    What to do when you move

    So my girlfriend and I will be buying our first house and I'm wondering what others have done about moving your collection. I'm trying to decide if I box up the machines I have the original boxes for or just move them as is. It's only 15 minutes from where we currently live so I won't be...

    Who Thought This Was A Good Idea!?!?!??!?!?!?!?

    The one at my girlfriends work just "stopped picking up" for the second time, I think it's the end though. The short cord coming from the unit apparently has exposed wires. The handle release just broke too, I had her bring it to my vac guy and we installed a new brush belt and filter. The...

    Poor filtration with Genuine Kenmore Allergen Filtration Bags

    YES! I do the same thing with my bags, you will notice a huge difference in motor pitch when you have it rigged versus not. Any kind of prop will work really,just experiment.

    Poor filtration with Genuine Kenmore Allergen Filtration Bags

    I second what mark40511 says The collar leaks a ton of dust, I put a piece of tape between the collar and cover the cardboard part of the bag that sticks out. Let's just st say after washing the tool lid and doing the piece of tape I see no more dust, I recommend using hepa bags too. I will...

    Wanted, Hoover elite cord

    I recently purchased a NIB Hoover elite 200, the cord is ridiculously short. The box says convenient long cord, but let me tell you there is nothing convenient about 15', I thought I couldn't get shorter than my other NIB elite II. But I was sorely wrong. Anyways I'm looking for a white elite/...

    Wanted Hoover convertible 700 or heavy duty

    I'm looking for a convertible 700 or the model just labeled as a heavy duty but was similar to the 700. Smileyhq on YouTube aka Davin has exactly the model I'm looking for on his channel. I would be ok with a 700 too, I will add that I'm picky and like basically mint condition machines.

    Trying to decide: Miele or Aerus?

    I own both, if you don't like the Miele tools I would choose the aerus. If you don't mind the Miele tools then I would look at the most expensive Miele as it's comparable to price of the platinum. I did have an issue with my platinum, the PN would not work and the machine smelled like it was...

    Electrolux 4000

    If you saw them with empty slots I'm sure they just fell out. My guess is that th y helped with the skipping effect on carpets if vacuumed the wrong way.

    Electrolux 4000

    Look carefully at the edges of a PN 1692-93 and you will see what I said about tiny brush strips, not the whole length like a pn6, hence why I said tiny. Naturally the upright versions that were around for the 1692/93 had them too, those models were the genesis lx and genesis LXe. The wire...

    Electrolux 4000

    The nozzles have changed, the discovery II through the genesis used a a style that was like the bottom of a pn5 -6a, then they went to a bottom like the 1692-93 PN with the tiny little brush strips at the corners. Then came the style with the air velocity slots in front. At some point when...

    Electrolux 4000

    The lux 6000 had a separate electric hose just like the 4,000 I know because I had one. Also they were just the regular sidekick not the sidekick II like the ones found on the current legacy canister and the one introduced on the epic 6500 sr.

    Electrolux 4000

    The lux 4,000 & 6,000 had separate electric hoses. It was direct connect on the top of the bag door and the end that attached to the machine looked similar to the end of a renaissance hose. I see those hoses and sidekick on eBay frequently.

    Whatever happened to these Aerus uprights?

    They look like the toy dirt devil deluxe painted black with aerus stickers on them, look at the background to gauge the sizing. They are clearly children sized.

    Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum

    That cordless vac is like the Hoover cruise that just released

    My Aerus Guardian canister.

    Rainbow Joel Those are not NOS brush rolls, as electromatik pointed out the grooves do not line up. They must've used a model with the wire guards as spacing for the grooves. I bought one just like this on eBay a month ago, I just pulled out the tufts that were rubbing on the bar. Another...

    Budd Central Vacuums

    It's just extra unnecessary heat, another aspect of running pipes down is it sometimes harder for items like say a BB to make it up to the machine
