    Electrolux rebuilt (prior to Godfrey’s)

    Very cool ! Love the tweedy fabric on it. The opposite of the normal Electrolux staid soberness. I have some Luxes from the D720 through D745 series that came from Japan. Those can be really difficult to work on. The plastic upper body is riveted to the steel main body and a couple of...

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    Then you misunderstood. You don't get to define what a stick vac is.

    The cordless stick vac formfactor

    Sigh. You know so little. Lewyt, Hoover, Regina and Electrolux Inc. ( the US Electrolux ) all had the 1940s, 50s and 60s equivalent of a stick vac. It looked like a little hand held canister vac with a handle on one end and a wand with a hard floor brush on the other. In Europe Vorwerk...

    Finished working on my Hoover futura.

    Pretty sure the motor mounts you need are on eBay. I am not an expert at 3D printing but the type of plastic used and type of 3D printer affect whether or not your parts can take the kinds of forces a vacuum cleaner subjects them too. The 3D printers I have seen making commercial / military...

    shopvac 16 gallons with central vacuum hose

    We use the five layer synthetic HEPA dust bags Casa Vacuums sells in our shop vac, along with the Home Depot HEPA pre-motor filter and an exhaust filter. I can be sucking accumulated rocks and dirt out of our back yard drain pipes and no dust in the bucket or anywhere. The bags capture it all.

    Finally got a power head for my Eureka

    I haven't tried making the swap but I am about 90% certain you could replace the original Eureka cord winder with one from a Miracle Mate Mk 1. They look the same and have the same style plug. It that scabbed on hardware store plug ever starts to grind your gears this may be your solution.

    Offering free Eureka Roto-matic Power Team model 1279, Minneapolis, MN (Twin Cities area)

    I'm talking about the part that fits into the canister. With that hose end you can create a good working Eureka hose out of any of several Tristar, Patriot or Miracle Mate hoses with the hand grip you prefer. https://www.ezvacuum.com/products/eureka-hose-machine-end-button-lock-coupling-37321-3

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Interstate Engineering was sold to Engels Urso Capital Corp in March of 1996. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1996-03-04-fi-42977-story.html Based on what a German Lux dealer friend tells me Lux International was a wholly owned subsidiary of Electrolux AB until 1996 or so when...

    Hoover Legacy series (Duros)

    The sad thing is that there are no parts anywhere for them any more. Not even a brush roll. Nice to look at, fond memories but not a vacuum you can use regularly any more. Bummer.

    Best way to clean a Dyson V15

    The easiest way to, um, clean a Diesoon V15 is to open the lid on the dumpster and toss it in, then buy a serious durable vacuum with a synthetic dust bag. Just saying ............................

    Bought A Dyson PencilVac From Japan (Review Inside)

    For some of us kitty litter qualifies as natural household dust, etc.. Cats track it around surprisingly far from the litter box. I keep our litter box in our master bath ( long story why ) and have to vacuum twice a day. I have a dedicated bathroom vac, a Japan market Panasonic MC-PA21G.

    The Eureka canister hose end is still available new from a few vac shops. I just bought one a couple of months ago. I think I bought it from EZVacuum. I have been known to remove the steel canister end from a Miracle Mate hose and replace it with the the Eureka canister end. Where there's a...
