@vacuumdevil I haven't seen any of the newer ones, but looking up part numbers on the modern one, the machine looks the same inside and motor(P/N: H-43517406) looks essentially the same as on my ancient model(U7069). Same housing shape, same brush holders, etc. What exactly is failing on...

Did some searching.. Looks like this company has the correct one still in stock. http://www.bettervac.com/Dirt-Devil-520125-12-Brushroll?cat=227

Tell them to get a Hoover Conquest, if someone manages to destroy it in short order I will be very surprised. They're practically indestructible, not as good as the far older model 918/913/91, but very close and far less maintenance, belts should last a while, fans won't break as easily. I just...

Sanitaire motors "I can tell you from all that years in the industry I've rarely seen them come apart like that. Usually the bearing comes off with a stamp sheet metal top." @vacuumdevil That is rubbish! They NEVER come off with the stamp steel top. No way you're getting them off with...

Eureka was at one time its own independent company(Eureka-Williams Co.) and then was bought by WCI(White Consolidated Industries - a descendent of the White sewing machine company and the White Motor car company) which later in 1986 was bought by Swedish Electrolux. In the last few years...

Apparently even Electrolux knew that consumers associated loudness with power back in the 1960s, because they designed the 1205 with less noise insulating capabilities than preceding models because of that fact. I still think it was a capable cleaner, and in fact far better than what most other...

I work in a shop, they come in all day long, only about 50% we can fix. On many models, NOTHING is available in the way of replacement parts. The engineers over at Shark even figured out how to make the brushroll motor overload protection circuitry a big mess, instead of a simple circuit breaker...

The dealer where I work part time says ESSCO(the general supplier) is out and won't have any more in as Hoover is giving it the axe. End of an era, if you ask me, one of the last pre-TTI cleaners they still offered, one of the few cleaners of good quality, too.

I just junked a machine like this, I paid $7 for it a a garage sale not knowing that the outer bag was full of dust as someone couldn't figure out how to change the bag, they had a new bag in it, just never shoved it on the tube. The brush strips were all but gone and power drive didn't work. If...

Forgot the number, I'm stupid! 1+(586)-980-2643

Chad I tried replying to your e-mail a few times, and haven't heard anything back. No doubt a failure of technology. In short, I will take it. Here is my cell number, you are best to text as the earpiece doesn't work right. -Richard

Get a Sanitaire Mighty Mite, good power, usability, durability and low cost.

Shark is absolute rubbish Absolutely no parts support, if it craps out a day out of the replacement warranty, you're screwed, unless the vac shop has a bunch of junked trade-ins to steal parts off of. I do concede that they clean surprisingly well, though, but the center of gravity being as...

My e-mail is [email protected] I don't want to bother you this late tonight and as such I will call tomorrow.

Hello?

Vac Shop Wackiness... Recently I started working at a local shop and I see all kinds of craziness, the most typical thing is someone wanting a bag/filter/belt and not knowing the type or even brand or color for that matter.

Message system Sorry, I'm not an upgraded member here, only on AutomaticWasher.org, but after you get back home I'd like to see some pictures. Enjoy your trip!

I'm hoping to acquire one of those overbuilt Hoover Commercial cleaners produced from the 1940s to the late 1980s early 1990s. Condition is no object, I can restore it if nessasary. If anyone is interested in selling one, E-mail me and reply to this thread. -Richard [email protected]

Thanks for the reminder... ...of why I haven't logged in to VL in a while and hardly post here anymore.
