    Happy Friday — Which of your machines have you enjoyed running today?

    Today's driver Picked this 2090A up from a local auction today and she works fantastic! Glad I grabbed the brand new tool set from Savers a couple years ago. Actually does really well on the bare floors with a Mighty Mite floor brush

    Happy Friday — Which of your machines have you enjoyed running today?

    The daily driver Has been a Bissell PowerForce bagged, but today I ran my Kenmore Magic Blue with a TK286 turbo brush. Does just fine!

    Looking for information about Kenmore Elite uprights

    It's actually Very easy. I used a section of hose from a Hoover cordless upright on mine, it has a lot more slack on it so it'll probably hold up longer. All you have to do is push the tabs out from where the hose goes into the neck of the power head, then unscrew it from the base of the head...

    Looking for information about Kenmore Elite uprights

    Mark It definitely does! There's a robust gasket on the bag collar and it seals over the inlet very securely. You may get a tiny little bit of dust that can fall off of the inlet when you remove the bag, but it don't leak. Even after the heavy clean at my dad's the bag chamber was spotless! Far...

    Looking for information about Kenmore Elite uprights

    I am enjoying My new Intuition upright, I wasn't sure if I'd keep it but ended up putting it through its paces cleaning my dad's house. He hadn't vacuumed in a while and when I tell you I was blown away 🤣 the bag fill indicator light is too cool and the lift off feature was great for getting...

    Looking for information about Kenmore Elite uprights

    In spite of The newer models not being built as well, the direct drive concept is still kinda neat. I found a drive motor and gearbox for the old purple Progressive, what a monster 😂 the motor is rated at 170V DC with a planetary transmission. The old ones had a ridiculous amount of torque and...

    Electrolux power nozzle motor for sale

    Anybody in need of a motor for a Lux power nozzle? This came from a PN-6 but will probably fit other models. Ran fine last time I used it! Hit me up!

    repair Rainbow D4c electric vacuum hose

    Oh! If it's not internally wired If you're not very concerned about appearances, you can honestly wrap that damaged spot in electrical tape. I've done it to multiple machines to either hold connectors in place, or to patch damage. If you end up wanting to replace the hose, fortunately they are...

    Forgotten Eureka Products

    Don't forget the overbuilt behemoth... The Excalibur 😆 I found mine at a garage sale, I think I paid $15? I didn't care how much it was but I knew I had to have it! After servicing both motors, and making custom HEPA bags, it runs fantastic. Seems to clean wonderfully too. It's tall, heavy, and...

    Windsor Versamatic VSE 1-3

    I had a Versamatic! I got it on a rebuild from the local vacuum shop, I think it may have been from the '90s or 2000s. It was super quiet, seemed to perform very well, but it was like pushing a bookshelf most days 😂 very heavy and worked best being pushed in a straight line. The brush motor was...

    Rainbow E Series water evaporation

    I meant it as How quickly does the water evaporate during regular use between the 2 models. It's very dry here so anything with moving water dries out fairly quick, be it our fish tanks or the Rainbow 😂 I will hang into the 4 quart for heavy cleans, and use the 2.5s for regular use. It seems...

    Kirby Heritage-HII-Legend 2 armature and fan

    Digging through a box of parts, any of y'all in need of this armature? It's in good shape from what I can see! Commutator looks good. I have a fan, shaft, and spacer too. Hit me up!

    Are these rare or? Dirt Devil Pro Series 2 speed hand vacuum

    I may take The motor out eventually to check it out. I should have a spare fan somewhere? Just gonna run it til the bag is full and I'll give it a spa treatment

    Are these rare or? Dirt Devil Pro Series 2 speed hand vacuum

    Ben- It is indeed a 533. Picked up a newer brush roll today and put the old one into my 103 with a seized brush. Runs great now! It's very noisy on high speed so I'm wondering if the fan isn't chipped, maybe these models were just a bit more "opinionated" with the larger motor. Almost...

    Rainbow E Series water evaporation

    Hey y'all, I was gifted a 4 quart basin for my 2 E Series machines, and I can't decide which one to keep it on. I can swap it out as needed, but which model goes through water faster? The E Gold One speed or the E2 Silver? I'd like a bit more leeway with whichever one evaporates the water off...

    Are these rare or? Dirt Devil Pro Series 2 speed hand vacuum

    Oh sweet! I had a really pretty teal 2 speed years ago too, not sure what happened to it 😂 I'm glad I still had a couple of G bags, after a wipe down the Pro Series runs just fine! Has a lot more power than the 103s and inhales cat hair. I'm still very partial to my Panasonic Jet Flo hand vac...

    Price check? Singer Twin Fan brush roll

    Sorting through a huge box of parts and came across this brush roll. What is it worth? It's still in halfway good shape and spins smooth. I don't want to ask too much but if it's worth good money that'd be amazing!

    Are these rare or? Dirt Devil Pro Series 2 speed hand vacuum

    I finally got around to lugging a tote and a few boxes of parts and stuff home from my dad's today, and I forgot that I had this machine! It's in great shape and still runs really well, sounds like it could use a new brush roll though. Somebody mentioned that the Pro Series badged DDs are...

    Forgotten Bissell Products

    Maybe not forgotten But these machines don't get the credit they deserve. The ever famous PowerForce. Of course the older models were built better with higher quality motors and materials, but the simple fact that they kept this style going for so long just proves how well they did sell! For...
