Application Yesterday, I found some #2 white lithium grease and brake cleaner at my local Fred Meyer, and today, I went to work. I sprayed brake cleaner onto the axle, and lots of gunk came out of it. Once it was as clean as possible, I applied grease liberally onto the bearing, and now it...

Electroluxxxx Where can I find #2 grease that is reasonably priced? I've never worked with grease before.

Yesterday, I figured out how to dismantle the brush roll on my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lift-Off vacuum, which isn't turning smoothly. I popped off the end caps using a small, flathead screwdriver, and there was quite a bit of hair wrapped around the inner axles. After removing the hair, I was...

Electroluxxxx Since I am unable to get the fan casing apart, would you like me to mail the motor to you? The gasket has been placed in a Ziploc bag, and the seam is a bit mangled. I also took a picture of the wiring prior to disconnecting the motor, so I know how to reconnect it. If I'm doing...

Unfortunately... I CANNOT get my motor apart at ALL! Hammering sideways doesn't get the fan cover off, and the fan nut just won't budge, despite using brute force. This motor, which came out of a 2000 Fantom Fury, had to be modified in order to be used in a 1998 model. Because newer Fury...

Well... Using a flathead screwdriver and hammer, I pounded away at the seam, but the first fan case just won't come off at all. It feels like it's glued together super tight.

Following up on the issues with the off-balance fans on my 12 amp Fantom Fury, I decided to take a shot at disassembling the motor. After disassembling the vacuum down to the motor, I disconnected the three motor wires (yellow, white and black) from the vacuum body, then I looked for a way to...

I've owned my Eureka NER300 robot vacuum cleaner for a few months, and it has been a great deal for a sub-$200 robot. Here are my thoughts on it. First of all, I have a fancy Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 robot vacuum that runs every night downstairs, where the floor is all laminate. So I have the...

My dad also got this robot vacuum for free from Amazon Vine! This one will be used for the upstairs carpets. I've never used a Eureka robot vacuum before, so this will be exciting!

My review The Deebot runs every night at 10:30 pm without fail. The machine has learned the downstairs floor; one night it got caught on a cord under our entertainment center and let out this pitiful message: "Please help me out." I obeyed its pleas, and the robot just continued cleaning. Since...

Today The new upper cord hook arrived in the mail. Luckily, Bissell included a return label for this item, so I can easily return it via FedEx if I have the need to.

Another drawback Because of how small the dust cup is, when vacuuming up large amounts of pet hair, like from a shaved dog, the hair gets wrapped around the primary separator, which has to be pulled out by hand. My dad noticed this while he was testing the vacuum for review.

My dad got this vacuum for free from Amazon Vine. It's a 2-in-1 corded stick and handheld vacuum with a detachable, motorized floor nozzle. It's essentially a Shark Rocket knockoff. He got this vacuum primarily for use on our stairs. I tried the vacuum out on a rug, and it's a pretty powerful...

My dad just got this robot vacuum for free from the Amazon Vine program. It can simultaneously vacuum & mop floors, and it features intelligent obstacle learning technology, an advanced mapping system, and a camera for easy monitoring. What do you think?

I have to say I (name is Nick, not Nic) generally show polite manners on this site. All of what Blakaeg said is true, though. I just wanted to vent out my frustrations with a vacuum cleaner company's customer service department. I am fully aware that there are bigger issues in life than...

Earlier today, I emailed Bissell's customer service department (their staff is reduced due to COVID-19) about getting a replacement handle (for free under warranty) for my Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Lift-Off vacuum, after the cord clip broke earlier this year. Here's what I said: "I've had this...

panasonicvac I completely agree with you on clear hoses; it's pretty annoying to see how dirty they get after just a few uses. Actually, this principle applies to any clear part on a vacuum; it doesn't matter if it's a bagless dirt cup or brushroll cover.

News flash! I found out that the hose on my Bissell DOES includes a locking mechanism!!! I took the hose off and looked at the vacuum inlet, and there ARE slots and tabs on the inlet and hose collar, respectively. I turned the hose collar clockwise, this time with some force, and it locked in...

I'm currently in the midst of refurbishing my Fantom Fury (yet again), as it smells pretty bad during use. So I'm attempting to take apart the cyclone assembly, but I just can't disassemble it completely! Everything's stuck together. First, I removed 5 Phillips screws on the back and pulled the...

I gifted my mom with an Air Steerable upright last year for Valentine's Day, and she loves how light it is, particularly for her small apartment with no pets.
