    Rare early 1990s Self Propelled Eureka (Precision)

    I found one of these a few years ago at a thrift store - the transmission is out but it was too flawless to pass up!

    Bissell PowerGroom height adjustment wheels

    Looking for the height adjustment wheel assembly for this Bissell PowerGroom - would anyone happen to have a Bissell/Singer/Ryobi parts machine that you can snag this part off of? I've looked everywhere online and I'm not able to find anything. Thanks in advance!

    Help! Rainbow e2 Gold leaking water

    I had an E2 black a few years ago that had this issue. I contacted my local distributor / repairman who couldn't even figure it out and he ended up replacing the entire motor assembly under warranty. If I remember correctly, it might have had something to do with the motor not spinning fast enough?

    Electrolux 2101 Polisher - Info?

    Does anyone have any info on this guy? From what I've gathered through the archives this was a Canadian model sold in the US for a short time in the 80s, but that's all I'm able to find on it. Unfortunately most of the scrub brushes are worn and will no longer clip in correctly, and I'm also...

    A recent thrift store find

    Love the SpinWave! I found mine brand new at a thrift store last year and I use it at least twice a week. I'm with you on mopping; and I'm not a fan of Swiffers either. The SpinWave gets the job done and it's actually pretty relaxing to use, I even bought both of my parents one last Christmas...

    Royal 231, mostly (Stark branded)

    Thank you for clarifying on the tool caddy! That's interesting that they didn't include it permanently on the later models. My 231 is from 1985, and my matching 401 Pony is from 1981. It's actually a nightmare using the power nozzle with the 231. Since the hose doesn't swivel 360 around the top...

    Royal 231, mostly (Stark branded)

    Love mine! I had been after one of these for probably ten years before one finally popped up on Marketplace, I don't know why these weren't more popular? Question- Does yours have the tool caddy attached to the machine, instead of the original larger casters? Mine had come with the separate...

    Need Help Installing Oreck "Endurolife" Serpentine Belt

    Question Was the motor an exact fit to the molding of model you were swapping it into? I've been wanting to upgrade a classic style Oreck with the newer motor, brushroll, and belt but didn't know if the motor would fit!

    Progress Mercedes 389

    Got one too! Interesting that yours has the label on the bag, and a white cord! Agreed on the handle, I couldn’t see this lasting long in normal conditions at all. Surprisingly powerful though!

    Some vacuums for sale locally

    Last up, Hoover SteamVac Max Extract carpet shampooer. I found this one NIB in January and only used it once on a clean rug in my living room. I believe I have the manual and original detergent bottles laying around for it as well. Unfortunately I no longer have the box as it was pretty beat up...
