Here is the Z460. Slightly upmarket with automatic power control

I rebooted my braincell. The Sanitaire S490A was made in Germany based on the Electrolux Z457. In the US it was sold with a Vibragroomer power nozzle. The hose is unique inasmuch as it has the three lug Electrolux canister connection ( also many Nilfisk hoses shared this connection ). The...

I messed up Ben. The brain cell fired later tonight. The S490 came with a gray Vibragroomer with blue Sanitaire script.

I'm still smiling at the towel and are those linens ( ? ) with the Hoover logo on them. Were those promotional items or something Hoover normally once sold?

I haven't been able to figure out what company manufactures or at least assembles the S115 other than the name Kolektor is on all kinds of parts inside them. Kolektor is a big Slovenia based conglomerate so maybe they make it? I don't know for sure.

I have one but when I went to disassemble it to clean it a bunch of brass wire connectors broke as I was ever so gently taking it apart and now I don't know what wire goes where to put it back together. If your friend ever takes his apart I would sure like some images of how it is wired so I...

Husqvarna was originally a manufacturer of firearms, but as the need for them dried up in circa 1872 they began making sewing machines then moved on to outdoor, lawn and garden equipment. That is their current product line. The Electrolux Group bought Husqvarna in 1986. Their motorcycle...

Oh man, a Compact C6EB with the ABC power nozzle. That is way at the top of my Holy Grail list !

Express style. Do you have an S490A?

Euroclean? Huh. In Europe Eureka Forbes sells copies of old Electrolux models under the Euroclean brand. In India, the home of Eureka Forbes, the Lux Intelligence / Aerus Guardian Platinum is sold there as the Eureka Forbes Euroclean Xtreme.

Wow! Never knew this existed and now I will spend the rest of my life looking for one.

Look down towards the lower half of the handle. You can see the bag is in front and the cord wrapped on the side.

Soft bag so not a Jet Flo. Mystified. 🤫

I read "Vacuflo model 26 dating" and my mind immediately went somewhere other than vacuums : - )

First thing that came to mind is an old Panasonic Jet Flo.

Heat guns are kind of wimpy. I have never been too happy with their ability to heat things up well. Try running full hot tap water across it for a couple of minutes. Hot water seems to heat things better. With the heat gun you can be heating one side up but the other side is cooling down...

You may be able to free the floor tool from the wand by running the hottest water your faucet has over the connection until everything is good and hot,or pour boiling water on it at the connection. Sometimes getting things hot can get them to loosen up. Not 100% but works often enough to be...

If you are patient and stalk eBay regularly an original outer bag will turn up in the fullness of time. Oh, look...

The Eureka 6984 "Home Cleaning System" also had the sliding power control and three position rocker switch on its hose. I have one. The identical looking 6982 hose has a mechanical air bleeder and a simple two position rocker switch to turn the power nozzle on and off. I have one of those...

Some vacuums stores are honest and treat customers good but others like the Aerus dealer for our region are greedy and highly dishonest. The industry has its characters and its villains. Ask Dysonman how Tacony Corp treated him and how they tried to steal his collection. Even though our state...
