    Hoover Dimension 1000 bags

    It is my vague understanding that the Dim 1000 also takes the same bags as the windtunnel canisters, so try Type S.

    Bissel vacuums Good or bad

    I like to say Bissells are sneaky. Even with routine maintenence, they will have a shortened lifespan compared to what how long the motor could last. For example, even if you never cleaned your pre motor filters, no dirt(at least visible, or up to say 95%)should get past the filters. However, I...

    'Tis Maroon Hoover Day!

    That was my guess When the title said maroon Hoover, I had a hunch it was the Dirt finder, because to my recollection it is one of if not the only maroon Hoover in a while. I just garbage picked one the other day, only needed a cleaning and a belt. Can't get the dirt finder to work yet though...

    D-D Roommate

    It is also possible you have the same problem mine did, in which the motor "mounting bracket" snaped and fused to the fan. Motor shouldn't sound binding if the belt or brush is jammed/bad, it would just burn the belt. What I found the reason for what happened to mine was the motor got hot...

    Filter Queen model 33

    I would like to find the proper hose for a FQ model 33. If it came with a carpet and or floor tool I'd be interested in getting one of those too. In addition, an electrified hose for a 95x is also on my list.

    Pink Hoover Convertible Special

    The house I'm moving into has had one exactly like that was burried in the garage for decades. It was my friend's grandmother's vac, and we're renting the house so I get the vacs in it.My friend's mom remembered it as a kid in the early 70's I beleive, but I'm sure she had it since it came out...

    Panasonic/Sears canisters

    I only like the designs of the mid-late 90's models, otherwise those rectangle-shaped bodies run into every wall, obstacle and piece of furniture they can to slow your cleaning down! I got one of those newer (bagged) progressives out of the trash and I find myself using it alot. One thing I...

    Calling all Filter Queen experts.

    I have always heard of filter queen quality, but I've never had the desire to spend money on one. I was recently given a model 95x and 33. The suction was excellent as expected, but I had no idea they were whisper quiet with monster suction! The 33 seems to be more powerful and quieter, but the...

    Two Tone Filter Queen Model 33. I'm So Confused.

    I have a model 33 looks just like that except w/o a pn port. I don't know a single thing about filter queens but it certainly is a nice machine.

    Hoover Conquests

    I have a 14" Hoover Conquest I would like to sell, and I will have 2 more and an 18" to sell also, soon as I get them going and cleaned up. They are the orange models, about 1996 or so. The metal parts have some rust, but all bearings and motor internals work flawlessly. Any easily removable...

    How rare is a circa 1936 Rexair Rwinbow?

    I have one of those, advertising poster boards for Rainbow/Rexair with the wrong dates for machines pictured and The B on a C's dolly. Nice to have but it would be nicer if it was correct! I think a D-series model is also missing from the poster too.

    The master of tank-like vacuums, Hoover Conquests

    As I briefly spoke about in another thread somewhat related, I am now the proud owner of 8 Hoover conquests in nearly unknown condition. I will be driving 500 miles in a couple days to pick them up and get to work making them workhorses like they should be! My excitement put aside from the...

    Hoover Concept One with a Twist

    I remember when I was a kid my dad bought some and put one in his vacuum and installed one in my mom's a joke for me. Found out a couple years ago they sell them in a couple colors for use in landscape lighting and decorative lighting I believe.

    Is there anybody near Macedon, New York?

    Thanks I spoke with her, that's why she did it so I could buy it now. I have decided it would be ultra cool to make a road trip out of buying some vacuums, something I've never done before. So me and a fellow collector are going to drive there and pick them up.

    Is there anybody near Macedon, New York?

    This post fits between misc. and for sale. Right now on Ebay someone is selling a lot of 8 as-is Hoover conquests for $150. Catch is pickup only in Macedon NY. I live about 500 miles away, and am thinking this would make a great road trip but the bidding ends in 2 days and I don't have time to...

    Hoover Elite

    Its the U.S. Dimension, legacy based. I love how some people can't even wrap a simple hose correctly, like how attachments always go missing when they are stored right on the machine.

    Cloth bags

    I know its only a few but maybe one of these will apply to someone. Offering up 3 bags for free, just pay shipping and packaging costs. I have a very nice looking bag for a Hoover Clean n light, a decent looking bag for the "commercial" version of the Dirt Devil featherlite, and a Kirby Classic...
