Don't waste good microfiber towels polishing aluminum, they will be trashed. Find an old cotton towel and cut it up into rag sized pieces. Use that and then dispose of them after. You will never get the stains out, and it will get all over the inside of your washer.

Alrighty then.... Didn't know I was wrong in posting my opinion! I'm not going to apologize though, I've been a member here for far longer than you have and have never before been accused of "trolling"!

Nice job on the clutch, I've not changed the clutch itself, but I have changed the belt on a dc14, which requires all the same steps as replacing the clutch. Yes it was a major pain, but I was able to do it without the special tool. $27 for a filter?!?! Next time order that off eBay as well, I...

I think the Shark you posted would be fine, even though they do have filters they have excellent suction and any I've used have also been very quiet.

I'd say either the Bissell Cleanview mentioned above (I've had experience with that version, and it seemed like a solid, good performing machine, and also surprisingly quiet) or a Shark navigator (one of the lower end models, not the $300 powered lift away)

Those are so simple, very similar to an elite for opening up. There is 4 clips/tabs on the corners of the hood, one at each corner. I believe the front ones are at the sides of the brushroll housing, the back ones behind the wheels. The hood should then pop off. There is either 2 or 4 screws...

It actually seems like a good idea, however I'd never use their shampoo, it seems like it would be loaded with harsh chemicals. I'm sure some dogs would love it (friends of ours have a black lab/pitbull mix that loves to be vacuumed, if you're vacuuming she will follow you around until she gets...

A few years ago I had two of them and combined parts that weren't broken to make one decent one, and it worked ok for what it was, groomed our thick carpet great, but was super easy to push and did great on flat carpet, so I took it to our church where I was the custodian- it did awesome until I...

I had one of those and it did a fantastic job on home carpet, provided it was kept cleaned out. Fairly quiet, lightweight, powerful. As I recall, it did a better job and seemed more solidly built than the Empower. I recently sold it to my Grandpa's church (fairly small church) and I haven't...

Every dc25 I've ever used or owned (I've had two and hated them) has done that, it's definitely the seal on the filter. I found if you heat the seal with a hair dryer, then try to push it back into shape, then let it cool down, it seems to help. I think the dc25's are pretty poor vacuums to be...

As far as I know it is exactly the same machine as the normal red ones, maybe the 500 series was made for a specific retailer or maybe a longer warranty?

I was born in September of 1992, so G3... Not my favorite Kirby unfortunately. Favorites are the G5 and Sentria II.

Could very well be the cord, I had one on a G4 that looked totally fine but the juice went in one end and didn't come out the other! I personally have never seen a Kirby with a bad motor, they are very reliable.

Actually for what they cost, those aren't horrid vacuums- I picked one out of the trash that had nothing wrong with it, just a bit dirty, and gave it to my Grandma. She needed a really light vacuum and she loves it. Surprisingly powerful, and I didn't think it was terribly loud. Filtration...

I say $35 or so- it could be as simple as the fan or maybe the power switch, or it could actually be the motor. I used to live about 15 minutes from where it's located!

Looks like I got the evil twin to yours, mine was free and in perfect mechanical condition aside from needing a new belt (even clean inside and the brush roll is like new!) But must have been stored where some type of cleaning chemicals were stored (came from a daycare/preschool with 4 other...

Let me take a look, I'm almost 100% sure I have the parts you're looking for, if not the wand holders, for sure the front wheels. I have an orange one that's parts only, really beat up and no motor, but if you need any other parts, just ask, I might have them.

Hopefully they will be as good as the older version, they may just be cheap vacuums but I've had and sold MANY over the years. They are actually pretty solid machines, not too heavy or noisy and excellent performance from a Walmart vacuum. I'll guess I've had 20 or 25 pass through and have only...

I have two lower end models, and though they run good, both run hot. No smell or anything to think something is wrong, but lots of heat. One runs better than the other (think the fan is unbalanced on one so it's rather noisy, even though I've taken it out and cleaned every speck of dust out) but...

Where are you in Michigan? I have a G3 you could have for $25 or so. It works fine, I did repair the emptor with some heavy duty plastic epoxy, but it seems to be holding strong. Otherwise it's in pretty good condition. I also have many more vacs I'd give you deals on, just want them gone. You...
