Seeing that no matter what method of retraction your cleaner utilizes there is a spring of some sort in there, I let the cords retract at whatever speed the spring rewinds the wheel, as not to put unnecessary pressure or whatnot on the spring. I generally start by holding the plug and then allow...

you mean to say there are absolutely no bags sold for the mice anymore? Guess I'm sol if when my bag fills up.

I need to find the proper light bulb and belt for a Bison. Any leads?

I might be strange for saying/doing this, but my house is all floors and I have 3 large rugs; one in the living room, kitchen and mud room. and what I do is once or twice a week swiffer or sweep everything onto the living and mud room rugs and then vacuum the rugs every other week.Then monthly I...

That is the epitome of cool to have almost every gadget offered with the Bison...Seeing this post also enlightened me as to what kind of light bulb the Bison takes. Now does anyone know where I can find them?

vintagevaclover and vacuumssuck213; If it has all or at least the original crevice and or dusting brush and runs like it should, I would value something like the Plus at $20. Now as a collector I personally would drop a couple bucks from that to help with shipping costs. Also, The plus goes...

I beg to differ, I have a kenmore pn from a late 90's TOL model that has the 4 red, yellow/orange and green dirt sensor lights. 3 brush strip roller...The finest kenmore nozzle I have!

from what I have observed, the one is quieter and all bristle, more agressive in a different way compared to the 2. Despite popular opinion, I tested a sanitaire with a vgI and I prefer the II. Sounds beefier and beats the carpet just how I like it

I have the same machine, metal bag clip is completely stuck to the bag from years of dirt build-up. Any ideas on how to get it off to clean the bag out??

I find it hard to put myself in that position, because I've always had the eyes of a collector...that said I feel I would be willing to pay more for a vacuum as a consumer.As a collector, if I don't like it and it isn't cheap (price, not quality) I'll pass on it, but if I only owned one vacuum...

thanks for the info and clarifications! I have never seen the mark II or III. Only the Centurions. And up until recently I didn't even know those came in more than one color. I love having this machine but hate knowing its a dog eat dog market to get parts or attachments for it. BTW, does the...

I have never been able to find sufficient information to get the whole story on the Bison cleaners. Wondering if someone can give me the spiel. I know the Bison was designed by a disgruntled Kirby employee who did everything he could to copy the Kirby without infringing copyrights and changing a...

I have a very old shake-out bag that the bag clip has been on so long it won't come off from crud build-up. How can I safely get it off to clean the bag out?

Thanks Jimmy! Let me know if you find the two-prong hose for the powermax along with the proper PowerMax pn and 1 or 2 power nozzle wand sets.Also, the base housing on the spectrum pn you gave me is busted up beyond any repair, so if you have can find the powermax pn and any other compatible...

Absolutely not Even with a brand-new brushroll you have a better shot of finding one local cheaper. In my opinion the supreme having been out for over 10 years now no matter the condition the resale value has depreciated substantially. I hate the sound of these, and the hose...

I am looking for 1 or 2 wand sets for the Hoover pn's that had the Hoover snap in attachments. Also looking for a red rear wheel and black switch cover for a Spectrum and a powermax canister and a quadraflex pn, or at least the base/housing of.

I need the base for a hoover quadraflex powernozzle. Sold with dimension, spectrum, powermax and I think the high-end futura canisters too. a parts pn from either machine would work too, all I'd have to do is put my hood on.

Jimmy's right... There are too many vacuums there that need to be saved and yes I can really pack lots of vacuums in small cars. I wish I could come back in time but I was stretching my money to go the first time and in addition a larger vehicle and more time would be more efficient for saving...

The spectrum 900 shares the same awkwardly shaped 3-prong pn plug as the original windtunnel canister, and some other canisters of the 90's time frame I believe. I know on the windtunnel, the 3rd wire controls the headlight, but I heard that in the older 3-prong hoover hoses the 3rd prong is...

Can you tell me, is the nozzle supposed to have some play between it and the base/motor? I just got one and took the nozzle off to inspect everything and when I put it back on it had what I would justify as considerable play at the cheap locking ring holding the nozzle to the motor, and I can't...
