    Vanguard, another vacuum/extractor combo

    Came across this odd machine on Ebay and thought I'd share photos from the listing. It's design is unusual it seems to use bags for dry pickup https://www.ebay.com/itm/226465137794

    Electrolux PN-1 Power Nozzle 3 Row Brush

    I may be mistaken I thought the 3 row brush was intended for the Hospital edition of the model G.

    New Orphans Adopted by Casa Electrolux

    You can't hide They will find you! Even when you're not looking for them they seem to make their way towards you. Anyways those are fun machines especially the constellation. Enjoy them!

    Looking to buy a full size carpet cleaner.

    Hmm.... I don't have a ton of experience with modern consumer grade shampooers. I will say i'm distrustful of many of the bissell shampooers simply due to their complexity. I've kind of thought that if i had to purchase one it would probably be a hoover power scrub, while I know the quality has...

    Printed Brush Strip Adapters for Concept and Celebrity

    Nice! 3d printing can be a solution to some unavailable parts. I had a local guy print off a new endcap for my dirt devil platinum force when the original broke. He suggested using a reinforced resin for it due to better heat resistance. It was called rigid 4K I love seeing this sort of...

    I found a ProTeam ProForce 1500XP In The Trash.

    Too bad! Unfortunate that it was missing vital components! You should know though that these used a much stronger motor than the original Electroluxs The one i've got has a 2 stage domel made motor. I quite like the machine it is supposed to be my daily driver due to it's features and low cost...

    Dirt Devil HEPA bags?

    Royal branded There was hepa bags made for the dirt devil U. They were made under the royal brand and typically came in a 2 pack https://vacuumdirect.com/products/royal-type-u-hepa-filtration-vacuum-bags-2-pack-genuine-royal?variant=35783699401

    What are the point of looped handles?

    A guess I think they're probably more comfortable or usable for people with low grip strength. Oreck's Helping hand was, if memory serves, approved by some arthritis group which makes leads me to think that.

    Picked up a Westinghouse Wired Deluxe WST1550

    Neat You don't seem to see too many of those Westinghouse versions pop up. I am curious though what's the bin setup like? It doesn't look like the typical dual cyclonic setup I'm used to seeing in a Fantom machine.

    Rug doctor acquired by Bissell?

    Saw some ads this morning that said Rug Doctor by Bissell. I can't help but wonder why this merger was done. I feel like the big green was a superior machine to the classic Rug doctor.

    Riccar Spirit

    Prima discontinued I see. Rumors abound on this board so when i read something that seems....iffy I like to check it out and I've found no other sources. When I mentioned it to another collector who formerly worked for a Riccar dealer he seemed quite surprised by that mentioning the R+D that...

    Bissell made "Pig" predecessor

    Hmm... Is the email in your profile current? I was just checking to see if you had a discarded housing for a 7.2" motor. I'm looking to make a "pod" to connect to my canavac so that I can try out a series motor machine. Already got a matching motor that was "Open box" for a good price.

    Bissell made "Pig" predecessor

    Intesting I just assumed it was the Bissell we're all familiar with but to know it was another company entirely is interesting. BTW I sent an email off to you asking about a motor shell It's probably in your junk folder

    Riccar Spirit

    Prima discontinued? What's your source on that? I've been unable to find any other sources so i'm a little curious. I like the performance of my tandem air canister but i will say having worked on one now it's easy enough to work on but the build quality could be better and the main motor could...

    Bosch Upright SK 1

    Interesting! We've seen some similarly styled machines over the years from GE, Atrix and Lindhaus But i'm almost certain their bags wouldn't be compatible If you're feeling up to you could design a 3d printed adapter to use a more common bag type. Tinkercad is pretty user beginner friendly.

    Bissell made "Pig" predecessor

    Came across this on an auction site. I've heard mention of it but never seen one before. It's pretty clearly quite old and it looks to be missing it's wheels and outer bag. https://hibid.com/lot/213610999/bissell-vacuum?ref=lot-list

    Miele Guard series

    Hmm.... I think the L1 looks kinda ugly, and almost cheapened like one of those Swedish electrolux badged machines we had. I also question why it has app connectivity, I can understand that for a robotic machine but for an actual corded vacuum it just seems....ridiculous. I know there's a trend...

    WTB Lower amperage eureka upright for project.

    Found one! for 2.50 no less lol. I'm planning to change the base out so i can use the more modern hex ended brushroll since i've got a spare VG2 laying around. and replace the metal fan since some of the fins seem a little bent.

    I bought a Stentria II!

    Huh... Surprised no one's said it yet but what you have isn't a Sentria II but a Sentria. They're the same machine with a different look though so not like you're missing any performance.
