    My Awesome Find

We ended up at this place called Tom's Treasure Chest and he has a pretty large warehouse in back and that's where I found my latest (old) toy. A Hoover Concept One. Powerdrive model. It was covered in some filth, tested...

    The New Style Sanitaire 7 amp motor

    who is it made by? and where is it made? The newer style motor is in my brand new SC688 that I got for christmas but there is no visible tags on the motor at all. My SC888 has the older pancake motor and I know that's made by Ametek in Mexico.

    Filter Queen Majestic

    I just bought a used FQ Majestic on Ebay. It looks like a pretty good deal for 179$ with tax and shipping. The seller said it was approximately a 1995 model, I otherwise have no clue to it's actual age other than that, and it doesn't look too old. It has the metal power head, I'm not sure when...

    Polished And Shined Kirby Heritage (pics inside)

    I just finished cleaning and polishing my Kirby, got it all back together now and it looks great again! Replaced the brushes on the motor while I had it apart, didn't do the bearings at this time since the local vacuum guy didn't have any and the current ones are still in good shape. The cord...

    Kirby Motor Maintenance

    I've got my Heritage 1 in pieces right now as I'm cleaning and polishing it. I cleaned up the motor and am gonna get some new brushes to put in it. But I'm wondering what else should I do with it while I have it apart, and I'm not sure what points to grease/oil on this particular motor...

    Hoover T-Series back to back with Eureka Smartvac

    Just made and posted a video of my T-Series and Smartvac sucking up shredded paper back to back. T series was a little more hungry then the smartvac, but in the end the smartvac had less paper stuck in the brushroll.

    New Toy!!

    Back on Saturday I was at Kohls and came across a bagged T series on display. Hadn't seen one in person yet so I looked it over and it looked pretty nice, fairly solid built and not too flimsy, except for the handle which tends to twist a little more easily then I'd like. Fast forward to today...

    Hoover Video

    The Guardsman FINALLY Came!!

    It was ordered on May 5th so it would get here in time for my May 14th birthday but that never happened... VCDiscounter, whom it was ordered from took a month and a half to get it in. Hoover/TTI probably sells so few that they don't stock any in the US and had to wait for them to manufacture it...

    Video Of My Eureka Boss Taking On A REALLY NASTY Rug!

    Been emptying out our basement and this nasty NASTY rug was uncovered, so I couldn't resist the temptation and decided to vacuum it....and make a movie of that too. I didn't want to use my Sanitaire's or the Kirby since there were things on the rug that could wreck there fans. So I used my Boss...
