Ironically... Hoover has some instructional videos on how to empty the dirty water tank on different SteamVac models, and said videos show foam getting sucked into the motor at the beginning of each. Here's a video for this particular machine.

Lately, I've noticed that the "classic" Hoover SteamVac SpinScrub with Clean Surge carpet cleaner (F5914900) is gone from Hoover.com, Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy. Did this model of SteamVac get phased out? I would greatly appreciate it if anybody could shed some light on this for me. I've...

I used to use A Dirt Devil Dynamite back in high school; it was the main vacuum in my "high needs" classroom, originally purchased in September of 2008, when I was a freshman. It was a very nice and light vacuum to use on the super-low pile commercial carpet. However, the vacuum was very loud...

I don't think so To fix this problem, I simply put packing tape over the hole on the hose, and it's holding up just fine.

Following another thread on 2000s bagless Hoovers, I've decided to make this post about bagless Bissells from the early to mid-2000s, specifically ones that are single-cyclonic. The first ones that come to mind are the CleanView series, which include the CleanView II and CleanView Revolution...

Here's a failed vacuum experiment I just had. My mom was given a Bissell Quicksteamer Plus by a good friend of hers, who stated that sometimes the soap doesn't come out of it. This particular machine is from the early 2000s, and uses a stationary "Cross Action Brush" that just brushes over the...

I just discovered this minor issue with my Dyson DC07 Animal, which is 11 1/2 years old now. This Dyson, for the most part, has been relegated to a garage vacuum for cleaning up a play area for two of my dogs, who both shed a lot. I vacuumed that area like normal, and the vacuum still ran...

Electroluxxxx, of course I know that certain someone; it's me. My Fury is still alive and well; I just haven't touched it since the plastic near the handle release pedal broke. I haven't found another housing yet.   Dysonman1, despite the Fury having low airflow, it still does a very good...

I was browsing eBay for Fantoms just for fun, and came across this odd Fantom Fury for sale.   What's weird about this particular Fury is that while it has the older design, the "FURY" wordmark is placed right below the Fantom logo, as opposed to the base of the collection bin. It also has...

Hey guys My friend got his vacuum to work again. He watched the second video I posted. I did tell him that he's not supposed to hit the trigger when emptying the bin.

Since part of the plastic on the lower housing of my Fantom Fury has snapped, I'm looking for a replacement. However, I cannot find any housings for sale on eBay at the moment.   Does anyone have a lower housing from a Fantom Fury that they would be willing to sell? Please let me know!

Kind of The one vacuum that I try to baby is my Fantom Fury, mainly due to the difficulty of finding replacement parts for it; Fantom has been out of business for nearly 18 years. After the pain I went through with the motor last year (long story...) the Fury has been running beautifully...

Possible solution? It sounds like the pre-motor filter is clogged internally. I'll have to let my friend know about that. Someone on YouTube suggested watching this video from 1:25 onward to see how the filter should be separated and what's actually inside it. Apparently, the motor pulsing and...

A friend of mine is having this weird issue with his Dyson V6 Car + Boat handheld vacuum cleaner, which he bought two years ago. He stated that it was acting screwy. Turns out the motor is constantly cutting out during use. This happened the other day. For the record, the bin and filters were...

I have an observation to share concerning my Fantom Fury, and was wondering if any other Fantom owners have observed this with their machines. The brushroll tends to collect fine dust during use. I looked at the underside of the Fury, and there was some dust on the part of the brushroll closest...

So my mom and sister are currently on vacation in Japan for 3 weeks, which is my mom's home country. Earlier this afternoon, in Japan time, they went to a Japanese Costco and spotted this Shark EVOPOWER W10 handheld vacuum cleaner. I'm surprised at how compact is is compared to American...

After my Shark Steam Pocket Mop died, I just took it apart and threw it in the trash. Now I'm in the market for a new floor cleaner, primarily for my laminate flooring downstairs. A member on here recommended two Bissells to me: the CrossWave, which vacuums and washes at the same time, or the...

Further inspection I decided to perform an autopsy on the Shark by unscrewing 8 screws on the back. There was an additional small screw, along with a metal C-clip, that held the handle on. After that, the back of the mop just lifted right off. I took a close look at the guts of the Shark (pun...

huskyvacs I tried your suggestion by filling up the tank with pure white vinegar and running the mop to try and flush out the openings. Initially, I went outside and pumped the handle several times, and a lot of steam came out. But then, it stopped and steam came out of the body of the mop and...

I have a Shark Steam Pocket Mop (originally owned by my dad's girlfriend) and it has been working beautifully, until now. I tried using the Shark to steam the downstairs bathroom/laundry room floor, and it sounded like steam was barely coming out, even though the tank was full of water. I...
