Yup, and that clogging pleated HEPA Filter before the motor? No thanks! Why would I pay a hefty price for that when I can just buy a Chinese clone on Amazon that has that same style filter before the motor?!

Absolute Rainbow - For me, the reason I chose Samsung is because, unlike Dyson, their cyclone is washable! For me, that is a HUGE ISSUE! I knew someone who asked me to take apart and clean their Dyson V6 cyclone....it was really dirty and musty smelling. That was easy to take apart and do. But...

Ya, I noticed the pic of the day was gone this morning too! One other thing that has gone missing is the Archives....Alan said he would be bringing it back and was working on it, but so far it's still missing :(

Good luck with the sale :)

That's a attachment for Filter Queen canisters. You use it with moth crystals and the hose to fumigate closets back in the old days.

Cheesewonton - the Riccar 1700 is indeed a Daewoo machine that Tacony eventually produced at the St James, Missouri plant. Go onto Partswarehouse.com and look at their diagrams and repair parts, it's obvious. And I agree with you - I have a Simplicity Gusto.6, and it's a great vacuum, cleans...

I will believe that when I see it! Tacony Corporation was VERY FOOLISH to end production of the Riccar Prima/Simplicity Wonder. They put all that development cost only to get a few short years out of it? And now all we get from Tacony is that rebadged Simplicity Scout canister that's a rebadge...

Reggie - I must totally agree with you on this! Anyone that would dare to use dish soap to clean a rug has to have FOOL plastered on their forehead! Even if dish soap did get a stain out of carpeting, the amount of residue left behind would be even worse than if you used a old fashioned carpet...

Yes, that's part of it. Plus like you said it was imported from France for only about 1.5 to 2 years I think. It was replaced immediately by the Dimension 1000. The UK members here, if you look in the archives, quite liked this canister. And therefore it probably had a good following by the...

WOW!!!!! You do realize you have one of the RAREST canister vacuums in North America, let alone what Hoover offered and made right? I would strongly suggest you NOT sell that vacuum to Cheesewonton! Take it off here, and put it up on Ebay IMMEDIATELY! And make sure you ask AT LEAST a $2,000...

Ok....first of all, I can't say I have specific experience with Great Pyrenees hair. But, what I CAN tell you, is one of the keys to this is rather simple - maintenance! Yep, if you want a powerhead that will last a long time and not have to replace brushrolls all the time, you MUST get in there...

Are you sure that is the right handle to begin with? It could be for a 500 series Kirby since it is red. That would explain why it doesn't fit properly.

Charles, don't be such a Negative Nancy! The canister is in very nice condition, and the price is fair.

Cheesewonton - the situation with TriStar here in Canada must have been different than America's then. I can honestly say NOT ONCE have I opened up a TriStar CXL or DXL to find a 116884-49 as the original motor. And it's easy to tell by how worn the carbon brushes are of course as to whether...

Paging Alan our Webmaster..... Look, how long do we have to put up with this RUDE, IGNORANT, ARROGANT British Asshole?!?!?! This guy has offended SO MANY members on here it's not even funny! I am sure there are other members on here who have had ENOUGH of this user. Anyone out there who sees...

Much agreed Alex! Those Ametek single stage motors in Pansonic and Kenmore uprights were easy to replace carbon brushes in, were repairable, and seemed to last forever. Plus I think they had slightly more waterlift and airflow than the Panasonic upright motors did. Those uprights with the Ametek...

Cheesewonton, the 116311-00 was the double stage motor used in the TriStar CXL and DXL! The 116884-49 was used in the Patriot, Airstorm and Vita Vac canisters. I know because I have personally owned and taken apart all 3 machines! The 116884-49 may produce 95" waterlift versus 92" waterlift for...

Huskyvacs - Numatic & Henry vacuums USED to use Panasonic motors. That was from late 90's to about 2010 or so. Then in the last 15 years, they switched to Ametek Italia 4.3" diameter single stage motors in the Henry canisters. The exception being the Henry & Hetty HVR200 canisters, those use a...
