    Bought a Bissell Crosswave

    Picked this up as a reman unit from Bissell's outlet store on ebay with a 20% off coupon. Only has a 6month warranty but I do not anticipate having many issues with it. As shown in the pic it is a reman and only noticable dirt or evidence of prior use is on the base on the left, just a smudge...

    Need info on a Bissell Power partner 800

    I was given this by one of my vac shops in town. Runs good but I was wondering if this is the same as the older eureka bravos I think they were called. Will bissel 7/9/etc belt work? I can get the style 2 belts they are just hard to find.

    Hoover Commercial Insight 102 Height not Adjusting

    So I picked one of these up from my local vac shop on the cheap. I can see why now after having waited for a new wheel axle to arrive for 2 months it finally got here. Threw it in today without much issue except for the fact that the self adjusting height is not working or doesn't appear to be...

    Kirby 505

    Picked this up from the local habitat for humanity store. Was in the back hidden with the other vacuums. Bought it for 10 bucks. At first I didn’t realize how old it was until I did my own research but it appears to be from 1945. It doesn’t look good cosmetically. I’m pretty sure I will have to...

    Lindell "Litter Gitter" Gas Powered Yard Vacuum

    This thing works really well, I wont be using it much for leaves like its meant for but probably for finer particulate like dirt and such. Finally was able to source a bag for it from the "Billy Goat" brand which works fine with minimal modification to the handle. Follow the link for my video...

    Didn't see any old threads about this mod. But on the base model s7 that does not include a headlight it is in fact possible to add one in. I had another machine my miele dealer had for parts that he wanted out of his shop. Had it close to four years he said and only sold a few parts off it...

    Trashfind and Restored Hoover Elite 200

    I got really lucky a couple weeks ago and picked this off of the curb. This machine was in really bad condition and very dirty. I took the outer bag off and after vacuuming out all the debris from the inside of it, I threw it straight into my washing machine. As for the plastics sans the...

    Hoover U4021

    Picked this up from the curb. Works well and has a new brush roll in it. Threw a new belt on and put in a new bag. Runs well. Some surface rust on the whee axle that I need to clean up also had to wire in a spare cord I had. Scrappers love to cut them off...
