Do yourself a favor... These cord reels are not hard to get at. When they get stuck, which is a common Miele problem.....German technology, right? OK. If you are comfortable taking it apart...I mean open the machine and take out the assembly. Blast it clean with an air compressor. Then where...

Hey Guys! Can anyone tell me anything about this canister vacuum cleaner? It's a Nilfisk Advance Family model CDF2040. It came with an electric hose and a non-electric hose, two floor brushes-one is for very large areas and other is a bare-floor and carpet type with a two-position lever. The...

Miele Tools Hey Guys! Just wanted to share this bit of info with you all regarding Miele tools particularly. A few years back, I started finding Miele canisters at GWs and various thrift stores. Many only had the hose and coincidentally, most of the machines I found were straight suction...

Looking for a Kirby G3 Outer bag complete with emptor. Newer or older style is fine. Do you have one for sale?

Royal Hand Vacs IMHO.....the Royal hand vacs and even the Red Dirt Devil hand vacs like the model 103 are fantastic and well made. Though they can appear to be cheaply made perhaps because of their red color, I have found them to be fairly sturdy. And, these little devils (pardon the pun) will...

Belt Pulley Have you inspected the belt pulley? Is it worn down? You will know if it is very thin in the center. Is the rug plate warped or bent? That can also be a factor. Without seeing it, it can be hard to assess. Sometimes, the Sanitaires have such strong suction that when the bag is new...

Compact Edgar, You say you never seen or used a Compact. You've got to get one my friend! You will wonder how you ever lived without one! They are nice sturdy built machines that are easy to work on. The CXL or DXL are two very nice models! Do yourself a favor and get one ASAP! You will not...

The Latex may adhere.....but Hey Billy! We share the same birthdate! LOL!! Edgar, sometimes some of the plastic could be questionable but then again I have seen OEM parts be somewhat inferior, too, at times! Quality is not so important these days as is price point. My educated guess is...

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 an...

Lift Off Thanks for your interest guys, but I no longer have it. I gave it to someone who needed a vacuum.

Check to see Check to see if one end of the agitator has the thin metal flexible washer/springy thing on it. It's the side that has the end cap with the rectangular shaped nub with two rounded sides. That serves as a stabilizer.

Cleaning the huge filter I have one of these machines and it's great! The motor is quality made and quiet, too! To clean the filter you simple hold it over a pail and turn the inner ring clockwise using the short white stem which makes a clicking sound and causes it to tap rapidly thus shaking...

Adios Toreador Check your gmail....

Can you guess what it is? When I was a kid, our neighbor across the side street would entertain us kids particularly during the summer months. After all, she was recently retired after 43 years as a kindergarten teacher and had packed her front porch with everything she had taken home from her...

Simply Turbo360... Simply use quad-grade (0000) steel wool-DRY first as though you are polishing it. It will remove several layers of dirt. This is for the aluminum parts only. [It will make for easier polishing later.] Then use an air compressor if you have one or a blow dyer or exhaust end...

Rattling noise That sounds normal to me-at least from I can tell from listening to a recording. As long as it propels forward and reverse it should be fine. Often times the sound is emitted from the transmission winding down. I really wouldn't worry about it as long as it seems to operate just...

Hey guys! I have a Bissell ProLite (3561-2) that baffles me. Something is very odd with mine at the top of the bag. It appears there should be something along with the screw anchoring the bag to the handle but I am not sure. When I got this machine, I believe this small 1-inch black plastic...

Pertaining to the after-market hoses... Guys, there is nothing wrong with the after-market hoses. I prefer them to the poor quality of the older Lux cloth or saran hoses that were lined with rubber which obviously did not stand the test of time. The after-market hoses like Tom G. said, differ...

Hey Guys! Hey guys! Thanks for the tips. I will give it a try. Perhaps several options together may work best!

Thanks! Perhaps I'll give it a shot.
