    What to do??

    I was given a Kirby Heritage I motor and I have no idea what to do with it. I'm thinking of selling it so how much is reasonable?

    Aerus Electrolux

    I'm simply curious if Aerus Electrolux is still a good vacuum aside from the metal of the past issue- I'm asking about the present. Metal or plastic is not the issue. I wish to know things like do they do well at deep cleaning, do they have electrical problems, are there issues with the hose...

    Aerus Electrolux

    I've not read much mentioning of the Aerus line and was curious if they are like. I've been a huge electrolux fan for years and the current models look simply beautiful to me. Just wondering.

    My sad Kirby Heritage II

    I tried as suggested but the first screw acted like it was breaking instead of loosening so I left it alone. I think it has come to the point of being roached and unfixable.

    My sad Kirby Heritage II

    The fan case doesn't open cause the rubber sealant has glued it shut. I've tried to pry it open but a screwdriver will not fit in any cracks cause they are filled with sealant. The screws holding the motor in place are rusted in place

    My sad Kirby Heritage II

    Yep!!! I'm still learning the terms- but I'm gladly not using the term dohickie and thingywhaty. I can get to the motor but not open the motor or get to the fan.

    I can get the housing off easily- it's the screws of the motor it's self that I can remove. The switch is still there set on first- it's the mechanism that works it is completely missing. The front is still sealed shut and nothing has loosened it.

    My sad Kirby Heritage II

    As stated my Kirby HII is in sorry shape due to the mess created by a vacuum repair crook. This poor thing has several problems and I don't know where to start. Currently the vacuum runs but not as well as it could. First problem- the two speed motor is stuck on the first speed cause the control...

    Sadly that was me-

    A while back, my friend Joe22 posted about a sucker that took his Grandma's 1970 Hoover Convertible to a vacuum repair crook and got taken for a ride. I asked that the old motor be taken care of as the bearings were getting dry and the brush roll worn. When I got the vacuum back it sounded...

    Oreck Brushroll going bald

    The piano store I work for has an Oreck Commercial and the brush roll goes bad every couple of years. The local dealer here is very friendly and replaced the brushroll free the first time it wore out. Is still doesn't work as well as the old Sanitaire we have there also.
