"That SEBO well outlive any of the Vacuums in your picture. " thats a serious stretch of the imagination!!

I'm not at home for 2 days so I can't check some of things that were offered to me on this issue. I do know the paper bag was basically new and the cardboard was rigid. The motor doesn't sound bad at all on the wind down either. I thought of a seal being the issue since you can see the photos I...

attachments I did not get any attachments...just the PN and hose, I used another, I think, Electrolux or someother brand, non powered wand and hooked up a floor tool to is. I ordered a new factory style dust/upholstery brush so I didn't have to pull out my Kirby attachments for it.

thanks all I did the test Jon suggested, there wasn't a difference on airflow from the housing opening and the hose end. But, that is with me pushing the housing lid close manually. The photos show there is a slight opening/not sealing.....is this a common problem? Easy remedy? That gap seems...

Does anyone have one of these ? if you do and don't use it, I'm looking for one. I just saw this in my owners manual , never knew they made this. I looked on ebay but found nothing. thoughts?

My first memory of our family vacuum cleaner was a 1205 Electrolux but I don't remember much after that ( curiously odd to my mind, that fact). My friend, who've I've referenced many times here is a vacuum technician since the 1970's with emphasis on Kirby's as well. He closed his doors this...

I appreciate this thread as I was planning on asking you all about quality C type bags. I wondered if any were made in cloth Hepa type/manner because those type keep the airflow so much longer than the paper bags even with filtrating layers inside the paper. Does anyone know of any?

I'm beginning to think some generic floor tools are better than the 'older' ones on some of our machines. I just picked up my first Electrolux (G) it is missing the floor tool as well as the dusting brush ( which I want to get an original style one) so I used my Rainbow tool with it and it...

madmen now THAT comment was funny!!!!!

rainbow breaking? I was surprised to hear of your Rainbow parts breaking...having only bought in 2017! I've had mine ,new, since 2012 and nothing has broken. I like it a good deal....but its not the most convienant canister...having to fill and empty the water even if you only needed a 'quick...

Hmc1981 Nice machine, I'm envious!

I have both shampooer's too as the OP. I haven't noticed any extra 'sudsing' in my aqua-mate when I had previously used my Kirby shampooer, I"ll watch more closely next time. I like them both....but with really soiled areas/spills, I pretreat, but I'd use the aqua-mate (extraction). Kirby's...

ha, okay, so Les, anyone who has a Rainbow or was a seller/dealer for them is not to be trusted on Rainbow hepa bag advice??? then who is trustworthy on Rainbows? people who DONT own one or use one?

I like that you have a car collection! haha, so I"m not the only one! :-P. I"M a fan of your e34 wagon too. Nice 'collection' your acquired there, some real nice Electrolux's and Hoovers!!!

bikerray Love your ingenuity used on your old classic vac you've got there! I plan on doing the same for my Airway Sanitation System and Hoover 61 inner bag (Hepa conversion is my plan)

strong evidence I'd say!!!!!!

sweet to hear that you got great condition attachments. I don't know why, but I really like getting them with a vacuum acquisition. Impressive.....to read what it picked up after the Miele

I don't notice ANY particulates editing from my FQ....so I'd be shocked if someone is having reactions using it as long as the cone is in good shape, the cotton batting around the exhaust is clean. My Miele C3 canister ( that I gave my mom but am using it at the moment, works superbly as well...

GOOD TO HEAR, and yes, do another restoration!

I would like it, I am a fan of Royal metal uprights
