I always have used OEM, however with that said. I buy Electrolux Germgrabber or Surething Bags NOS on Ebay. When I switched, they changed from their "original 4 ply" to "better than the original 4 ply bags" I say no way!!!!!I called Aerus when they first came out and sent them a used one to...

You can still find genuine Eureka/Sanitaire Bags and Belts on Ebay. They even have the premium filtration bags, which are even better.   PR-21 Bud

Sebo makes an electric brush for scrubbing in their Duo P dry powder. It is listed on their website.     PR-21 Bud

I have an Electrolux Floor Pro and it will shampoo, polish, scrub, etc. You can get supplies on the Aerus website or from Kirbyneeds Ebay.....Kent Oyler is great to deal with and ships fast. For the paste wax, I use Howards. You can find it on Amazon.     Sincerely,   Bud Mattingly...

I have a Scoettler Air Storm that I bought 10 or so years ago. Just used it today, it has  the Sebo power nozzle with the long replaceable brush strip. It uses the stormy bags, which I buy whenever I can find them. I know the Tri Star bags will fit when I run out and I have extra brush...

Kirby makes a great horsehair dusting brush. Soft rubber so it should not scratch. I use it on all my 1 1/4 inch vacuums. The flip over tool Tom was talking about is also very good. I use it on  my pleated draperies, then follow up with a hand held steamer......     PR-21 Bud

I sent my Kirby 505 into Kirby for a rebuild, but was told it would come back in tan trim. They also put a  belt lifter on instead of the cap...I kept the original bag......before I sent it in.     PR-21 Bud

I bought a perfect c10?.(Metal one) Had way too much suction for above floor cleaning with attachments and  also with the hard surface tool for floors. They both stuck to whatever surface you were cleaning. It felt like a tug of war just to clean......I also missed the automatic control dial...

I have an early model as well. My bag light will come on when you need to change the bag, but it does not shut off automatically. I understand they fixed this a little later on in production, so that it would shut off the motor and light the bag change indicator.     I only used mine a...

I have a model 29, I bought from someone on this forum. It is my favorite vintage machine. I  found a DVC brand shake out replacement bag NOS. My mom's girlfriend bought one new, when she got married. She had it serviced regularly and  was still going strong when she passed away. Her...

Be sure when you buy DVC Bags that they actually say 4 ply. Some sellars are selling a two ply bag instead of 4 ply DVC. I also think the 4 ply DVC bags are better than the Home Solutions. If you want  genuine 4 ply Electrolux Bags, try Ebay. You can find brand new old stock Germgrabber or...

Hi Brian,   Yes, I have the full size power nozzle with led lights on mine. Works great. I use this vacuum mostly for in between full house cleanings. The bags are on the small size, but I don't have pets, so it isn't a  problems for me.   PR-21 Bud

Hi,   I have the Miele Stick Vac. It does stand up by itself if you use the full size Miele canister power nozzle  with it.   Sincerely,     PR-21 Bud M

When I buy a used vintage vacuum, the first thing I do is use the Clorox or Lysol wipes on the base, handle, wheels, cord. I also use qtips dipped in Lysol to detail the spokes of the wheels and any part that is hard to get into. Then I wipe the whole unit down with a micro fiber towel...

If you search on Ebay for Kirby Classic headlight trim, you will find the trim. Yours is missing the nub to hold it in place.  The sellar has the one for the 1cr and also the rosewood model. It is like 3.99 plus 3 something for shipping.     PR-21 Bud

The height adjustment is on the rear wheel axle. You just move the bar up or down.....   PR-21 Bud

I have both and prefer my D4 SEPE.  I find it easier to clean and put away, however the power nozzle on the E2 series with the side edge cleaners is a better power nozzle. It lays flat to the floor and gets under my low bed with ease. The D4 SEPE tilts 3/4 of the way under the bed and I...

I have several vintage machines that I think clean as well if not better than newer ones. Hoover Model 29 Hoover Model 63 Hoover Model 70 A few newer Hoover Convertibles from the Hoover Vault in Canton Ohio   The 29 and 63 have shake out bags. I don't let the bags get very full and...

You can still find the floor polisher kits that can also be used as a carpet fluffer or you could buy a new floor polisher brush that will fit any G or Sentria series and use it with the shampoo  nozzle. I just used mine on my Kirby Avalir, last week. You do have to be careful not to damage...
