Another suggestion would be to buy a Cleveland Wood Products brushroll off of eBay. You can sometimes get them for under $20 w/ shipping. I have three convertibles, two very similar to yours, with CWP brushrolls and they run very smoothly. You will just have to get used to a runaway vacuum cleaner!

When I ran into this dilemma, I brought the bag to a seamstress/fabric worker to have it repaired. I would suggest you do the same, but make sure you bring the zipper slider with you! Hope this helps!

As far as I know . . . . . . there should be a curved metal washer that is placed down in the center hole of each end cap. The bearing (if you have the original bearing) sits on top of that washer. The washer serves as that "spring" because there is a small triangular clip that holds the...

In addition, Convertibles usually need to be set to "low" for best results on a low pile carpet.

You are making a mistake if . . . . . . you are using aftermarket (not genuine) Hoover belts. I am not saying that the latest belts are faulty, just different from the previous manufacturing. I had a similar experience when the eBay seller who sold me three CWP brushrolls included three belts...

I just ordered three of these last month . . . . . . and I am happy with them. I ordered them on eBay for $13.50 and installed them on three different convertibles, including a mid-70's metal based Convertible with a high-performance 4.7 amp motor and two 1980's plastic Convertibles. They do...

It seems as though the latest OEM Hoover Convertible belt is slightly different from the previous rendition. Have any other Hoover collectors noticed this, or would you suspect a design flaw? I purchased some more belts from the vacuum cleaner store I have always bought my belts from. The...
