    Curious about this Panasonic Jet Flo upright

    I had a Jet-Flo MC-6210 and it had the same design. To my understanding it was Panasonic's design for a clutch to turn the brush roll off. When the user switch the clutch, it shifted the belt to an idler. Neat system and it did work well. I always loved how quiet the Jet-Flo and many...

    Anyone looking for a Penncrest A117? Heres one for sale.

    GottaHaveaHoove and Kloveland are correct! There are many who are no longer friends with a certain individual and crowd due to awful occurrences just 5 months ago. Many lost who they thought was a great friend. But the ship has sailed. We all try to see the good in things, meet and judge...

    One of my oddball Hoovers are for sale

    Nice looking Hoover Hoover TurboPower 1500 upright. That was the entry level Hoover TurboPower upright, originally sold for about $70. This post really belongs in the Supermarket area, it may get more hits there.

    Hoover SoftGuard Series

    The PowerMax II was a good looking unit and they do appear on eBay, FB Marketplace and other places. It was a hybrid of the Hoover CaddyVac floorhead with Breathe Easy/ WidePath Bag and handle assembly.

    (2000) Eureka Bravo 2 widetrack model 7822.

    Go for it, they're good cleaners! I recently picked up a Eureka Powerline from that era. It's loud but a great performer!

    Hoover Dimension 1000 cord replacement

    RugSucker is correct. The rear wheels hide screws that need to be removed in-order to reach the cord winder. The rear wheels and axles are one part. Flip the suction on its back so that the rear wheels are up in the are. You will notice the rectangular shaped clip of the rear wheel attached...

    HEPA Bag Opinions, Please

    Huge difference with a HEPA bag! I started using HEPA bags a few years ago and I have gradually tried to convert everything I can to it. HEPA bags are multilayer and thicker but the "fabric" feel of them makes them breathe easier. Paper bags are very thin and once a layer of dirt gets on it...

    2001 Hoover Powermax II (elite style)

    Great find! Those are nice and were on the market for a couple years to my memory but I'm not sure exactly what retailers. It was like a hybrid model which was cool. They have the upper handle and body assembly of a Hoover WidePath/ Breathe Easy upright as it has the added micro filter. The...

    Aerus LLC (Electrolux USA) 100th Anniversary Models?

    I haven't heard anything yet for them but I'm not a dealer. I have a 2023 Aerus Lux Legacy canister and absolutely love it. It's a very smooth and powerful runner. Love the black color. I wouldn't mind if the power nozzle was just a little more powerful though, it only uses a 1.2 amp motor...

    Hoover Celebrity update

    Congrats on the Celebrity find. They are great units! The exhaust filter to which you speak, really is a muffler. "Filtration" wasn't much of a thing at the time these units were made. They had a thin pre-motor filter around the motor shroud in the bag compartment and then the muffler was in...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Sorry for the issues, you guys are having! I wonder if a circuit has gone bad over time? Perhaps for the QVC version, they went cheaper on some part? BTW, @kloveland, despite the issue with your machine, your machine sounds fantastic in the video!! I remember watching YouTube last year...

    Lux Legacy Motor

    I love my new Aerus! I bought a brand new Aerus Lux Legacy canister at Christmas time 2022. I have very sensitive ears for noise tones and I find the machine to be absolutely wonderful!! It has a very pleasant, tone that is not loud at all! The power nozzle is much quieter than many Lux...

    Brush Inserts For Panasonic Power Nozzle

    The new brush roll may not be properly lining up with the rug guards of the old base which will cause resistance. You may also gotten a lemon. In general, the new wood ones with cog are pretty good.

    Hoover Preferred Elite Hardbag

    There's really not much to see at all under the hood! The machines are basic. The hood removes by gently releasing tabs marked with arrows at one each side under the unit between base and top housing. The height adjuster knob will also come off. With cover off you release the belt from the...
