    Sirena Vacuum, broken hose clip

    I broke the clip on the Sirena vacuum hose.  This is the part that latches onto the vacuum.    Does anyone know if you can repair the hose end, or will I need to replace the entire hose.  It seems like a big expense $94.90, to replace an obviously weak part.  Just hoping the clip can be...

    WoW, People really are stupid

    At least when it comes to mechanical things, or something to do with life, or vacuums. One of the supervisors here was vacuuming her office prior to a meeting. The office has a Bissell Powerforce, bagged. Said supervisor didn't think it was picking up very well, so she asks her assistant...

    Maybe this is the reason some can't keep a vacuum very long

    Yesterday afternoon I was just getting home from work when I saw the new neighbor across the street come home as well. She unloaded a box with a new Shark Vacuum from the back of her SUV. Later I was waiting outside for my daughter's school bus when I see said neighbor on the porch with her...

    Need Help with a Sebo Power Nozzle

    I just recently acquired a Sebo C3.1 with a ET1 power nozzle.  I got it for a song compared to the prices of Sebos on ebay.  The listing said Nozzle needed a belt.  It didn't.    The belt is in fine condition, however, the power nozzle is non working.  It does give me a light when it is in...

    "Never Been Used" Kirby on Ebay

    If never used, it wasn't stored very well. Wheels are scuffed, badly oxidized.    Still think the dude be on crack if he thinks he's getting $1,499 for it.    If the seller is one of the members here, sorry to judge your crack habits.  ...

    I recently won two commercial Royal Everlast on EBay. One a a Royal 886 the other a Stark branded Royal RY8800. The 8800 has a broken fan. Question: Does all the Metal Royals take the same fan? I have seen some insane prices from $39 - $75. All are nine blade aluminum. Are these all the...

    I bought an Oreck

    I was trolling ebay, when I came upon a listing for an Oreck XL Dave Oreck signature edition. The listing said "for repair, wife said she smelled something burning, and just bought a new vacuum." "It had been a good vacuum, I hope someone can repair it, it's very clean." It was very clean...

    Kirby of Wichita is gone

    I drove down East Central a few weeks ago and noticed the Kirby office was closed. I just did a search on the Kirby.com website and it confirmed that Kirby of Wichita is gone. This is the first time that I know of in at least 65 years that there isn't a Kirby distributor in Wichita. I am...

    Looking for a handle for a Lux

    This is not a thread to rant about an E-bay purchase, as I have always had a good experience with my purchases.   I bought a Lux Ultra Upright U160A last week for a good price $20.50, shipping was outrageous $41.99, but hey I got it cheap.   Unfortunately the seller shipped the machine...

    Today's POD 06-11-2015

    I was just wondering about the Lewyt in today's P.O.D. It struck me that this Lewyt bore a resemblance to Filter Queen. What capture system did the Lewyt use. Were they bagged, or a filter in the tub type?
