    oreck xl restaurant edition belt problem!

    Check the bearings on the brushroll like the previous poster mentioned. This is what happened to one of mine...burned up the belts like crazy, ended up getting another brushroll, problem solved.

    Todays yard sale finds

    I've never seen a brushroll that bad and I pick up most of mine curbside. Blech. Make note of where you picked that one up, come next years sale, they'll probably have another up for grabs. Sad.

    Today's curb find Kenmore Whispertone

    Storms knocked the internet out for a bit. Yes, it does have attachments on the back. They look like they were hardly used. Went out early in the evening since I had to drop my son off at a friend's house, glad I did : )...it really stormed that night. Had I made my usual morning drive, it...

    A bag change and a quick clean up. Still not a looker, but runs like a champ.

    Today's curb find Kenmore Whispertone

    What I love though is how easy replacing the cord is on these models, 2 screws and there you are, ready to wire in a "new" cord taken out of the parts bin.

    Bissell Powerforce In Commercial Settings

    They're cheap, can take alot of abuse, and some employee's don't know how to change a bag...or like the last young bartender my ex hired will run it without one and wonder why dust is flying everywhere because "they thought it was bagless". lol I've picked up alot of them (I scrap the motors...

    Curbed Panasonic Jet Flo

    Curbed a model MC-6210 deep red & cream color this morning. This one is pretty bad and basically in the donor catagory only, I will most likely be scrapping it out in the next few days. : ( Cord is nicked and taped in one area, top cord holder on handle is busted, motor makes a loud...

    Replacing the cord on a Bissell Proheat

    On the couple that I replaced I was able to take apart the lower handle assembly (where the cord exits) and wire in a new one where its connected in the handle next to the heater box. I normally clean out the tanks with hot soapy water and rinse well, alot of tight areas, soaking them for...

    Regina-Hoover finds

    Haven't been around much, mother passed away, moved into a smaller home. But anyways...picked these up at the curb in my morning travels. Unfortunately due to lack of room, hubby says I can't keep them : (. But couldn't stand to leave them for trash. The Regina has had the cord cut on it, the...

    Hoover Steam Vac....

    I picked up a Hoover spin scrub curbside in excellent shape awhile back, love it. It poured water out on the floor from base on the middle/right side (looking forward at machine), turned out to be the "t" fitting on the hoses (where you push on the attachments). There was a valve type of...

    Quite An Amazing Curb Find!

    Great find! : ) Probably like the brand new Bissel (bagged model) I found. The husband walked out as I was loading it, told me his wife used it for maybe a week and bought a bagless instead.

    Does it bother someone else at your house?

    My husband just kind of shakes his head and walks away. My son gets confused when he goes to someone else's house and find out that they only have ONE vacuum. I have to laugh though, a few years back when my son was 10 both him & his friend came home dragging a Fantom Thunder they found in a...

    Handheld Testing - And My Opinion

    I've had the cordless dustbusters, corded dirt devil handhelds, and a electrolux pronto 2 in 1. My current favorite is an older corded Black & Decker Collector I found at a yard sale a few months back, it's bigger than a dustbuster and surprisingly very powerful. They had 2 of them, and I'm...
