Awkward Tool use had to be awkward, considering the Kenmore's had to have the handle lowered to turn on the vacuum...did most Kenmore's have the power control like this?

Hi, Does anyone know where I could find a complete brush roll assembly for my 1980 Sears Best Powermate Canister? I looked on Sears Parts Direct and EBay and nothing...Is another brushroll manufacturer compatible? I'm thinking a rainbow might be a match by what I'm seeing on EBay but not 100%...

the Eureka Power Mite Walmart advertised for $25.00 is in stores now for $19.00, at least here in Raleigh....I purchased one today for $19.00...I may open it and use it in the garage or leave it sealed and sell it on Ebay 20 years from now...lol...I almost never go to Walmart, but stopped in...

Vintage: Hoover Spirit Canister, top of the line in grey/black. Current: Miele Capricorn Canister, top of line. I had a Miele S5980 and sold it over a year ago and it was one of the best vacuums I ever owned...

Congrats, very cool...I never heard of a Dimension 900 either...always thought it was the Dimension 1000 line of canisters...

Kenmore Destiny? Didn't Kenmore badge it first as the Destiny? or was it the other way around, Fantom sold it as a Kenmore Destiny?

1975 Sears Best = Childhood Vacuum My childhood vacuum was the Kenmore canister, my parents purchased it in 1975, this replaced a Hoover 1030, which I still have. I was 2...but it was the main vacuum for the bulk of my childhood...It was such a great vacuum...it was the apple/celery green/wood...

Lux Classic I'll take one of those Lux Classic {far right} models in picture 4, lol

I agree, if you bid on a item and you win the item, payment should be immediate. I'm sure they're watching the item up until the last second to increase their bid, etc... I had to open a case on a item recently as well...took 6 days to receive payment. At the minimum communicate to me that...

I stopped at the local Oreck store and wasn't impressed...I really don't need another vacuum cleaner but was suprised to see a full size Oreck canister...I fulfilled my curiosity...Thanks everyone for your input...

Any opinions and/or thoughts on this new Oreck Quest Pro Canister Vacuum Cleaner? It looks nice, I never owned an Oreck...mainly because their line of canisters were non-existent, at least power nozzle canisters... I may go to the Oreck Store this weekend to see it and test it...

I can't think of any stores that peak my interest to stop and browse the vacuum section...The Sears stores here are okay, fully carpeted and agree that the sales people are sharks...I tell them off though and say if/when I have questions or need assistance, I'll find you, leave me be to...

thanks for sharing, quite a collection there...the photo of that vacuum alone brings back so many memories...was the 4047 produced in the early 70's?  Maybe even 1969/1970?  My mom had a 1030, which I think was purchased around 1972, before I was born...

Hi, What is the model # of the orange/creme model in your first picture?  I cut and pasted the vacuum picture below....My grandmother had one of those for her upstairs when I was a child...I remember playing with that vacuum...lol   Thanks :)

Check EBay constantly, I picked up a set in April of this year, description was Hoover Brush Strips, no marking as too what model they were for, I knew by the picture and color {green}, they were for the quadraflex agitator or at least matched the strips in my Dimension powermatic...It was a...

It's a 2-speed suitcase/box style....see pic...If it is a carbon brush, are parts still around and can I replace myself?  Thanks.

I will be so sad if the motor went on my Kenmore Canister.  It's a 1980's Sears Best Powermate Canister...   Problem...when I turn the canister on, only the powermate goes on, not the canister...this has never happened...Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so, what is it?  I'm thinking...

A Panasonic Canister w/powerhead...not TOL but a nice machine...It was marked $5.00 but everything was 50%...I really don't need another vacuum, but I couldn't resist for $2.50 lol It's in near mint condition as it was an estate sale and the entire home had hardwoods, so the powerhead is...
