Hi! I am starting to restore my hoover convertible but I can't get the hood off. Help please!

Any info on this would be great! It's been my grandmas vacuum for years and she still uses it but her main driver is either an Oreck or a Hoover. This kenmore mainly just sits in hue closes and collects dust, but when I was little I used to use it all the time and I remember me and my cousin...

My dad picked this one up for me, it's the Dyson DC07 and it was completely disgusting when I got it. Clogged bin, clogged cyclone, clogged hose and destroyed brushroll. I had to but a bunch of new parts for it and here's the result. I also had to install a new cord since the old one was cut...

Please help me find out a little bit more about this vacuum! Check out my other thread. It's called "Sunday Funday, vintage find"

Here's my trash find Yesterday I found this diamond in the rough, it's a Sanitaire Deluxe. I'm not exactly sure how old it is. I found this one at the scrap yard.

Another Photo Here's a close up

Yesterday was a great day to find a vintage vacuum! Ever since I was little, I always loved going to the scrap yard to see what I could find. One time I found four Hoover Windtunnels. I wasn't able to keep any of them because they were all damaged by water. This past Saturday I also went to the...

These are just my collection of Orecks. Models: 2450,3700,3600,9200s,9100C,3800,3120. Currently I have seven not counting my two canisters and my rechargeable stick vac. Thoughts about my collection? Are any of my Orecks rare? Here's how I got them: I got the 2450 from my aunt, I got the 3700...

This vacuum is one of my earliest childhood vacuums, it's a Hoover Windtunnel but I know nothing about it! All I know is that it doesn't work, it was my mom's daily driver and it's a Hoover. That information doesn't really help but I am hoping that some of you know something about this model...

Last week was a great day for finding vacuums! Last Saturday I went to my local flea market and left with something small but good for vacuuming out cars: a Euro-Pro Ultra Shark hand vac. I got it for $5 and I was happy with that because with school starting, I don't really have anytime to look...

Hi, i just got a new oreck and I was wondering if I put the wires for the motor back in the right place

Yay! I found one of my childhood vacuums! It's an Oreck XL3700! My grandma had one but it was thrown out. Do you have an Oreck? What model? Let me know what you think about my Oreck. Do you have any of your childhood vacs? What are they? Please tell me what date my new to me Oreck was...

Hello Vacuumland! Yesterday I ordered off of ebay, a Kirby Heritage 84 for only 30 dollars with free shipping. I never intended that i would ever but a kirby off of eBay because i mainly buy Orecks, but out of curiosity, I searched for Kirby's on eBay and found this one. (Now I am obsessed with...

After a complete cleaning of my Aunts Kirby Classic II, I plugged it in and a little light appeared above the on/off switch and the vacuum wouldn't turn on. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Today, my aunt dropped off her Kirby Classic II at my house so I could maintenance it, while I was working on it, I decided to take a look at the nozzle. I removed it and unscrewed the screw that holds on the belt on/off thing. When I removed the screw, the whole thing fell apart and now I have...

Orecks Hoovers Fantoms Hello! I am interested in really any Orecks such as the commercial duel stack in one of the pictures. I don't really know the value of that nice Oreck but I might be interested if it was below 100 dollars. Also if you he any Hoover Elite style machines I would be very...

Yesterday, I was lucky to find my first trash find in a long time. It was a Dirt Devil Ultra Vision Turbo. That vacuum was lucky to have a spa day, in which I disassembled the whole thing and completely scrubbed everything down. Today I reassembled the Dirt Devil and turned it on and used the...

Today while driving to my grandmother's house I noticed a handle sticking out one of my grandma's neighbors junk pile, at first I disregarded it and thought it was just a broom handle but I drove by, I could see the whole thing and realized it was a Dirt Devil Ultra Vision! I asked my mother if...

Yesterday, me and my mother picked up a Hoover Lightweight upright to replace my grandmas 14+ years old Oreck. We got it at Sears for 300 dollars with the canister. Also at Sears was the Oreck Magnesium, which was quite odd looking and I couldn't believe how TTI messed up Orecks traditional...

Just to let everyone know, I am also Oreckboy, but something went wrong with that account, so I made this one. If you have seen any of my forums, if it was Oreckboy or this acoount, you probably know that I love Orecks! They are my favorite modern vacuum brand. Even though some people say...
