    Hoover Anniversary self-propelled windtunnel.

    So, you know how I was scammed out of an Anniversary supreme Windtunnel? Well, my Habitat for Humanity received this and I snagged it up the day after getting a parts shop-vac for my QPL45a. Granted, it’s not the exact Windtunnel I wanted, but hey, it’s probably fate’s gift to me after being...

    Bearing Press?

    I found this on Amazon! I think we’re gonna be out of the eras where we need to use a hammer on shaft to press on bearings. https://a.co/d/duCWFZh

    Any equivalent fan I could use?

    So, my Shop Vac QSP Pro has had this awful vibrating sound during operation. I took it apart and no matter how much I tried, it still vibrated. There was nothing rubbing against the fan and the fan was balanced. Out of all the times I worked on it, the fan was different compared to the other...

    How to wash Royal Hand Vac bags?

    In the past, I would always wash these bags whenever I got them used. I’m wondering on how to properly wash them or not because the dye washes out and I’m wondering on how I could wash them without it fading or if I just can’t wash them at all.

    Main Equivalency! Which one would you take?

    A poll without unsubstantiated claims mixed in as "context". I also added in an option for another brand. Mine would be the Perfect C105B. A canister from an emerging brand on the commercial market.

    I don't have a Sebo vacuum to use my new Sebo attachment with, so I put it on different vacuums. Here's the result.

    What is this?

    This came with my Turbopower 8000 when I got it. It looks like the end of an old canister vacuum hose. This doesn’t fit with my other vacuums and I’m wondering if I could modify this to work on my Shop Vac All Around.

    Would a Wessel Werk turbine tool be a good investment for car cleaning?

    I’ve been looking at Wessel Werk turbine tools because the ones on my Maytag Hoovers aren’t cutting it. I’ve heard that they make Sebo’s turbine tools and I’ve been thinking about getting one or two for my Shop Vacs for usage on floors, upholstery, stairs, and my family’s cars (We have a dog...

    How to fix loose base on Hoover Self Propelled Windtunnel?

    I’ve noticed this for a while since I’ve acquired my Hoover Self Propelled Windtunnel. The base can be pushed up by hand. This causes the base to stick to carpet and I’m wondering if this issue can be fixed or if this is just wear and tear.

    Yo! Giant Shop Vac.

    Found this at Habitat For Humanity and I couldn’t resist! I’ve been looking for these for a little while now. The motor needs some work done, but afterwards it’ll be my Shop Vac for giant jobs.

    Finally got a parts machine for my Dirt Devil 500!

    The motor shaft in my 500 went bad a while ago, so I needed a new motor. I finally got a good parts 103 machine at Goodwill. The cashier gave me a discount because it was missing the bag. I already have another complete and working 103 and the motor assembly in this is good. “Tomorrow is...

    Very early Shop Vac All Around?

    I have a blue 3 gallon All Around and I’m wondering if there’s any info on this very early looking All Around model.

    How does one actually go about installing a bag in an old style Shop Vac All Around?

    I have a Shop Vac All Around QAL80A and I used a bag in it with the pleated filter. I'm not sure if this is the right configuration because I've seen an image of the same model using a bag without the pleated filter. Would using the bag without the pleated filter be the correct setup?

    EMERGENCY DIRT DEVIL REACTION AIR DIRECTORS

    I recently acquired this Dirt Devil Reaction at a Habitat for Humanity Store yesterday and it doesn't have any air directors. The cost for an entire biin with said Air Directors costs $50 and I'm not willing to pay that much for a machine that I bought for $5.75. I will be demanding the Store a...
