Not a good idea. I don't and won't recommend blindly putting oil into a motor. For one ball bearings are sealed so that very little oil on the outside will actually make it in. I have often seen bearings become seized but spin in the socket do to the introduction of oil. To effectively oil a...

Great vacuum. Sharp made some very nice vacuums. So sad they are all discontinued now. I would think dirty or worn carbon brushes. Very likely they are dirty and sticking.

Nice vacuum for free Not a frilly vacuum by any means but they do clean well. Easy to clean the filter and change the belt.

eBay does that too eBay has their own specs that come up if you select a model that have a template for. The problem is they are generally very inaccurate. Stupid things like self propelled and full bag indicator for an oreck upright. That was a source of frustration for me when a buyer...

Your welcome Jon! Glad to seen some of my extras find a home.

Thanks John. Nice to know I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Don't get me wrong the hoover wind tunnel is a great vacuum. But I prefer not to see everyone else's name on it. I think they days where we can identify a vacuums make and model from 200 feet are slowly fading.

I don't love this TTI is creating a monopoly. They will use the same molds to make vacuums under different names. They did this after acquiring Royal. They badged a hoover wind tunnel as royal and used it as a vacuum store exclusive. The problem is you can get the same machine with the hoover...

I sure hope not. Hoover and eureka made excellent canister vacuums for decades. But I agree, recently there is a lack of canisters offered on the market. Bissell has never really made a notable canister with only a few attempts at a power nozzle model. None of which were a hit or even worthy...

I have this one. This was a yard sale find from a few months ago. Even came with the original box and owners manual for a whole $10. Not as powerful as a full size but it still works great for small jobs and hard floors.

What a Beautiful lady! And I love that color! Matches my celebrity. Err. Yea need to get that one complete still. Anyway love the Connie !

Your kidding! Wow! And here I have been scrubbing them down by hand. I want to find a funky hose now.

I'm with Marcus Miele hoses are designed to be light weight and durable. The hoses are tested by lifting wights with them. The crushproof style hose in general holds up far better than wire reinforced hose and do the smoother interior provides better airflow by lack of resistance. As a wire...

So many possibilities Could be a bad motor. That's fairly simple. Or it could be in the hose. Loose or broken connection somewhere ( usually in the grip). I have seen the terminal blocks at the swivel go bad. Also seen the terminal just come unplugged. Then their is also the possibility of a...

Would this Model have the pin on the crevice or friction fit? I have several off white friction fit crevice tools.

Wow. Even duct tape can't fix stupid. SMH

I have About a dozen lux hose cords. I have grey, teal, white, and blue. Also have a few new old stock gray cords. Shoot me an email if anyone needs one.

There is a cord Available from proteam that is 18 inches long and goes from the hose cuff to the canister. The canister end is the same ad rainbow 3 wire just only has two prongs. With a few parts it would easy to make a nice black hose to fit the canister and fit the standard eureka wand.

You are Correct that their is only one field coil. So it's not possible that the high speed coil would burn out because it's all the same one. If any part of the coil is damaged or defective the whole thing is bad. The switch chaged back and forth from using the entire field coil to using only...

I have A mostly complete set in blue if your interested. I believe your machine should have gray accessories but blue would work if your looking to make the vacuum usable.

Envirocare Brand bags are very good. 4 ply like the originals so they filter well. You can also get the perfect brand hepa bags if you want to kick the filtration up a notch. I would steer clear of the Walmart and grocery store c bags as they are too thin. Iv seen those cause damage to many...
