    EdenPure Bio SpeedClean Fan Substitute?

    I have an EdenPure Bio SpeedClean Oreck clone thing, but the fan is busted. I tried fitting a regular Oreck fan, and it fit, but the blades are curving in the wrong direction. The Oreck fan blades curve in a counterclockwise direction, but I need a fan that has blades curving in the clockwise...

    Dyson DC04 Motor Transplant?

    Hi all. I've had an idea for quite some time now. I live in the USA, but I want a Dyson DC04 that is able to run on 120VAC 60Hz. Would it be possible to buy and import a Dyson DC04, and swap the motor and cord with the motor and cord from an American Dyson DC07? I figured that since the DC04 and...

    WTB: Kirby DS80

    I'm looking for a Kirby DS80 (preferably under $70, including shipping). It's my favorite model and I've been wanting to get my hands on one. I prefer original unrestored condition. As long as it runs, I'm happy. I don't mind replacement bags or cords.

    Need Some Hoover Elites Identified

    When I was younger, both my grandmother and great grandmother had Hoover Elite style vacuum cleaners. I would like to find out the exact model of those two Hoovers. I don't have any pictures unfortunately, but I do have vivid descriptions. I'll start off with the one my grandmother owned. It was...

    Reasonable Price For A Coffee Can Hoover?

    Hello all! I have quite a few vintage vacuums already, but I lack what is a must have for any collector, and that is a "coffee can" style Hoover! However, as I have never delved into the realm of old Hoovers, I have no idea where to start! The most important thing to me is that it runs. I could...

    Sanitaire PowerForce

    I was browsing the Sanitaire website when I came across these peculiar vacuums. They seem to be standard Bissell PowerForce vacuums, but with a metal handle. There also was a rebranded Simplicity Freedom Cordless Upright. I know Bissell bought Sanitaire after Eureka was sold to Midea, but this...

    Bissell PowerForce Compact 2112 Honest Review

    So about a month ago, I bought one of those little PowerForce Compact Wally-World specials for kicks and giggles (I like to test cheap vacuums occasionally). Over the course of a month, I have grown to despise the damn thing. Also, keep in mind that this vacuum is no longer $35 like it used to...

    Some Dirt Devil 103 Literature For Your Perusal

    I found my Royal 103 literature in my box of attachments. I didn't see any Dirt Devil stuff on Automatic Ephemera, so I figured I'd post it here.

    Is Simplicity Now Made By Bissell?

    I noticed this while looking at Simplicity's lineup. Apparently, their bagless upright has the same handle as the Bissell AeroSwift. This leads me to believe that some of the Simplicity line is made by Bissell, or their manufacturing company. Tom Gasko, is there any truth to this? The first pic...

    My Opinions On The New Rug Doctor

    Some of you may or may not be aware of Rug Doctor's recent design changes. They binned the old tried-and-true design in favor of a new design. I rented one and wasn't too happy with it. For starters, they have ditched their famous vibrating brush in favor of a rotating brush. The thing about the...

    Trash Find Bissell

    Found this thing near a dumpster a few days ago. I cleaned it up and I'm trying to get $26 for it on LetGo.

    Ridgid HD1200 Wet/Dry Vac

    So yesterday, we got fed up with our little Bucket Head Vac that goes on a five gallon bucket. We went out to Home Depot and picked up this 12 gallon Ridgid WD1200. Very happy with it.

    Midea Eureka looks like a Bissell

    I saw this little fella at Wal-Mart, and I noticed that the design is similar to something Bissell would make. The brush is identical to the one used on the new Bissell PowerForce Helixes, and the cyclone is similar to the one in the PowerForce Compact. Is Midea associated with Bissell? Please...

    Best cordless stick vac?

    Okay, so my mom recently got a Bissell Bolt for the downstairs, and she was so impressed with it that she wants another one for the upstairs. It needs to be bagless, cordless, and somewhat powerful. It also needs to be under $80. If it were up to me, we'd be getting a quality bagged vacuum, but...

    Is Bissell deliberately trying to sabotage their vacuums?

    So when I went to clean out the hose on my 2018 Bissell PowerForce Helix, I found these little teeth inside of the hose. Now, these were up in the hose coupling end, and it looks like they would catch hair and cause a clog quite easily, causing premature motor failure. Is this a deliberate...
