I've done some experiments... So today was the first day I had to really check the Constellation out. What I did was I took it back apart, took the top of the motor off, checked the fan which was completely clean, no obstructions.I then put it back together, and ran the vacuum without the...

Alright, I have tried the sanding... It has done nothing. I am almost thinking it's something with the motor as it warms up, which is strange because other then the shaking, the thing runs smooth as silk, and has good suction. I am quite honestly baffled. I have had a couple Constellations in...

VacuumLad... How much did you have to sand on the bottom of your Connie?

I opened the cleaner up earlier, and everything looked good on the inside. I tried an experiment with the cleaner earlier as well. I turned it on, and waited for it to start shaking itself again. Once I did that, I put my hand over the hose, and the second I did that, it stopped shaking. Also, I...

Hi all, I just bought a Hoover Constellation Model 85, and I love the thing. The only thing not original is the hose. Has it's original floor nozzle too. But it has this odd quirk, and I am trying to figure what is causing it. When I first turn it on, and run it for a few seconds, it starts...

I've had a pleasant experience with this model so far. Bought it as a cheap little thing to use around the house. $49.99 at Walmart. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Eureka-PowerSpeed-Lightweight-Upright-Vacuum-NEU180/836563202

Hi everyone, Long story short, I am shopping for a new steam cleaner for my mother. Her two year old Bissell died, and with the budget she has, she is looking at a Hoover unit. Now, I was telling her to get a new SpinScrub (now PowerScrub) unit. I thought those were pretty decent for what they...

Update... So I thought I'd give an update to the bulb challenge. I was perusing Menards again, and they had a 25 watt LED bayonet bulb on the rack. I had a 15% off bag, so I figured I would try it. It's a Meridian brand, and is rated at pulling 3 watts, but is equivalent to 25 watts. Good for...

So I ended up finding a regular bulb. Where I am at, Menards and Lowe's did not have the round contacts, but my local Ace Hardware did. So I picked one up. I have a few questions though I hope you guys can clear up: 1) So in regards to the contacts on the bulb, does it matter whether it's the...

Lesinutah Could you please post links to the good LED's you've had experience with? I'd be interested in putting an LED in it.

I'll look on their website, but the bayonet base that they were selling was not the circular base that I have, it was more of an oval base.

Hi all, hope you can help. I just got this Convertible, model U4109, and the bulb is blown. What kind of bulb is this? All the stores around me have the bulb, but it's a bayonet base. Thanks in advance. Alex

Goodwill If there is any blame to lay on the Goodwill organization, it is more than likely with the regional offices. For instance, the Goodwills near me are under the umbrella of "Goodwill of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan". I believe the ones downstate where my parents are, aka "Goodwill of...

Goodwill I have been noticing lately that Goodwill in my area is really going downhill. The housewares section is extremely sparse, and it's almost like they are just selling out of anything. The one an hour away is the same way. Lately they have also been upping their prices on things, stopped...

Pictures Here's some pictures of the machine in question

Concept One Just to clarify a couple things Yes, the Concept was an American series, but they were offered for a brief time in the UK with 240v as a stopgap before the Turbomasters came out. They are not very common there though, and I believe they only sold one version there, and only for a...

Mine does. In each of the barbers booths, they have one of those handheld Shop Vacs, and they will use it to suck any loose hairs off of the person who just got their hair cut. For the floor, I think they will still use a broom though.

Yes I have actually, and I even used one. My parents bought one brand new in I think 2005? Dyson DC07 Animal. They were pretty popular here in the States.

Hi all, A couple months ago, I picked up a Concept One from a local vac shop. It's what I believe a model U3311. It has a rust brown colored hood, with the cord rewind and Power Drive. Does anyone know anything about these models, like about how old it is, or whether it's a common or uncommon...
