Hey everyone! Hope you are all well. I was out with a friend today thrifting, and found these machines at a yard sale for $3 each. So of course, I had to have them. The Eureka 1447 is from 1989, and the Hoover U-4387 is from sometime prior to 1987. Both are in fantastic condition overall...

Hey everyone! Hope you’re doing as good as I am today! I just got out of goodwill with a MINT dual speed Eureka 2070D for $11.99. Pics will follow when I get it home. Thatwasherguy.

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all well. I just found an Ebay listing of several NOS Dirt Devil/Royal bag adaptors for the handheld vacuums. I’d been looking for one for my model 103 for a few months, so was quite happy to find one. I’m aware that this part is discontinued, and can be a bit tricky...

Hey everyone! Earlier today, I was given a beautiful vintage eureka canister vacuum in green. Upon initial inspection, it looks stunning. However, it has a major problem: Someone has used it without a bag (talk about spending dollars to save pennies) at some point in time, and the motor is a...

Hi everyone! This was just given to me by my neighbor! The pictures you see are of the machine as found, I haven’t touched it yet. She said it belonged to her mother-in-law, and then she used it in her office for several years up until about 11 years ago. It still runs like the day it came...

Hi! I was just wondering what vacuum cleaner related gifts everyone has received this holiday season. I’ll start with mine. I got a brand new Sebo G4, and I am loving it. I’ve included a picture of it as well. Happy holidays, Thatwasherguy.

Hi! I recently bought an Electrolux Super J on E-bay, with the power nozzle. The vacuum will need bearings soon, but still runs good enough to use, as it doesn’t seem to be bogging the motor or growling too much right now. The PN, however, is another matter. It runs great when it’s cold, but...

I remember my parent’s old victory (the boss) having it’s lettering written like this, with “the boss” being on a separate line from “eureka”. (I’ve included pictures of both versions so you can see what I’m talking about). This picture from an advertisement was the only one I could find of it...

Hi! I’ve been working on a Kirby classic III rebuild on and off for the past year and a half, and I’ve finally got it (mostly) completed. It had mice living in the emtor, corrosion all over the inside of the floor nozzle, and a warped fan shaft (found that out the hard way, when the belt...

Hi there! I have a Eureka Mega Boss victory (my dream vacuum) that I inherited a few months ago. It's never given me trouble until now. When I was vacuuming with it just now, I heard some squealing noise coming from it. I changed the belt, which helped some, but it still didn't go away...

Hello. I have a 1960’s Electrolux model G in blue. It still works, but only a little bit. When I turn it on, it instantly smells absolutely terrible. The motor doesn’t sound like it’s turning fast enough. And, when I turn it off, it makes a grinding sound as it comes to a stop. I was...
