    Hoover Dual Voltage Convertible

    I found this at the Habitat Restore in Amarillo a little while back. This machine purrs like a kitten. It's interesting to find one of these 120v/60Hz 240v/50Hz machines in the wild to me. It's joined my fleet of Hoover Vacuums and it's kinda cool to me.

    Hoover 6 Gallon Wet Dry Vac Tank Latches

    Would anyone have a couple of these laying around? I bought this machine a couple years back and I'm finally getting around to it on my back log of machines.

    Panasonic MC-2730/Jet-Flo 170 Canister

    I bought this canister on eBay a while ago and it didn’t have the wands and floor tool, but is in good shape. I found a set of compatible wands and a floor tool from a later Panasonic canister on eBay as well. It’s a neat little machine and uses the Panasonic Type C-4 bag. I glued the collar...

    Let’s see your favorite power team setup!

    Mine is my TriStar CXL with a Centec Power Nozzle. This machine has had many different nozzles on it in the time I’ve owned it, and this is my favorite setup. I have quite a few power teams, but this one is still my favorite.

    Eureka Christian Klingspor Mighty Mite II

    I’ve always wanted a Mighty Mite II and I found this one on eBay a month or two back. It’s in overall good shape minus the scuffing. It doesn’t have any of the attachments that store on the cleaner and has a different floor tool than the Mighty Mites came with. Were there any other machines in...

    Electrolux Super J question

    I have this Super J that I've had for a few years that I've finally gotten around to tearing into since the motor wasn't running right and found the armature is pitted and severely discolored. I was wanting to know my options on a motor replacement since I cleaned it up and the motor seems to...

    Eureka Aero Straight Suction Canister

    I picked this up at the Habitat Restore in Amarillo for $10 about a year ago. I had found a NOS hose that would fit this vacuum and I am still on the search for a power button cover with no luck so far. I hope to find some attachments as the ones I ordered off of eBay were off of a Powerline and...

    When’s the last time y’all have seen one of these?

    My old bosses at the furniture store gave this to me a couple months ago. It is presently in pieces waiting for its trip through my Kitchenaid KDS-18 that I use as a parts washer. This vacuum and I had history as it was used in the store until I brought them a Kirby G3 to use in the store. The...

    Hoover Powerdash Pet Problems

    My wife bought me a Hoover PowerDash Pet back in July and its been a good cleaner, but here recently the motor sounds absolutely dreadful and has a bit of an electrical smell. I stupidly didn't register it when I had the receipt and don't know where its at. I fear the motor is going bad. Is it...

    What would be a good recommendation for a Central Vacuum System?

    My wife and I are about to close on our first house. We talked it over and we want to install a Central Vacuum. Our house is roughly 1700 square foot with a detached 800 square foot garage with attached wood shop. We haven’t done any looking yet, but I know many of y’all have systems and I...

    My Eureka Whirlwind Lite with an Identity Crisis!

    In all honesty this was pieced together from a Eureka Whirlwind Lite, a Maroon Whirlwind and an eBay found bag door from a Victory Boss. I'm overall pleased with how it turned out and I cant wait to get the new brush roll in to try it out since that was the one piece I didn't have between the...

    Show me your Windtunnels!

    Here’s my two! The TurboPOWER 7500 I picked up off of Craigslist for $30 and I’ve got a Self Propelled Windtunnel that my coworker gave me. The actuator arm on the green Windtunnel was broken and missing all the tools. The TurboPOWER was complete and in great working condition. I used to pass on...

    Vax X5

    This was something I bought a few years ago on eBay. I had never seen one of these before then. I’ve seen the Bosch and Dirt Devil version, but not these. About when did they sell these? Was there any difference between it and the X3 other than the color?

    Hoover Elite 350 U4533-900

    After getting rid of the two Hoover Runabouts I’ve had over the years, I decided it was time to get another soft bag Elite. I found this gem on eBay and it’s only issue is the lower cord hook is broke off. The brush roll wasn’t in very good shape as far as missing some bristles in spots so I...

    My small collection of Kenmore Canisters

    It seems as of late I really enjoy picking up Kenmore Canisters! The Premier cleaned up really nice compared to how it was when I found it. The Whispertone EVPC still sees regular use in my home. The 200 Series is the only one of the group I bought brand new and I quite enjoy using it from time...

    Another Hoover off of my list!!!

    I got this Hoover Dimension 1000 S3491 about a month ago off of Facebook Marketplace for $35. It’s in pretty good shape other than the power nozzle is very noisy but I believe that to be the power nozzle motor or the brushroll bearings. It still cleans fabulously and the brush strips on the...

    Kenmore Magic Blue

    I bought this on eBay a few months back and finally got around to messing with it. I’ve always wanted one, but always passed them up the few times the opportunity presented itself due to the ones I’ve seen being pretty beaten up. I seen this one was in good shape and had most of the attachments...

    Some of my Kenmore Power-teams!

    I’ve been on a Kenmore kick lately. My most recent patient is my Kenmore Premier that I found at Goodwill for about $3. It was absolutely filthy when I got it and it’s motor sounded like a squealing pig, but after I addressed that it cleaned up really nicely! Next is my Kenmore Whispertone EVPC...

    I’m back and with a new vacuum!

    It’s been a while since I posted between starting a family and my obligations at my previous job, but I’m back with a new vacuum I bought a few months ago! This was from my local Sears Hometown Store and it was the display model at said store that I purchased for about $140. I’m really liking...

    My new eBay find!

    I won this Hoover Quiet Performance Canister on eBay for $55 with Free Shipping. I like it so far except I have two gripes about it. 1. The hose doesn't swivel at the machine end. 2. The little multitool thing is dreadful and the little clip on the wand that holds it isn't much better. It seems...
