Thanks guys! I did everything you guys told me to do and checked everything. What I think it is is that the brush roll MAY NOT be a genuine Royal part and therefore it may cause the belt to function differently. The belt just hangs over the shaft by an 1/8 or maybe a 1/16. It works perfectly...

Thanks my friend! Thanks my friend! I will give it a try! Hey, give me a ring! Or, I can call you!

Good to know! Thanks for that info Husky! I am not surprised that Kirby does this. In a way it makes sense and it's great for guys like us who find these machines later--we get a "new" transmission! But what a waste! Where do these transmissions that have minor issues go? And, you're right...

Hey Ben! My 801 is the near the last of the run so I think it is more on its way to being an 880. Mine looks the same as yours-just that the belt hangs over the spindle instead of sitting a little back from the edge.

Careful.... Hey Les! Be careful thinking the belts look alike because to the naked eye they make look alike BUT the spacing between teeth could be millimeters off. In other words, I believe from what I have heard from reliable sources, Kirby has continuously tweaked the gear ratios which thus...

Yes, Guys! Hey Guys! Thanks for your quick response! Yes, I am aware of the arrow on the rug plate and the direction of the arrow as this also determines that the brushes will sweep from the end to the middle and thrust the dirt up into the impeller. So yes, the brush roll is installed...

Hey Guys! I have a later model 801 Metal Royal Upright with a 4.5 amp motor. Very gently used and in perfect condition. Question is why does the belt hang about 1/8 to 1/16 over the spindle? I did replace the brush roll with a double row brush roll (square end) and I used belt number...

Kirby G5 Belt Most of these transmission belts are the same for the G-series Kirbys. IF and WHEN you need to replace it, JUST make sure you order the belt for the correct model. This way you are sure to get the proper "version" or "revision" as Kirby could have updated the part. The belt is...

Air Freshener Disk AH! I will have to try that! Thanks!

Hey James! I surely will let you know it I find one and yes, John, they are a little loud but not a piercing kinda loud. In other words, it's tolerable while using it. James, does it have to be that EXACT model? Sometimes I find them in other colors as I think this model could have been made...

IMHO--- This was "Hoover's" last attempt at manufacturing anything that was "somewhat" decent. At best I would say they are a crude machine insomuch as some of the plastic components are cheap. The motors are loud and rough sounding, and the hood cover can be a challenge to remove for a bulb...

What brand are those low profile drills? And, where did you get them and how much did they cost?

What is the Can someone tell me what the slit is for on the bag door cover of model U5095-930? I thought mine was missing the "bag full" flag indicator but I guess not? I have seen other pics of this model and it looks the same as mine.

Electric hose Thanks! I do have the electric hose AND the power nozzle. It's a really nice machine!

Thanks fan-of-fans! Thanks so much for the manual!

Hey Guys! Don't know a whole lot about these machines. What belt does it take? Can it use a Panasonic Belt? Also, is this a series 7 machine?

If you think ....the genuine Lux/Aerus hoses aren't chinesium.....think again! Just about everything today is made there. REMEMBER: It's also how well you take care of something that determines how well it will serve you and how long it will last! I'll say it again....I have had no problems...

Try the Bissell Zing Bagged Machine Try the Bissell ZING bagged canister vacuum. It features a lightweight design, variable speed motor for added suction control, telescopic handle and cord winder. Look for it on Bissell's website direct. It's about $59. Others on fleebay are trying to sell it...

Lux hoses More information Hello Guys! From what I was told by a reputable authorized Electrolux Shop (Aerus), the old saran braided hoses were an issue and prone to replacement and far from ideal. Rob had told me that in the day, a customer would bring in the old hose which was then sent to...

Outer Bag Repair Hoover300 Kirby outer bags do often times have small rips and tears, but don't despair! These are easily repaired and I have done several of them. The bag can be washed in COLD water to reduce pilling, and hand sewing will make the bag like new again. Just take the bag with...
