It's true could be repaired if all parts needed are available. However that can be an unending repair job. In the end costing even more between repairs to keep the system working and finally in the end complete replacement. At this point maybe best all the way around to replace the system with...

@ n0oxy Reading the article and seeing the picture below the article I can see where that would be a serious issue. The hair and or carpet fuzz especially. That happened to dirty air vacuums often with the carpets of the day when the yarns were not heat set like they are today. We had the...

The dual sweep makes me think of the TV Show Lost In Space and the futuristic ideas that were on that show. The robot comes to mind.

Geez. Good luck on your next surgery. God willing and a few angels you will come thru this one with flying colors as well. 2020 has indeed sucked worse than a vacuum missing the suction fan. Hopefully this will all be behind us soon. The city of Kenosha has become the next burning of Atlanta...

There is Luxury vinyl tile available too in an array of colors and patterns. Commonly referred to as LVT. If you Google LVT flooring you will come up with sites that offer LVT. Some if not all have a textured surface for slip resistance when the floor is wet. No slipping or sliding around on...

If you haven't already done it. Put some large fans blowing across the floor to aid drying. Even if you have to rent some commercial squirrel cage blowers or the newer down draft fans we use in commercial cleaning/restoration to aid drying of floor finish and carpets and or a dehumidifier if...

Oh man concrete is like a giant sponge. Hopefully with the new unit and the air being dried out by the A/C. The floors will return to as close to normal as possible with minimal damage. 50 years for a heating system is excellent sad part is you are the one that had to bite the bullet and...

I remember those discussions my parents had about the phones and the actual service. The long distance charges were some times more than my father wanted to pay. The truth is those days of extra charges for this that and the other thing really aren't that long ago. Sure does seem like it tho...

At the point I can install a central vacuum I may very well walk away from the dual purpose wet/dry unit(s) as that would be a bag less system to accommodate t wet cleaning. From what I was reading a few years back a unit I saw will of course need to drain into the waste lines for wet cleaning...

@human Could possibly have been not a good radio signal out in the garage due to distance from the base station and or building structure. Just like our modern cell phones. Some places you just can't get a signal. Think back some of those rotary dial phones were connected to a party line. Oh...

What is really alarming is the fact that the engineered wood floors are curling up. For the cost of them which is less than solid hard wood flooring. I would be upset over that. That could end up to be an unexpected expenditure to replace those floors. I understand as the humidity drops the...

Pickings have been slim around these parts as well. Which is probably a good thing. As I'm running out of room to store them.

What is the diameter of the hide a hose compared to the more widely known plug into the wall jack hoses?

Ah now there is some nostalgia! A friend of mine was just telling me a story about a young boy he was mentoring. They were at the church and the young boy noticed a rotary dial phone sitting on the desk. (I'm not to sure how long ago this was) The young boy had never seen a phone like that...

I noticed that too. They were also "gang" cleaning in that room as well. A lot of action going on in that room at one time.

Wow. I have two of the Legend II's. So far neither one has had that happen. Is this one you have had since new or an acquisition ? Possible damage from long term exposure to direct sun light. Around here I have seen people store vacuums in and enclosed porch. Could be a bad blend of materials,

It will be interesting to see how the silicone blades work out. There are carpet sweepers with the same type of roller. Never have used one to really see how well it works on a push carpet sweeper. There may be some advantages to it. However is it really worth it? Watch for those...

Oh yes I too like the way the Tech drive handles on the Sentria model over the previous models. My Mother likes the way the Sentria handles compared to the G 4 she used for a while.

Nice selection The Hoover celebrity was a nice vacuum. I got an opportunity years ago to try one out at a neighbors house. The Dirt devil broom vacuum is nice for quick clean ups or even a travel trailer. Just the right size. I would like to have the hose for the one I have. It's same one you...

Mine is in good shape. I even have the brush roll extended past the rug guard about half again as much as recommended and the knurled belt which hasn't slipped a bit. It's the nature of the pre tech drive machines. I have actively used models from 1959 and forward. On vinyl floors to shag...
