Well said, Louis. I neglected to mention SAE 30 motor (machine) oil, which, if you do your own snow-blower/lawn mower, boat engine, car maintenance, you will have lots of on hand in 1 liter bottles. Dave

Bill, you want to careful with 3 in 1. It comes in several formulations and can colors. The one you want to use is 3-in-1 ELECTRIC MOTOR OIL. It will say so on the label. It has the prooerties to remain and lubricate the bearings under high speed temperatures and will not glaze. Do NOT use...

easy to break down for maintenance, the premalite has a round pleated washble after motor hepa filter in the base under the dust jug. It collapses flat to the floor for maximum penetration under furniture.

Something notably sensible is the direct central airflow & debris path from brushroll to wand to dust chamber, the blinding 6 bulb LED lighting mounted low on the head, and transparent easy access bottom plate - held by clips rather than screws - to clean out the brushroll. Is there really a...

I'm not one for new modern plastic bagless vacuums generally but I have a few examples that speak to me of superior or uniquely wacky design that lifts them above the ugly dime-a-dozen chinavacs on display at Big Box stores and national chains, so awkwardly styled and garishly coloured you have...

Sounds like the bearings are drying out and the run-down squeal comes from the old oil glazing on the axle. Needs a shot of proper machine oil and that should quiet 'er down. If the motor squeals when running at full speed then you are looking at total bearing replacement. Don't let a shop...

You will enjoy reading this current thread in Off topic that will answer many Connie questions. Enjoy and prosper, Christopher ... Dave http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?19455_12

This week and for months to come, the blue Royal 4600 Pony Power Tank cylinder with the extra long cord & crushproof electric hose & and PN and on board tool selection. Hampered as I am by my recent surgery this is the ideal vacuum usable by myself (light jobs) and visitors I can cajole into...

Wow Eric. I have the 28, tool caddy card and all its accessories and a damaged box and no manual. I would love to have a scan of the manual pages if that's not a bother. If you set your picture size to 1000 pixels wide or wider it will post max size here on the thread for printing. Or email me...

As uprights became heavier and carpets plusher, power drive was the answer. Several companies had power drive options but in my experience, Hoover got it right. Properly adjusted and tweaked to original specifications, the Concepts actually aids you in vacuuming maneuverability, rather than tug...

Brian, The Carousel of Progress was moved back to Anaheim Disneyland after the fair, where is was still running when I was there in 2002 as part of the revamped Tomorrowland. Perhaps it still is? Dave http://www.yesterland.com/progress.html

* because it IS an effing iphone. * :-) Other iphone users will have to chime in here. But seriously Brad, I do not and would not have an iphone; my cellphone is a Blackberry and I use extensively my Blackberry Playbook 64 GB tablet. Both can shoot pictures and HD video. Video shot with either...

Alex, the SVX is black pearl with an all leather tan/sand interior. In sunlight there is a metallic undertone of ruby red that shimmers but does not turn the car red. Premium factory 3 stage process that all SVXs had regardless of colors. In 1997 this was a CN$42,000 car. Back then the Canadian...

Alex, you were already high on my list of fellers I know I'd enjoy meeting in person and having a vacuum gabfest with but now you're shot up even higher in my admiration. You drive and have a SUBARU! Woo-hoo. I'm on my 3 & 4th ones. Since the day I got my first one used years back I've been...

well stated Tayab and thank you for opening the door... Gotta comment. If you gather together most of what jmurray posts you realize he is a lad unfortunately plagued with an uncontrollable urge to qualify his opinions in a cloak of despair and negativity, even when he likes something. There...

It ain't oil...it's silicon based dispersant that attracts dust as the alcohol carrier base evaporates. There are similar cautions over the chemical makeup of regular household 3-in-1 compared to Machine and motor oil 3-in-1. Besides the formula difference the cans are labeled in blue or red. Dave

Yippee. Wash the rubber bumper in hot water & dish soap to thoroughly clean out the schmutz and let it dry thoroughly before reassembly. Use a toothbrush to get deep into the groove channels. Mr Clean Magic Eraser will rub off any stubborn scuffs and baseboard paint transfer. Never reassemble a...

The years of accumulated schmutz you cleaned off the cord travels over time inside the cordwinder under suction, collects on the pawls on the spring hub that flings the pawls outward to engage the hub stops. If those get stuck in the open position the cord does not lock up. Without dismantling...

It's entirely possible that the power head motor is supplied with lower voltage DC voltage to avoid a shock hazard if liquid was accidentally ingested. In which case reversed wires would definitely cause the motor to run in reverse. Does it use a belt or gear drive? Dave
