Hello everyone, I am in need of a headlight lens for my recently-acquired 1076 Convertible. Would prefer one with the “Convertible Deluxe” logo on it if possible but a generic one will be equally acceptable. If anyone has one available, please message me. Thanks very much! Bill W.

Hoover UK did make some machines for the US market ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... and this is a prime example of that.  Think back to the Lightweight Upright of, I believe, the '70s -- model 1348, styled exactly like the Hoover Juniors of the day from the UK.  Those...

Voltage Converter <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Because I have several machines in my collection from Germany, France, and the UK (including two Dysons, might I add), I have a voltage converter that allows me to run them on 120V.  It's called a "Litefuze Convertingbox"...

You can bet your booty that I won't be buying one! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Cordless cleaners are fine for quick pick-ups, but that's about all they're good for (IMHO, anyway).  If one wants true cleaning power, there's no substitute for a corded vacuum!</span>  ...

Just in case anyone's interested ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">In my previous post I mentioned that I was planning to make a video of the machine.  Here is a link to that video, in case any of you might be interested in taking a look.  I've also added a few pictures of...

And here's an update ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">The machine came back from my friend's shop today, after having it's "illuminating experience"!  My friend told me that it was a good thing that I brought it to him, because not only did I get the LED's fitted as if...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Is there any particular Hoover Convertible model that you are looking for?</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

I've bought Kirby parts from him before. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">He does a good business, he's fair with his pricing, and is very easy to do business with.  I know that I will do business with him again when the need arises.  Glad you're so happy with your Kirby ...

Thanks for the advice, everyone! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And Kyle, that's an excellent job you've done on your machine.  Unfortunately, I don't feel that I'm quite as handy as all that, so I've decided to hand the job over to a good friend of mine who happens to own a...

Nice to meet you too! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Glad to hear that you enjoy my videos!  You can see some of the British/European models that I have in those videos, BTW ...</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Not quite, Gabriel. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">All that that is going to do for you is convert a British plug to an American wall socket.  It won't step up our voltage to that of what your British vacuum cleaner will need.  In fact, plugging your cleaner into one of...

You may want to consider using a mail forwarding service. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have bought several vacuums from the UK using both eBay.co.uk and Amazon.co.uk, and I can tell you from experience that there are many sellers in the UK who will only ship vacuums to...

You can send him a message from VacuumLand <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">You should see something like the illustration below at the top of your VacuumLand screen.  If you click on it, it will take you to the VacuumLand Messaging System.  You can click on "Send New...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I've got a question about the Miele S7210 Twist upright vacuum cleaner.  Recently, I purchased one from a seller on eBay.  Only after I purchased it did I realize that this model isn't equipped with the LED headlight -- which is something that I...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have a Sanitaire S677 upright; a Windsor Sensor SR12 upright; a Nilfisk canister which I want to say is a GM80 (?), and a Tennant 3400 canister.  I previously had a Lindhaus-made Kent Duravac upright, but donated it to a local thrift store...

I like them both. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And, as someone else said previously, it all depends on what I have to clean.  If I'm only doing my rugs, it's a pretty safe bet that I'm going to grab an upright rather than bother with setting up one of the canisters...

What Huskyvacs said about society is so true. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I'll give you two perfect examples: both of them are SEBO machines.  The first one that I have, a Windsor Sensor SR12 made by SEBO, was purchased by me for $6 from a thrift store in North Tonawanda...
