I just purchased an Air Storm vacuum that came with a Tristar power nozzle. I took the bottom plate off the power nozzle and was surprised to find that it has a circuit board. It looks identical to my other Tristar power nozzle except for the circuit board. So my question is why would you need a...

Did the earliest Tristar (Eureka) power nozzles come with an adapter to convert the Tristar proprietary wand so that it will connect to the Eureka made power nozzle? The buttons on the wands are not in exactly the same position, so the Eureka and Tristar wands and power nozzles are not...

Here's a question for the Tristar experts -- something I've been wondering about. I have a CXL. But what is the difference between it and the DXL (if any). I know Tristar came out with one model that had the geared power nozzle belt. Was that the DXL? Also, what is the EX20. That seems to be a...

A friend called me from a garage sale the other day and told me she found a Kirby G4 that was being sold for $20. She wanted to know if I wanted it. I said, "Offer them $15 and they've got a deal." Well, she just brought it over to me. Not much wrong with it either that a little spit shine won't...

Well, I finally have my $31 Ebay Tristar all spruced up. I replaced the belt and brushroll, cord, and power nozzle bumper. The nameplate was knocked off, so I ordered one of those too. Unfortunate, Tristar doesn't make the push pin type any longer. It's just a decal. The selector decal on the...

All dressed up and ready to hunt for dust bunnies at the Easter Parade! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=220383418550

Check this out. I bet these don't come along too often. Did this model take the electric turbo brush...

My new Tristar that I ordered off of Ebay came today! I'm really surprised at how good it looks for a $31 investment (plus $22 for shipping, of course)! The Tristar emblem is knocked off the canister. One screw is missing from the bottom plate on the power nozzle and the decal is coming off. It...

So which would you buy and why? Compact/Tristar or Filter Queen? Which has the better power nozzle?

I have a Hoover Convertible that I recently got off Ebay. It's in very good shape, except it's leaking dust at the point where the bag assembly actually connects to the machine. It looks like someone put a bead of silicone around the throat of the bag assembly to seal it. Should there be a...

I recently found an extremely nice Hoover Celebrity with power nozzle for $10. The motor is still going strong. And with a little polish, it looks almost brand new. However, the hose at the machine end is getting weak with age. So I decided to order a replacement hose, because I like vacuuming...

Ok. So I've seen this brand called "Kalorik" in a couple of different places. I don't intend to buy one but I'm just curious about its origin. Does anyone know who makes it. Is it a re-branded vacuum? Thanks! Bill

I just came across a Hoover Celebrity with power nozzle for $10. I just vacuumed a bedroom that's never in use. I opened up the bag to see what it picked and wow! What a monster! The brush roll isn't in the best shape but I couldn't believe the amount of dirt and debris it picked up. Quite...

I have kind of a dumb question. I have a variety of Electrolux bags that I've gotten from various places, some of which date to the 60s I think (not real sure). I use some of them from time to time. However, should I just put them up for safe keeping? In other words, are they collectible...

Has anyone ever seen used one of these conversion kits? Looks like an ugly duckling! Bill http://www.affordablevac.com/

Can someone identify what this model Electrolux is? It looks an AE but has the power nozzle outlet like an AF? Thanks! Bill http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Electrolux-Model-E-Vacuum-Cleaner-Power-Nozzle_W0QQitemZ180322820275QQihZ008QQcategoryZ115993QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Saw this on Ebay. Does anyone know anything about it? I didn't see this product on Hoover's website. Thanks! Bill http://cgi.ebay.com/Hoover-S3825-Vacuum-Cleaner-Elite-Bagless-Cyclonic_W0QQitemZ350155964352QQihZ022QQcategoryZ20615QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Dog hair likes to cling to the outside of my Hoover WindTunnel. I've never had that problem with my other vacuums (Kirby & Electrolux). Could the problem be due to static electricity or something else? Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks! Bill

Has anyone seen one of these. I couldn't find it on the Hoover website. Thanks! Bill...

I received this floor brush with a lot of Electrolux vacuums and accessories. It doesn't look like a typical Electrolux floor brush. Could someone tell me if it is, in fact, Electrolux or another brand. Thanks! Bill
