@ dysonman1 Thank you. Nice to know I made a better guess based on pictures alone than I believed I did.

"Googling" didn't produce much. I have a Hesco catalog that would cover the parts for that machine. With the exact model in question would be easier to see if if they are still available from several suppliers.

There nothing wrong with that approach.

The unsafe cord design makes sense to change that for all users. Years ago we had an account that OSHA visited often. We would get a call from the customer if the grounding prong was broken off the end of the cord. OSHA would write the customer up for it. OSHA was ok with a proper repair with...

I like the idea of the crosswave. That I wouldn't mind taking out for a test drive.

Try this link there are two different models listed. https://www.vacpartsplusstore.com/catalog/hamilton-beach-m-1083.html

human Glad to hear there are still demands for quality products no mater what platform they use. The problems you describe would set me off as well. I want it to work as close to new after a repair as it did before the part(s) failed.

The suggestion here has been to stay with a physical Filter of some type as opposed to the cyclonic separation models. Which makes sense any particle not heavy enough to be spun out of the air stream will pass thru the system. Much like some particles don't wet easy and bounce off the water in...

The Sentria is a nice machine. I use mine more than my Heritage II.

Oh yes better Air flow will do that. My grandmother made the same comments that any carpet she picked up didn't have the heavy dust or dirt under them since she got a Kirby. The rental I am in had new carpet and padding when I moved in. After 20 years the carpet was worn out. It was a velvet...

Are the replacement brush rolls now the same design as what is in the G series machines. I haven't needed to purchase new brush roll. I did see them on the Kirby website and wondered if they had been updated or just a stock picture that was modified to reflect the ends for that model.

I'm thinking then it more about the density of the pile. I have plush carpet as well but not the high end plush. vacuuming one direction is hard. vacuuming in the opposite direction or side to side is much easier. Sometimes it is hard to find the right setting for good contact with out to...

I'm not a huge fan of canister type vacuums. I like the unit in front of me. However I would think that the "retro" style canister would do a very good job.

W-40 or similar and a pair of pliers to work the claps a little has helped me a few times free them up. Or a Dry lubricant. That won't drip and leave oily stains. I have some at work but can't think of the name of it at the moment.

Looks like it would take a bag shaped like a tube. Hoover celebrity bag. possibly? Can't remember what the Connie bag looks like. Maybe an option.

Talk about some serious grooming action. That is it. I can imagine belts and the gears to operate both agitators failing from all the additional stress. Wonder how the carpet manufactures felt about that machine. As some wont warranty carpet if you use a Dyson due to the very stiff brush tufts.

What style of carpet are you finding the machine hard to vacuum? If it is a looped carpet setting and finding setting 2 is just a little to high and setting 1 is too low. Maybe a screw that is a little longer may help with the micromatic adjustment. When I sent my Heritage II in for rebuild...

What a nice work shop to perform miracles. Anthony If it is the only one you have to clean things up it is what you use. I Kept my old 18' wide dish washer when I bought a new one. Some day I hope to be able to used it for the same purpose.

I too was thinking maybe at some point the seal was broken where the bag and the cover meet there by letting some hair by pass thru the opening. As hard as anyone has tried it is hard to make the perfect seal in this situation. And or checking to see if it was time to change the bag a small...

It is hard for folks that appreciate and enjoy collecting the more utilitarian items in life most just take for granted. Goodwill, Salvation Army stores etc are or were a great place for collectors. Find that one Item you really want and it is a great shopping day. You can still find the...
