, and I am sure you will have no problem finding interested parties to take them off your hands. And I want to personally thank you, by...
