I spoke with Stan Kann on a few occasions before his death, and still have a couple of emails from him from 2008. He was such a kind man with a heart of gold, when we were talking we spoke about the Hoover model 700 and how it had that " musical tone" on start up and how that was one of his...

The original “E-series” didn’t really have issues with the motors. I still see plenty of the original lamb and GS motors every day and a lot of them are still in use. The issue is when people fail to take care of the separator and because of that the fan becomes plugged and off balance which...

Well now, I wonder what my upcoming repair months are going to look like. I knew there was something wrong when it came out. The machine is noted to run HOT! They kept saying that it will run hot for 48 hours and I’m over here like, that’s a load of BS.

my 2 favorites are the lite plus and the plus XF, the Ultra MVP behind that.

That’s a great cleaner Kenny, so packed with features and for a clean air design, they definitely were a good value! They lasted a long time too.

Tom If I am able to go, I’d be more than happy to bring a couple of them down. Yes last time was a great time and I look forward to many more!

@huskyvacs Thanks! The lighting in the basement is cool white LED lighting and the camera my IPhone 11. The machines actually are very vibrant with color as I don’t believe they have been exposed to a whole lot of sun or used heavily.

Thank you for the compliment! They are very good machines indeed and some of my absolute favorites. I see you are in NY how far from Syracuse are you?

Yes it is! The bagless on the end was NIB, and all but 2 (excluding the NIB vision) have been serviced or rebuilt with some NOS parts. The 2 awaiting service are the plus (soft bag) and lite plus (black bag). I did have a can Vac, both power team and straight suction, also the pro series maroon...

As promised here is what I have dirt devil wise so far.

Is there a way we can manage to keep the thread on track without anything derogatory for once?

I have quite a few dirt devil machines. I’ll gather them tomorrow and snap a pic of what I have, I’ll even throw the royals in a pic too considering that dirt devil was made by Royal. I’m sure there are a few members here that have quite a few dirt devils too. I do have a brand new used once at...

No idea. I’d assume around 2000-01 than again, don’t quote me on that.

I actually have 2 of these, one came from a very good collector friend which it isn’t in the best of shape but it’s restorable, the other is damn near new. The “new” one was bought be a lady who used it for about a week to clean her deceased fathers house. I paid about $50 for it and find it to...

If you already have a sidekick here you go! https://www.ebay.com/itm/254524904096

The filter does have a gasket around the frame, however with the amount of air pressure behind a clogged filter where else does the air have to go other than around the edges. Basically, At that point the filter frame would flex outward regardless of the back cover holding it in place and allow...

lay the machine down flat, there are screws at the base of the head, I believe there are 4-6 screws, remove them, flip the machine over and remove the head. you will have access to the motor, belt, brush roll and headlight.

@bikerray I do stand corrected and apologize, as it has been quite some time since opening up a model 30 they do in fact use a double ball bearing motor. Both bearings do indeed require grease. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ Although there are a lot of electrolux models that do utilize a rear sleeve bearing and...

so there are a couple of things to look for, one as mentioned is the hose, Electrolux makes wonderful machines, however they have always lacked in the hose department, the insides are rubber coated and over the years have cracked, and degraded hence horrible leakage, another thing that you can...

Cole I managed to score the blue one of those Kenmores NIB and have used it quite a bit since i got it, love the color of yours!!! how do you like the nozzle?
