The pigtail cord on my Electrolux hose has lost a prong. I want to replace the male plug end of the cord with a new one. I don’t know what the name of this type of plug is that has the two small round prongs that are used here and pretty much universally used on most canister vacuums so that I...

I have the following machines up for grabs just pay shipping… Electrolux Gold Model 1205 with PN2 power nozzle and power wand. Hose is bad so not including unless you really want it. Motor and cordwinder in great shape, no bearing noise. Electrolux Blue Model 1205. Top handle is missing but...

I purchased an Aerus Lux upright but it is clogged. This one has the attached hose and the dirt has to travel through it. The hose is clear as when I pull the hose out as if I’m going to use it the vac works fine…as soon as I reinsert the hose it is clogged. I shined a flashlight down the hole...

My neighbors put their Dyson dc33 out for free pickup. I took it…the brush roll runs but stalls on carpet and I can stop it with my hand. Is there a belt to replace or is it something more? Thanks! The switch for it does shut it off and turn it back on again correctly. Any help is appreciated...

Well my partner who is kind of a bull in a China shop used our Shark rocket UV330 which is a Costco only model which has the collapsible folding wand and broke the joint on the wand. Haven’t called Shark yet to see if they have it but not happy about this issue as I otherwise like the vacuum for...

Makes a horrible grinding sound when switches to carpet and it tries to drive the brush. Does this mean the clutch has gone bad or is there just something stuck? The dust bin handle and release also is broken and held in with a bungee cord and has a hole in one of the cyclones I can patch with...

I think it would be safe to say that this model Hoover was imitated for the plasti vac upright generation we see today. https://www.vacuumland.org/PICT_OF_THE_DAY/PICTURES/TODAYSPICT26.jpg Jon https://www.vacuumland.org/PICT_OF_THE_DAY/PICTURES/TODAYSPICT26.jpg

Got a Bissell spin wave mop at goodwill back in the summer. Got a bottle for it and some pads. Downloaded the instructions. It’s the corded model. I LOATHE mopping floors. I LOVE this machine. I now like to mop the floors! We recently bought a small office building for a company we started. It...

My dogs constantly bring in grass from the yard so I’m having to clean two sizable rooms daily or at a minimum every other day. Annoyed with pulling out my Electrolux canister or the Shark rocket corded that often. Want something lighter and easier and cordless. Hence thinking some sort of...

My partner bought a small office suite for his company he started a while ago and is growing rapidly and wanted a suggestion for a vac to equip the building with. There is a lot of tile floors and low pile office carpet. I suggested the current Shark rocket duo clean corded model from Costco...

Well the time has come…Mom’s Electrolux model S has finally bit the dust this past summer. The motor sounds really bad and runs slow and also smells bad. I didn’t chuck it right away but considered it. Well tonight I was using the early White Electrolux model L in the basement and I heard a...

So little posts on these useful and convenient machines. My Sister has a roomba…it’s very loud and annoying to me…my Brother has a different brand of robotic vacuum and it is smooth and quiet like a Miele canister. I think I’d be open to getting one provided it’s not loud like the roomba but I...

I love and hate certain things about some vacs and vice versa on other vacs. Hence I’ve learned to adapt or swap parts or attachments to create better versions. This can involve mixing brands and styles and even use size adapters. If you’ve done the same…please share and post with photos too...

While this was an inexpensive dishwasher back then…it did the job well and served us since 1990 when the house was purchased. A basic GE dishwasher, a single timer knob and one option switch for “heated dry” or “energy saver dry”. If you turned the dial a bit past the first pre rinse it had a...

I just got a Bissell “spin wave” floor scrubber. It was $12 at Goodwill. It is missing the solution tank and pads but I was able to order them from evacuumstore.com for a reasonable price. I like how quiet this machine is. Looking forward to trying it out because I LOATHE mopping. I have...

I was in my local habitat for humanity store a few days ago and came across a Kirby cord so I picked it up. It is in good shape and has the round female end and has the rubber metal holding clamp piece on it too to support the cord. The metal clamp is not there, but the rubber part the clamp...

The Electrolux model L was touted as “The world lightest weight heavy duty vacuum cleaner” at the time. I am interested in knowing the weight of one of these without the cordwinder attachment which makes it substantially heavier. Particularly the blue or gold models with the plastic bag cage. I...

The more in my Electrolux xxx which my grandmother bought new when my Dad was just a kid works but the bearing lubrication is dry so it seems to run slower than it should and doesn’t quite have the optimal suction power it should. Using a brand new vinyl hose so that’s not it. I know there are...

Hi all…it’s been a while since I’ve posted much but my person who got me into vacuums…(my Father gets all the credit) passed away in January from an unexpected hemmoragic stroke. And due to covid…I did not travel to see my Mom until just now. I live in Dallas but Mom lives in NJ. I’m actually...

Hose is discontinued. It’s cheap plastic and ripping through. I removed the handle and it’s a proprietary molded formed end on the hose that fits into the handle with a built in gasket. I tried crazy gluing with no success. There’s not enough room for duct tape as the rip is too close to the...
