Centralvacs1928 There was. This is an improved version of it. Ironically enough, shortly after discovering this one, I found a listing for a Bissell Plus in a different city. Those machines also came in a few different colors besides Penn Central green (I'm not good with color names, sorry)...

It's model 3554

Additional photos: Also, I can't figure out how to get the post-motor filter off. I looked up the manual, and it said something along the lines of pressing down and pulling out on it, but I tried doing that, and I still couldn't get it out. Also also, what kind of belt does this thing take? The...

After 3 months, I finally got one. A dream machine of mine that I almost thought I'd never aquire. A Bissell Lift Off 3554! It's kind of a long story as to how I got it, but in short, I found it 3 months ago on FB Marketplace for $90. It was more-or-less new, had 30+ NOS Filtrete bags, and it's...

PanasonicVac Just for right now, the power head/attachment kits aren't the most pressing issue with my CV project. I would really like to get something like a Sebo, Lindhaus, or another similar PN, but to get one in a complete kit would be even more than the power unit I want. Speaking of...

BagintheBack I've been thinking about the Vibra Groomer III as an option, more specifically, the Sweep N' Groom variant. However, I personally like the looks of the Whirlpool nozzles better. Also, I've heard others say similar things about Lindhaus nozzles not performing well, which if that's...

BagintheBack That was kinda the whole idea as to why I would contact my local Beam/Vacuflo dealer... Regarding attachment kits, that's something I'm a little uncertain over now. While I still really want to get an MD Stealth kit, those things are almost 3x as expensive as the OVO power unit I...

Dusted off this project lately I've been thinking once more about this project, and some of the potential complications that may come with it. For starters, about who is going to install it. I still want to have some control in how the system is installed, but If possible, I'd rather not spend...

"A bagless Sebo?... They made a *bagless*... Sebo?" "They had the NERVES, TO HAVE ONE OF THE GREATEST VACUUM MANUFACTURES OF ALL TIME, MAKE A BAGLESS, SEBO!??!!?!?!" "NOPE!!! NO!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!!! DOES NOT HERJIOGHTITJIOIRRFFEW!!!"

What in the name of Scott Fetzer is that? (no offense though, that's actually pretty cool and clever).

It seemed that Bissell in the late 90s to early 2000s had a business partnership with 3M, as not only did they make a bunch of vacuum bags and filters with their filtration material in them, but they also came out with this, the Scotchgard applicator tool. From what I've gathered, it was a tool...

Dump out bag Sanitares I got a bit of heat when I made an entire thread about my disdain for machines with dump-out bags, and while I may not have taken some things into account then, for the most part, my opinion has stayed the same. I've seen so many Sanitares and Sanitare clones in...

I can attest. I went to a Holiday Inn on a trip like 2 years ago, and I saw two Bissell Powerforce machines. If you're going to buy a Bissell for commercial use, at least get either the bagged Powerforce or the BigGreen BGU1514T. At a Quality Inn I stayed at during another trip, I saw a handful...

nicloonic I remember seeing one that was NIB at a thrift store, but I didn't pick it up sadly. There are plenty of ads for them on Youtube, and they pop up on Ebay semi-frequently, and I was briefly considering getting one to use as a spot cleaner.

Rugsucker You're right, but there was also a Scooby-Doo version available. I think it's a neat concept- making real hand-held/stick vacuums for kids. It'd teach them the basics of vacuuming and such from a young age. Plus, the translucent plastic is giving me Frutiger Aero vibes. It's a shame...

Probably a bit late to the party but... My dad bought this Bauer Shop Vac like 2-ish years ago. Our family was avid Shop-Vac brand owners, but after they've seemingly become less prominent in recent times, my dad made the switch. For a cheap hardware store Shop Vac, it was actually a decent...

PanasonicVac If that's the case, then does that mean that brushrolls on vacuums are damaging to carpets? Also, I probably should've mentioned this at the beginning of this thread, but our carpets are already extremely worn out, and are due for replacement (which is a shame, as i really like...

KirbyLux77 I'd rather not have to wait for one to pop up online, and even if one did, it'd probably be used. Also for the record, lots of professional carpet cleaners do use forms of brushes. They may not be built into the extractors' nozzles, but they do use them in the forms of other...

kirbylux77 I thought those Platinum Force machines were discontinued years ago by tti once they dropped Royal as one of their brands. How would I be able to find one new? I've already discussed why a SteamVac is probably out of the question, but I especially wouldn't want any of the lower-end...

PanasonicVac Like I said, I'd be totally fine with a full-size Hoover, but the question is more so if my mom would be fine with it as well.
