That upright ALSO sold as Siemens.

If you swap the fill-tube, a Dirt Devil type U bag will fit onto the type A tube and fit inside the narrow outer bag.

Does it have edge cleaning channels on the bottom plate? If it doesnt its pre-1974. The curve/angle of the handle grip and the design of the rear wheels are other indicators. Good-looking machine. Has the finish on the main casting been restored in any way?

Lovely machine. I have one of these and i sit here with my Hoovers model 1060 and 1070 and i honestly dont think i could force myself to choose between the Hoovers and the Eureka. Pros and cons on both sides. Also interesting is the number of variations on the model 260. Ive seen them with...

I find Orecks with broken fan chambers/pivots all the time. Its one of the first things I check for.

Wow. Very impressive.

vintagehoover is right. I have used both the Rug Doctor AND Hoover Steamvac with great results.

Performance will vary from machine to machine, I think, since the mounting on every machine is different. His Panasonic bag looks like a DVC cloth bag. DVC makes an excellent cloth bag for Panasonic/Riccar/Kenmore uprights. I used one once during my famous hotel test and the filtration was...

Rob, keep us updated on the parts. Im sure you will get what you need.

What type of agitator does that UK Concept have? Did it come with the bottom plate? I wonder how the cleaning performance compares with the Turbopower/master?

I HAD TO LOOK TWICE! I thought that said forty-nine!

cheap motor? Yes. It can likely last a LONG time in household use where you might use the machine about thirty minutes every week. Commercial use, where the machine might run over an hour every day, thats different.

Its a lot more complex than small and large. The 2000-series early models and chromed Sanitaire models have a long-life, cool-running motor with about double or triple the number of bars on the commutator. The field is also much bigger on the pancake motors. Ever notice the 1400 series models...
