I can verify Kirby NEVER used General Electric motors, in any of their models. Bison did, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

It is 4 amps Actually 😂 The 1CR used the 562/D50 motor to begin with, but due to the larger brush roll a lot of them burned out due to the excessive drag on the motor. Bearings failed and armatures went up in smoke. So, as long as the motor in your 1CR is original, it is 4 amps. Oftentimes...

Gross 😕 As I stated earlier, there is a lot I could say, but why be unnecessarily nasty? That's unfortunate

Now I MUST know What did Rob say that got taken down? 😂😂

Whoops! Oh I absolutely don't believe a word he says either. He's been called out before and that always goes so well 🤣

I can't 😂 I had my run in with Mr Frisco years ago, and he is notorious 🤣🤣 just reading through some of his responses is making me feel sick. I really hate people who bash on everyone who can't afford to drop hundreds of thousands of dollars on a collection, and essentially say people who get...

So I misspoke It appears as though the hose is pretty stiff, and the dusting brush is pretty worn out. I believe there may be a wand missing but I'm not 100 percent certain. At this point it may only be a collector's item 😂

Hey y'all! Stumbled across this tool set while cleaning out the closet, any of you need or want them? Not sure what they're worth, maybe big dollars? They're in fantastic shape too 😆 Let me know! Shipping shouldn't be bad... Pics to follow

So far It's the perfect thing for a quick zing around the house. All the Dyson performance in a small package 😂 I just like to mess with cheap stuff from time to time, it's a good diversion when I'm not in the best mood. Worst case scenario it breaks and I'm only a few bucks into it for...

Hey y'all! Just wanted to share today's find, it was a freebie! Lower hose was clogged and it needed some cleaning but I'm very pleased. I know some don't love Dyson but I don't hate them. Coming from a monster of a DC15 this is great for our small apartment. They've refined the diverters and...

You're 13? You should be upgraded to the Junior membership! 😄

The Hoover shop vacuum! I found one last year on Marketplace and should have snagged it. That two tank idea is brilliant and I was able to track down replacement filters for it online. Anyone have any experience with these? Picture borrowed from another thread on here

I stumbled across A couple of those stock exhaust filters, and I love them. One is in my E and the other is in the z88. Makes them very quiet and with hepa bags the motor stays cool.

Broomvac I believe that was a European or British model? I don't remember seeing them here but they definitely turn up so evidently they were introduced to our market at some point. If I remember right the local shop owner said they were halfway decent! Not the best quality but I wouldn't pass...

She is complete! Aside from a missing crevice tool but that's a trifle. Running much quieter and softer with the proper exhaust filter in place. Honestly might be a bit quieter than my fiance's new self propelled model.... I love it! Very happy to have given it a home

Did that person Just outright ignore you? I'm so sorry 😕 I hope somebody dependable comes through with what you're looking for!

I should do a Decibel reading on my favorite machines, now I'm curious. My hot rod Sanitaire clocked in at 88 dB with a freshly shaken out bag, not surprised though. The original motor was a 3.5 amp and I swapped it for a 7 or 7.5 😆 The Rainbow D3C was 63 dB, not surprised on that either...

That's awesome 😂 I remember hearing that Dirt Devil got in trouble too for making some of theirs loud too. I don't mind it too terribly much, but compared to the Twin Energy, damn 😂

Any chance I can get In on the action? I'd love to find a hose and tools for my Kirby Legend II 😎 not sure if you have any Kirby stuff but I figured I'd ask ya

Today's thrift find! She was a project, took a few hours to get everything cleaned up and looking better. Had to grease the brush roll bearings, luckily they're the same style I've seen in Convertibles. Got everything put back together, and rigged up a temporary belt and bag, good lord 🤣 I had a...
