Happy Thanksgiving. Recently, I bought a Miele Bolero for a good price. Its former owners were slightly confused: I assume that they thought it was a garbage disposal. I am basing my opinion on the clog I pulled out of the machine that ran from the base of the machine to the end of the hose...

That is a beautiful piece of machinery! The Omega looks its best with the armadillo bag. My grandmother had one just like it when I was growing up. Congratulations on your find.

Hi. Does anyone have Filter Queen S-wands and a nozzle (additional felt pad would be fantastic) and / or a dark brown Filter Queen 8 or 15' hose they would like to sell? They have to be dark brown because my machine is dark brown. Thank you, Derek.

Hi, You can upgrade the powernozzle to a Miele Seb234 which is the same as 236 but with a different connection. It will work with your RedStar. Congratulations on your Miele. That is a great find.

BTW, Whose vintage Sanitaire is that? It is a beautiful machine.

Exactly! That is exactly it! I have been debating on attaching a royal handle with a red grip and cord then running the wiring so that it will turn on and off via the in handle toggle switch. I have never seen it done before. It will be a red and chrome cleaning masterpiece! I like the red...

Only a grand? I'll take two. Well, let's see.......... No attachments, tarnished chrome, mold on the headlight lens and all for a steal at $1,000. HE HAS TO BE CRAZY!!. Who in their right mind is going to pay $1,000 for that cleaner???

The base has the wide rear axle and a square hood. Though it makes sense, I do not find it aesthetically pleasing to me. The 886 has too loud of a motor for my preference.

LX bag I used to have an LX. I put a short pencil stub in the switch by the hose inlet, the small tab in the rectangle opening. That acted as a "church key" and prevented my LX from launching the bag out at me while I was cleaning.

Hello. I am going to be starting an unusual project. I am going to piece together a red and chrome round top Eureka upright. I have a 1400 Series Eureka with a 5.0 amp Sanitaire motor that I swapped into the machine replacing the 4 amp. I like it except it is blue which clashes with all of my...

Hello. I recently came across am FQ made cleaner made in the Princess fashion fashion called the Empress. I have seen only one before. Does anyone have info on the Empress and other FQ off shoots, I know about Princess 1, Princess 2 and 3, and Optima and ElectraPure, but I never heard of the...

Daily Driver. My daily driver is a black Eureka Litespeed Model 5847 with gray accents. I am very fond of this vacuum. I use it when I don't feel like getting out the Miele and all its attachments.

Attaching royal upright belts Hi. This is what I would do with my old Royal cleaner. First, unplug the machine for safety reasons. It is too easy for something to trip the switch such as the edge of a throw rug,coffee table leg, etc. By all means, unplug it. Then, I would use a large...

I forgot to mention I'm sorry, there are two sets of above the floor cleaning attachments (Dusting brush, crevice tool, and upholstery nozzle with slide on brush shoe). I only photographed one set.

Ladies and Gentleman, I have an Air-Way Centurion canister cleaner in my collection that I decided to sell. It was made circa 2002. It has the power-nozzle and attachments. I have everything but the owner's manual; the owner's manual had been lost some time ago, unfortunately. I am its second...

Ulgy Lux I love the Model E/L cord-winder screwed to the front of the machine. I have never seen that before. Learn something new everyday lol.

Re: The Ugly Lux I think its patina adds to its character. I only remember seeing a yellow topped Lux 30 when I was a kid. That must have been in 1985. I know that Lux 30's or XXX's did not come with a yellow covering from the factory. Must have been a rebuild somewhere in its life.
