Yeah the curved wand goes upward at floor level, they take some getting used to due to the sharp angle, it can seem odd at first. Forgive the stock image, it's just what google spit out. lol

I never had problems with it other than the fact that the nozzle size is specific to very few inflatables. Make sure it is a snug fit and is able to go past the check valve flapper in the inflatable's nozzle. I've never used mine but probably once to fill and air mattress and that was like...20...

The bottom tub looks like something they put on carpet shampooers so you can see the water level.

Has anyone ever tried to re-bristle nylon/synthetic brushrolls? I wonder if it would be the same process as antique horsehair ones?

As was already clearly stated before - the wattage is what the inverter is rated for, not what is coming from the wall socket. Hence why it's called an INVERTER. And the inverter will be 20% less than what is printed on the case, due to differences in power consumption and over-rating the...

Vincent doesn't seem to understand how an up/down inverter works. You don't need to rewire your house or do anything to the outlet. Just plug the inverter in and then your vacuum into the inverter and set the appropriate voltage for what you are running. That's it. The inverter does all the...

The step-up/down transformer you need will be a carry-around box type. Not the little travel case of plugs, those are for small stuff like DVD players. The general rule is to take the maximum power rating of the vacuum, and double it by two, and that will be the power rating you need on the...

I would wager if they did exist they would have surfaced by now as there would be several hundred of them, but who knows. Maybe it was just a prop for the commercial?

I think he's a doctor isn't he? I guess he disappeared when the money ran out. It happens fast with people that live above their means. He had a nice collection, just his clout bragging and "poor shaming" is what made him not pleasant to be around. Like he is a rapper or something lol. I had...

I also need a reproduction bumper too. Also not sure how many know this but the original bumpers actually have yarn molded into the top and bottom ridge to shape it.

I got one, just the tank itself, for free.

Wow ! What a boatload of tools! I wonder if the person was a house cleaner or maid.

So it would be this one, but in white correct?

GE used this design well into the 80s I believe. I have seen them in chrome and also with plastic bodies. I have a single brush GE model that's turquoise. It only has the brush that came with it and it was flattened from being stored flat on the floor. It had a moving van tag on it from the 60s...

Just the course of time. Companies, parts, products, all go obsolete and are lost. That is why we collect. To preserve, share, educate what has been forgotten.

It's a simple slide switch produced and sold for less than 1/2 a penny in value why would it ever be rare?

The hose just plugs into the ring. You push the two tabs on the side and then pull it out. Judging by the rust inside the hose this vacuum has been sitting for a long time so the rubber power take off socket is likely swelled up and stuck if not the hose rusted in place. Will take some wiggling...

If Eureka used this same mold for other vacuums, their bag doors will likely fit. Will not match of course, but it will fit. My The Bank upright vacuum has a Carpet Pro bag door on it (both made by Tacony if I am correct on that), and I fixed a Royal ProSeries with a Hoover Windtunnel bag door...

I hope you find one (and I hope I do too). This is one of the models of Kirby vacuums that continuously eludes me. I actually got one on eBay but then the seller tried to extort me for $150 more dollars to ship it and I said hell no, and they canceled my order and then put it back up for sale...

Not related to your question but funny scene I thought of from "Mongrels" when I read your comment.
