I recently bought an old Dirt Devil car vac used off EBay. I’m cleaning it up and gifting it to my brother to use in his car, and I discovered that it is bagless unlike my dirt devil hand vac Plus which uses type G bags. I’d like to convert this powerful car vacuum to use disposable bags as the...

go for it! The kirby is an EXCELLENT choice for commercial choice! It's a higher end royal basically, and it has the BEST filtration out of ANY (and I mean ANY) vacuum on the market today! the tech drive is a great alterative to and better than a self propelled system. I've used my kirby...

I think the eureka royal you may be referring to is actually a rebranded Hoover tempo wide path. Royal and Hoover are now owned by TTI, so it should come as little to no surprise that the companies are using each other’s designs.

My input on the junior... I find the junior to be quite an interesting design. I see it as part hoover, part sanitaire, and part Kirby/Royal. First off, it has that well known all steel Hoover beater brush with replaceable brush strips; second, unlike the majority of brush rolls designed as...

Oreck I think a machine that died an early death was the oreck radio vac. It was basically a yellow oreck XL with a radio. I don’t know much about it, but I do remember it from my childhood when my dad would connect to the internet and show me pictures of vacuums. I can confirm its existence...

Here you go, folks, pictures as requested. I even took pictures of the front wheels just for good measure.

Some of you may know that I own a wonderful, and perhaps rare, 80's Hoover Convertible from Kmart model U4395. I've noticed that she has a problem with her balance. On the carpet, she's fine! she grooms the carpet well, and holds it up with no problems! But when i have her on a hard floor, I...

Electrolux137.... Jokes on you! I actually like that song!

Re: bagless hoover If you're looking for a bagged hoover upright, try hoover commercial, they have more bagged uprights there, but sadly the classic Conquest and Guardsman machines are now only listed on hoover commercial's website as having only a dirt cup. Royal makes hoover's bagged...

So I was watching this corny 90's Fire Safety video on YouTube known as be cool about fire safety. It features Gilbert Gottfried with a brief appearance by Michael Winslow. And while Mr. Winslow was making sound effects while pretending to be on the phone with a repairman, I noticed he had a...

Blackheart, I know that proteam and others have made them. I just find it ironic that the non-aerus Electrolux would make this machine based on an upright from aerus-Electrolux. It’s also coincidental since both companies at one time shared the same name. Now if aerus-Electrolux made a machine...

No, that's not A typo. I actually found an aerus-electrolux upright mmade by the Sanitaire-Electrolux somewhere on the internet! I don't know what you would call this, but to me, this is in a way confusing! I mean think about it: a company of the exact same name is copying the design from a...

an update I decided to remove my hand vac from ebay. given it's shape, NOBODY would want to buy my rare M08510 with the fact that it's been reinforced by screws and that it still seems to be crumbling. My Ergorapido has been sold, and my Gator is still for sale. instead of selling the machine...

i may be interested in the sanitaire. I'm an independent janitor needing a good sturdy vacuum for an office. I'm looking to get a good deal on a commercial vac. i tried out a sanitaire at my local vac store, and thought it was a good sturdy machine. How much are you wanting for it?

Not all companies don't give a damn... Kirby takes pride in their history! They offer brush rolls, belts, outer bags, disposable bags, lights, hoses, and cords for their older models. At least for some of these items and models they used to. They'll even REBUILD (yes, REBUILD) their old models...

I know I can find genuine belts on eBay, but for some reason I'm unable to find them on Hoover's website. JesseD, search on Hoover's website for "lightweight commercial belt" brought me to a v-belt for a lightweight bagged upright. Perhaps you have the convertible soft and light (a version of...

I have had my convertible for a few years now. how i got it is another story. I looked on hoover's website for belts as I was starting to run low and thought it might be best if I ordered from the manufacturer. Given my bad experience with non-OEM parts, I wanted to get ONLY genuine hoover...

The machine looks nice. but, like I said, the royal logo on the hub caps just kill it for me. back on the main subject of vintage for a modern hoover vacuum and or vice versa, would anybody reccomend try a beater brush in a gaurdsman if i do buy one? I've finally figured out that a VG/VGII...

About the garbage It is rare to my knowledge. 90's not belonging in the same sentence is up for debate. I'm only selling that one for parts so if someone needed a bush, a switch, a cord, a motor, a fan, etc. They could grab it off my machine. I'm not expecting someone to use it to add their...
