    A HOOVER home

    A friend gave me my Hoover electric knife to replace a Hoover electric knife that sadly grew legs and left me. I love my Hoovers.

    Sam Thank you for taking time to let us know about your trip to John's. He is the ultimate Hoover guru. What I love most about John is the fact that he's also interested in other brands of cleaners - even though he has sold Hoover his entire life. What a great thing it is to be able to sell...

    kirby brush roll ?

    The ends are odd, nothing like a Kirby. Kirby has a vinyl 'cushion' on each end. Also, Kirby bearing covers do not go 'over' the brush. The nut holding one of the adjustment screws is also odd. It's possible it's a bojack Kirby brush, but all the bojack brush rolls I've seen are made by CWP...

    When I repair a vacuum, I purposely do NOT use the 'correct' color replacement part. It's how I know what I fixed the next time I see the vacuum. Yesterday, a woman came in with her G5 Kirby. It has a G4 handle grip, a G3 upper cord hook, a G4 mini-emptor, and a G6 power cord. With respect...

    Can I replace the motor on my Electrolux L (1979)?

    These photos represent both the after as well as the "before". This completely rebuilt motor will run at least another 20 years.

    One of my very favorite Electrolux cleaners is my Canadian model ZB 30. I have a number of Canadian models in my collection, they are all smooth running and quiet.

    I kind of don't like retractable hose systems.

    10 years ago when I moved into my house, my friend Evan installed my central vacuum. It is a silent master, the largest model they make. The name is a misnomer because it is anything but silent. It has tremendous power along with multiple motors. I like the HEPA disposable bag. I have had the...

    Circle the Wagons. I have already sold 3/4 of the collection, but these are some of my pride and joy machines. Can't wait to retire, planning to visit Dollywood and Nashville this year.

    Premier Spic and Span Hand vac

    I have a perfect one that's been sitting on my workbench in the original box with the original parts and the original cord in perfect condition for a long time. I'm getting ready to retire and don't know what to do with all this stuff. It was headed for the dump. Maybe you can use it.

    Many people think the Super J and the Golden Jubilee models are basically the same, but they are not. The Super J is longer and has a much more powerful motor. Also, the model number of the Golden Jubilee model is 1205 just like the last of the blue 1205 models. Really with the exception of...

    *FREE Electrolux Model 1205 Parts Vacuum w/ hose

    I think it's awesome you are offering the Electrolux. The motor will not turn on without a disposable bag inside. You can open the front door, plug it in, turn the switch on so the light is illuminated, then push the grey button on the inside of the bag door to test that the motor starts.
