    Filter Queen 15 Foot Brown Electric Hose

    the 15' brown FQ electric hose has been extinct for some time. So after a fruitless search, I decided to make one of my own. First I hit up a local vacuum shop and bought two old FQ hoses, one had a tear towards the front, the other had a wear spot towards the suction inlet. I fused them...

    Filter Queen motor bearings

    Lamb 8mm Make sure you seat it properly. I used a long socket that fit precisely on the inner race(the inner circle that contacts the armature shaft). be gentle with the fans when you are putting it together. When I do FQ motor repairs I have a rule,(maybe a little OCD) I check the fans three...

    Filter Queen and other vintage machinery

    This week I bought a Filter Queen at a thrift shop. I found a rather shopworn Filter Queen model 33. The machine had several packages of cones, a newer brown replacement straight suction hose and the S-wands with a nozzle. I hesitated, then decided the the 15.00 price was a good deal considering...

    How good are Miele vacuums?

    Miele I think Miele the only way Miele could outdo itself would be to an 8 or 10 foot hose as an option. As far as short cord goes, my Bolero has a 40 foot cord. I only have to plug it in once and can clean entire my main floor if I use a centrally located outlet. I remember when I bought my...
