Hi Brad, Very nice Super J you got there. As for the hose you can order a genuine or generic replacement hose from ebay. I opted for the generic for mine because I liked that it had a switch in the pistol grip to turn the PN on and off. Sam

The PowerMax uprights came out in 1992 and were around until I believe 1994. They Originally came with the Quadraflex agitator, but there was a replacement agitator made to fit the Concept/PowerMax lines that was a cheaper alternative to the Quadraflex. In my opinion the Quadraflex is a much...

Hi Guys, I'm looking for anyone else who is in the Pittsburgh area. Firs off it would be great to meet and what not. but secondly I found a Hoover in New Kensington that I wanted on craigslist and since it was over a 1 1/2 hr drive I was hoping if someone was closer they could claim the...

yes

Dennis, If you were not keeping the electrolux I may be interested in it. Sam

The production in N.Canton I believe ended in late 2007

Sounds like a great catch Brad, I cant wait to see your pics. Sam

Oh, good luck on finding brush strips, they are NLA, my concept like yours has new brushes I found, my Concept II has almost new brush strips, my Penney's Concept is unused so it hasnew brushes, and I have one set ofspares which I paid an arm and a leg for just to have. THey also had a...

That would be a good machine for cleaning your church, durable, good performer, and free

Nice Concept, I have the same model, it's my daily driver. BTW, that is a mid 80's model, around 85-86 I believe

Luckily the ladies and myself who help clean our church are very careful with our vacuum, as well as everything else. I'm lucky to be cleaning with a Hoover Concept One circa 1984 that has been well cared for and regularly serviced. So with careful use a good domestic use machine can last in...

I was also thinking $500 would be a good place to start

The last Kirby demo I had was in September 2007, The salesman started off at $1600 for the Sentria, attachments and shampooer. I had him talked down to about $650 for the Sentria, shampooer, handi-butler, turbo tool, zip brush,polisher head, and a gallon of shampoo. I was ready to write out a...

My choices are the metal-based Convertibles(I'm partial to the 1020) and also The Concept One and Concept Two machines. Those are my pick for deep cleaning

Do you have a Sams Club? If so they have a commercial Eureka F&G upright, I believe it is $139. Otherwise about the only decent uprights for around $100 in my opinion would be the bagged Kenmore uprights

Brad, I have a generic replacement hose on my Super J, it seals well it has great suction. As for fitting a new hose into the hose ends, it probably isnt easy since the hose should be a direct-connect electric hose. Sam

I pre-preat our white berber that is in 2 bedrooms with a spray of all purpose cleaner with bleach and let set for about 30 min and then I shampoo with the steam vac as usual, then follow it with a rinse of 2 cups white vinegar to 1 gallon very hot water. I figured since the berber is not in...

Bobby, All of my Concepts are Power Drives, 3 have cordwinders. I would like to find one or two non-powerdrive models, since everyone I knew as a child who had(actually most still have)Concepts were non-powerdrive models I've emailed my number. It would be great to chat again.

I purchase my Hoover A and C bags by the case on ebay, it makes the price of genuine bags cheaper then generic, plus I like to stock pile so I dont have to worry about finding them in the future. I have a much harder time trying to find genuine belts

I have never really been a fan of Dirt Devil, but I remember when my aunt got a Dirt Devil Deluxe sometime in 1993, If I recall correctly they were new or fairly new on the market. she used it at home for 3 or 4 years and then took it to her flower shop where it was used and abused until late...
