    Please Don't Ban Me From VacuumLand Because of What I Did.

    We get Donuts Here At The Office And I sometimes say "Donuts spelled backwards is Stunod", (without the 'a' at the end) and always get a laugh from the Italian guys.

    Please Don't Ban Me From VacuumLand Because of What I Did.

    I bought this. Yes, not a vacuum, but still a floor-care product. My Mom is 94 years old with a little bit of dementia, and beginning to get Alzheimer's disease, making t difficult for her to use an upright vacuum, which she insists on doing weekly. She can't remember about the pedal that...

    Found A Hoover Duros

    It was being thrown away by a neighbor, mostly complete, but was missing the bag and the tools that go onto the tool holder that is fastened to the wand. There was a ton of hair, string, yarn, carpet thread on the brushroller, got that all cleaned up, like new. I cupped my palm on one end of...

    rusty vacuums

    I found two of the Silverado model recently that were waiting to be picked up by the trashmen. Outside, they looked great, but inside they were all rust. Sadly, into the dumpster they went.

    Do You Vacuum Your Vacuum

    ...When repairing/restoring a new vac, or do you use an air compressor to blow out the debris? Personally, I prefer to use an air compressor on a windy day outside and blow all of the debris and contamination away. If you use a vacuum, then you have to deal with the accumulated debris at a...

    IBM Handheld Vacuum

    Hello all, I have a handheld vacuum cleaner with the IBM logo on it. I don't know the vintage, maybe 70s-80s, and I believe it was made for the IBM Field Engineers to use when they went out to service the mainframes. Does anyone have one of these in their collection? Does anyone know the OEM...

    Old Sears Shop-Vac with Cardboard Container

    I have an old Sears shop-vac with both the intake and exhaust ports on the top, and it uses a cardboard container. There is also a swiveling plastic carrying handle on the top. Why cardboard? Maybe it was made when metal was being rationed, like just before or during WW2? Does anyone know...

    Hoover Convertible Bottom Fill Type "C" Bag Alternative?

    IF I could find a genuine Hoover rigid tube and whatever other parts are needed to convert from bottom-fill to top-fill, I most certainly would do the conversion.

    Hoover Convertible Bottom Fill Type "C" Bag Alternative?

    The Hoover 'A' bag has a cardboard collar at the top. The bag I'm thinking of had a paper tube from near the top of it, going down, similar to the Eureka F&G type bag.

    Hoover Convertible Bottom Fill Type "C" Bag Alternative?

    After Further Reseach, It might have been a Eureka type F&G bag.

    Hoover Convertible Bottom Fill Type "C" Bag Alternative?

    I remember many years ago using a different bag for my Hoover Model 33 bottom fill vacuum. The standard bottom-fill Hoover type "C" bag just slides over the outlet port, and looks kind of like a sock. When the vacuum is turned off, debris might fall back down into the outlet port, and possibly...
