Hoover Guardsman WOW Austin!! You sure made a looker out of that mess I gave you!! That had to be one of the biggest train wrecks to date. However, I have go complement the previous owner for the ingeniuity in making that bag, complete with wooden dowl, staples, glue and probably baling wire...

Simplicity find Congrats on your find~! I have the same vac with the very same problem. It was an estate piece, very little wear, and clogged in the lower hose. Once the clog was removed, it was fine. Except for it re-clogging after a little use. I noticed the base plate was warped, letting in...

Used the Hoover Floor Mate! I promised to post the results when I used my Yellow Hoover Floor Mate. It had been in the mud room for about a year and was tired of tripping over it and was going to drop it off at the goodwill when I read the thread. I loved the way it looked, but was not even...

Floor Mate Instructions Thanks so much for the input. I will give the machine a try this week. And no, I would never try to vacuum up water!! I did mean "solution" for the machine when I said "cleaners" LOL!! Thanks for clarifying that Sensotronic!

Floor washer Thanks for all the info regarding the vintage Hoover floor washer! I have one and had no idea how to work it, nor was motivated to actually use it until seeing all the info in this thread. I will give it a try and post the results. My only question is will most cleaners work in the...

Electrolux XXX motor replacement Kirbyduh! I would like to piggyback onto your thread and ask a similar question. I have a Lux model 12 that has the same problem and think it would be fun to upgrade it to a more modern motor and actually use it. I was wondering if the mounts and motors were...

Just found this NSS for sale on Craigslist in Las Vegas, really good looking comercial NSS vacuum cleaner. Looks very clean. I hear a lot about this vac on the website and it seems to be very desirable. Unfortunately, I am in Atlanta and its in Las Vegas...

Also, forgot to mention that i have a 10 foot hose that makes the stairs a breeze. It was the best investment I ever made. I also see that you were asking about an upright. I cant say I would recommend one for hardwoods and you probably want straight suction for the persian rugs if they are...

Vacuum Cleaner Recommendation Hi Jdhaynes! I vote for a filter queen. I have both a new one and a model 31. The older one has a felt pad that that snaps on to the floor tool and works great on wooden floors. Most are two speeds and are very powerful as far as suction and airflow. Both newer...

Eureka Restoration Eurekastar! That is a great restoration! I recently posted about my find, a similar model in a green/gold. It did not come with the brushroll though. Many tried to help me with a replacement, but I kept running into dead ends. I did finally get a wooden roll and it seems to...
