    New Electrolux model

    I'm very glad to see the Type C bag returning to the high end model, and being the standard bag across the canister model line. Its so cool that a bag design that has been in use for 57 years will once again reign supreme.

    Dyson DC15 Paperwork / Stock Images

    As I was going over my Dyson DC15 that I'm selling, I was looking at the paperwork with it. While flipping through the round Quick Guide, I noticed that the drawings show the handle on backwards. I then noticed that stock photos on ebay, that were full color images, were the same way. Were any...

    do you use straight suction on carpet?

    I'd say commercial style carpet only. The pile is so low it really doesn't matter what you use.

    Royal 880 series help!!

    Just out of curiosity, what happened exactly? Snapping a shaft sounds a bit extreme. I'd like to see some pics of this.

    A most fabulous Christmas present!

    It was a suprise to me too. I highly encourage people to do patent searches, not just because you learn who designed your favorite stuff, but it's just a lot of fun too. In the past, I have done patent threads, and they were not too well received. I'm not sure if its the technical language...

    I'm Having Bad Vacuum Luck

    I doubt that what you did was the cause of the problem. I'm wondering if something got caught behind the fan. If this is the case, it might have the problems that you describe, and you might not see anything in the fan. If this is the case, you need to dig in to the machine some more to get to it.

    Lux 1205 issues

    The other problem that I can think of, if it has an aftermarket motor is the tube that runs from the motor opening to the bag chamber not being installed properly. I guess a gasket issue with the original motor would also do it. I suppose an electrical problem could also cause these symptoms...

    Your favorite Hoover Convertible

    Glad to see you back around Charles. With that Hoover, I'd go so far as to say that not only are Hoover Convertibles with cord winders rare, but cord winders are a rare feature on uprights in general. The only other brands I can think of that included cord winders are Eureka and Singer. Its...

    Eureka The Boss 7671

    I think it could be a fair bit trickier than a Sanitare type cleaner, since this is a not an old style Eureka, but an horizontal shaft Bravo style machine. From my readings about this machine, your issues are common.

    Your favorite Hoover Convertible

    Since I don't own any, I'd have to go just by appearance. I think the model 70 would be my choice. Blue is a good color. I might also like the light blue full hood model, don't know the number for that one.

    IS TTI dead?

    They're still alive and kicking. I'd imagine they might be doing some site renovations or something like that. This link might make some people a bit sick, so be careful. http://www.ttifloorcare.com/

    does the lite lux look like this

    My guess is that last thing is a real Aerus design. The headlight and front looks like the same as the 1990s ultralux canister and the lighted models since. I've never seen that before now. Very interesting. I think this is the first full size dirty air design Lux USA has released that has true...

    Fan replacement on a Sanitaire S644B

    I think there should be some springs on the bottom, that release the hood when removed.

    handvac

    To my knowledge, the heritage 2 - legend 2 were mechanically the same unit. There might be minor differences, but nothing huge. I would imagine it will work. Personally, I think the legends had better colors, and the HII was a fairly bland cleaner.

    Oh, so its a mini tank cleaner then? I never knew douglas had such a thing. So I'm guessing its something like this: http://www.metrovacworld.com/Shopping/product.asp?catalog_name=metrovac&category_name=&product_id=VM2B500
