    Hoover Convertible

    I have this: Model U4001, nice used condition, has a few scrapes, one broken snap on the bag. Runs good, single speed. Needs a good greasing but I can do that if you are interested. Appears to be all original, one owner, low miles (lol)

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    tolivac, Just make me an offer, I don't have much in them and they are just taking up space in the closet. I'm not looking to make a mint off of them, and have no use for them. You can email me if you prefer, I'm not an upgraded member so can't use the messaging system here.

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    Yes, the used one works fine, I had originally tried to run it off of suction, but quickly realized that wasn't working.

    Eureka ESP Self-Propelled 5071D

    Yes, the stickers were only on the earliest bags- the one we had at our church had the later "Triple Filter" bag and I washed it by hand without issue. A great cleaner, although the drive cable was broken so it no longer self propelled. The one at our church wasn't excessively loud, just...

    Compact (C-6?) attachments For Sale

    I have Two Compact Polish-Aire attachments for sale, and a Compact "Magic Disc" sweeper- The Magic Disc appears to be NEW, in it's original box (I did use it once, so there are a few dog hairs but I will clean it out), and one of the Polish-Aire attachments also appears to be new, never used...

    in the market for a new steam vac

    I have a couple Hoover SteamVacs (original version), and they work fairly well. I have used a Bissell Proheat once (while I was repairing it), and it did fairly well but didn't seem to really deep clean. The best I have used was the original Rug Doctor (Rented red version or the blue home...

    Which brushroll to get?

    Yes, it is safe to wash the bag in the bathtub. Use warm/hot water, and laundry detergent. Wash it twice and then rinse until the water is clear.

    Arm & Hammer Carpet Odor Eliminator -- Thoughts?

    I've never had an issue with any carpet freshener powder, but it does clog bags and filters, so it's best to change the bag/clean the filters soon after using it. Never had any machine damaged by it though.

    when did they leave this ball game?

    GE *Did* have a few models out in the early 2000's, sold only at Walmart, they were not true GE's though, but rebadged Eurekas.

    The latest addition to my toilet collection.

    I could also care less how much water my toilets use, as long as everything is gone with one flush. Our house has (I think) an American Standard in tan upstairs, and a Mansfield (or something like that) downstairs. I think both are 2 gallon flush, and both do the job adequately. I *do* care how...

    Does this Self Propelled Windtunnel motor look like it needs to be replaced

    The big question is, how does it run? If it runs fine, don't bother replacing it, but if it sounds nasty or smells, by all means replace it.

    Electrolux hose repair.

    Why not buy a modern vinyl hose to use with the machines, and use the leaky originals for show?

    eureka superlite

    I have had a couple of them but sold them both. I thought they were pretty weak, and very noisy. Terrible filtration as well. I think the Dirt Devil and Hoover versions are much better machines. Better cleaning and filtration, and not so cheap feeling.

    How to get rid of bad smell from Dyson DC07?

    Well, the hepa filter *can* be removed. We had a dc07 animal at our church, and I removed the filter because it was very clogged. No damage to the machine, although it was significantly louder. Under the bin, at the front, there is a clip looking thing, that can be gently pried up with a...

    I think I found a Singer Simon.

    If bags aren't available, I can pick some up at a thrift store here in town and ship them to you. Pretty sure there are 2-3 packages.
