How did you get it to work? It looks like the belt on the first one is off to the side and the second one is a center belt? I'm so confused!

You don't have to take the hose off to check for a clog... just hold the hose as straight as you can and stick a broom handle (starting from the suction end) all the way through until it comes out the hole in the bag chamber... you should be able to feel for a clog and dislodge it if there is one.

I can certainly understand how that would be frustrating! One thing I don't like is the triagular shaped dusting brush, it just doesn't get close enough to the edges... round would be much better. I got mad at my Sebo tonight too (actually a Windsor Sensor S12, but still Sebo)... I spent the...

I think it looks dreadful, but I wonder how it performs compared to the classic spin scrub models...

I have the same one and it makes a similar noise, but the motor sounds fine... I think it is the hose reeling from the suction as it only does it when I first turn it on and first turn it off... is that the same with yours, or is it constant?

I bought mine for 45, used on Craig's List... Upright only, no companion canister. I LOVE it and smile every time I use it... seriously, I want to give it a hug each time. Motor sound is beautiful and it has great agitation... super power and very nimble. It blows most Orecks out of the...

I echo what Dustin said... My Hoover Z 700 has the same set up, and 6 screws have to be taken off every time to clean the stupid filter... if you don't do it, the already abysmal airflow becomes virtually non-existent. The agitation is wonderful, but I got it because it was a unique, niche...

I sold those in 2001/2... well, didn't sell them actually, because NOBODY bought them. The dirt cup fell out, the hose dangled on the floor, the attachments didn't stay on, and I personally thought it was ugly. Cheap, cheap cheap! Not to mention, a it was a heavy beast. The handle release...

I've seen a few videos of that on Youtube, and they do seem cool... thanks for sharing here. I still one one of the bigger ones with a power nozzle, but would never pay what they ask new for one.... I think that's a perfect machine for a situation like you have with no carpets.

Just an update... I bought and downloaded the service manual and it included the instruction manual because I couldn't find it for free anywhere. I called Sharp and they didn't have it available. The copyright is 2001, so that's about what I expected. The manual said "This is a new type of...

Final picture.... "money shot" Looks like a snake sitting there ready to strike at any moment :o) Carry handle extended, and it's a nice handle...

Close up of dirt... this came from a 1 bedroom apartment that was just vacuumed with a Sebo Sensor S12 the night before... I do have a cat, so some of that is cat hair and litter, but a lot of it is just dirt and dust. Most of the carpet is thin flat short pile, which is what this vacuum was...

Another thing I forgot to mention that bothers me is that I can't find a way to get into the exhaust filter to change or clean it... Underside of the nozzle...

Of course I wouldn't be me if I didn't take a ton of pictures and give a detailed opinion, so proceed with caution if you dare :o) If vacuums had a motto, this one would say, "Don't be fooled my my pretty purple plastic, I'm a bad a-- little dude with a serious attitude!" First, I had to...

Rob, the upright you are talking about was called the Kenmore E4, and it was made by Bissell for Sears in the early 2000s... I sold them, but they don't last long because the whole point of a vacuum like that is that it can go flat and that one couldn't because of the bag saver. I liked it...

closer up a little better view...

I went to a Catholic thrift store that I don't get a chance to go to very often... I never see decent vacuums at thrift stores, but this was the one that I got my Kenmore Direct Drive from, so I had a glimmer of hope. I was shocked at their selection... Mostly vintage Hoovers... a...

I think it's hideous, but I've never liked the cheap Bissells anyway.... the Healthy Home and some of the older ones are almost tolerable... Even the Bagless Velocity looks better.... They just stuck a bag on a Bissell Powerforce... Eureaka and Panasonic seem to have done similar things, so...
