Hi guys! Need help with my model C2. Apparently there must have been something thicker on the front end of the machine bag cover post because the cover doesn't want to stay closed. All there is now is a pin. I wound a rubber band and a twist tie to enlarge it and it seems to lock down properly...

Hey Guys! Looking for a decent used Filter Queen Majestic Crown 95X electric hose, wand, and power nozzle to complete a perfect machine.

Hey Guys! I am baffled! I have the above mentioned model Hoover WindTunnel Model 5491-900. They're all the same basically just with plus or minus features. This one is kind of sharp since it has the "chrome" plate on the front nozzle. It's ice blue and does not have the power-drive feature...

Hey there guys. I just thought I would share this with you. This is an aluminum wheel cleaner for cars made by black magic. I applied it to a Bounty paper towel and smeared it on the aluminum areas of some of my Kirby's. I let it sit for a few minutes and then just wipe it off with a clean paper...

Hey Guys! I recently picked a blue/turquoise Electrolux model L in decent shape with the usual battle scars and minor rust-scratches. At least the wheels are in excellent condition and the motor sounds decent, but.... Does anyone really know why this particular model Electrolux L always has...

Hey Guys! I have a Hoover floor polisher/shampooer model F4300. The problem is when I fill the solution tank it either leaks or the solution will not dispense. There is a small rubber gasket/washer inside the small screw cap at the bottom of the tank where the trigger releases the solution. I...

Hey Guys! I have a Kirby Heritage 84 (orange bag) model with the "Duckcloth" fill tube. The problem is the adaptor where the bag attaches sits to the left. The seams on the fill tube are left to right and appear to sit correctly in the outer bag. It doesn't appear that the fill tube was ever...

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...

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?

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...

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

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...

Is there an easy way to remove vintage hose ends from the hose blank? I have an Air-Way model Mark II with the saran hose. The hose looks great but has low suction to say the least. Sorry guys, I see no reason to keep a bad hose for display purposes only and I am not interested in repairing it...

Hey guys! Several months ago--maybe a year ago--someone posted a comment on here about their favorite song of all time. I played it and liked it a lot. Now, I can't find it! I thought it was a song by Blondie and it was really upbeat. Do you know who you are or does anyone remember the song...

Hey Guys! I have the machine above and I was wondering if someone who has one can answer a question for me? Does the top of the bag, mount to the handle via a screw which passes through the bag docking station, thru the small hole in the outer bag, and then screws into the handle? And, are...

Hey Guys! I'm looking for a Miele canister electric hose for a model S246i in really good condition. Does anyone have one for sale? From what I have heard from a Miele dealer, these older hoses are no longer being made by Miele. There is also no known after-market replacements either. At this...

Hey Guys! Can someone tell me how the hell to separate the body halves of an Electrolux Epic Canister? https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?26026 This thread explains it but I am having a hell of time getting the "locking keys", the white ridged strips that join the two...

Hey Guys! Picked up a Kirby G5 the other day for $20. It's an 8.5 out of 10-just needs a good cleaning. I don't have a G5 in my collection that is all cleaned and shiny though I have several of them waiting in the wings. My question is this: Did Kirby change the screw for the handle back...

Hey Guys! I have a Kenmore canister vacuum model 29520 on ebay selling for a good price. It's item # 173650366130. Take a look at it! If it doesn't sell it's going to get trashed!

Hey Guys! Can anyone tell me how to date a Kenmore Intuition Upright? This one also features PowerFlow technology which according to Sears' website, doesn't lose suction as the bag fills. Mine is the red one which I don't have in front of me so I don't have a pic. But here is a link...
