I do not have a DC25 but I have a DC24. The lower axle that the wheels are on says "PP"and a recycling symbol. The red handle where you put your foot on, I cannot tell what that says, it's obscured. The upper part of the hinged area immediately above the red handle that is grey and also looks...

Sorry posted the wrong photo, this nozzle would pair with the Outlaw backpack vac.

That's just a nozzle that connects to a larger vacuum system that you tote around. The seller doesn't know what it is and they do not have the rest of the unit.

This the one? The hose is wrong too - from a Kirby isn't it? I have gotten many vacuums that come with attachments and addons from other vacuums, it fluffs up my parts cupboard and always love getting them. Later on when I get the vacuum those tools go to, it makes a complete set. A few years...

You can, and they do have HEPA filters and bags. The issue is they have no power nozzle. They have a turbo tool on some older models for upholstery I think. If you can find a powered central vacuum head, they have connection adapters that might allow you to connect it to the hose. The main...

Wow! Nice find! I got one of these a few years ago. Mine has a yellow cord. Not sure if the cord was replaced or it's a different model. I believe these are a close relative of Sebo.

Yeah these are more for construction-based jobs. Dust capture standards and stuff. Plus they can pick up water. I think Mighty Mite would be a portable vacuum for the home, but not construction-related work. And then the Rigid shop vacs would be for when working on projects, connecting them to...

It has a locking mechanism within the hinge assembly along the wheel that will raise and lower along the ball. It's a big red lever that is supposed to lock in place. You push on it to lower the vacuum for cleaning. The hinge spring part likes to wear out and causes the mechanism to fail. Mine...

Great job on the chart! You've got a real talent for disseminating this information and making it cohesive and easy to understand! Once you start grouping these models all out in a timeline and in chronological order like that, they start making more sense.

I have seen bags come up off and on. If I remember right it has a bag collar similar to a Royal, that twist lock fitting. But on this one it slips on inside the channel, and not outside. Other hand vacs might have the same diameter. I know just a year or two ago I think someone had a bag for...

And in addition to Tom's comment, I would like to say - make sure you use a non-tacky grease that will not attract dust and dirt.

I have a newer shop vac from 2016. The big one with the bar handle and large wheels. I use the filter and the bag at the same time. This is what the manual states to do as well as shop vac's instructional videos. Know why? You're picking up large and sharp debris - wood splinters, nails, screws...

Gorgeous Electrolux! I have this same model too. These older model L's were rebuilt by Electrolux and for security and to prevent fraud, would be repainted in whatever the current color was for the main line of new "J" canisters at the time of production. As a result depending on when they were...

Yes, pneumatic cleaning vacuum, Blow air onto the floor and then have the machine suck it up. Looks like this was a demonstration between "the old way and the new way" and they were doing some kind of product review or op-ed that must be lost to time. This photo is actually rather creepy...

If you have short pile or have an area that gets lots of food crumbs you can get a motorized one. I'd never use one as my sole vacuum myself. I have a more advanced one for outdoors to do my driveway. i have tons of antique ones I pick up if I can find them cheap. I've only ever seen them...

I've seen them come up for sale many times, but no way to pick them up. Usually people want a fortune for half a piece of scrap they had sitting around for decades. They are 240V which can run on your dryer outlet or service line. There are many different brands and models. There are ones with...

Great find!

The smoking is oil burning off the motor windings, which is hazardous. You have to take the motor apart completely to re-grease it, and that's with grease, NOT oil for a machine this old. And NOT WD-40 either, that is not a lubricant oil. I would never use any kind of cleaner or degreaser, not...

Also as collectors it is our job to preserve and maintain these machines. I mean who else is gonna take care of and shine up Garry Vac. lol :)

Maybe something they make the filter out of had a reaction to the water? Starch makes water foamy.
