Hey y'all, been a while since I was on Vacuumland. Hope everyone's doing well. Anyways, came across this little battery powered Perfect canister cheap on eBay and picked it up on a whim (I like full-size cordless machines). My first impressions are that the Perfect's a little on the heavy side...

Hey Vacuumland, thought I'd show off the first vacuum I've picked up in a few years. Found this one at the local Goodwill for around $20 and am currently waiting on some bags and belts in the mail. I think this one would be an early 80's model based on what I looked up, but I could be wrong...

I'm working on cleaning my Radiance and I can't figure out how to get into the motor. I've gotten the top cover off, but the black cover that says Tandem Air System won't budge. Riccar experts, any advice?

Well, maybe not "new". It's a RAD.1 that I got off eBay, so it's not cosmetically perfect, but nothing I won't be able to clean up. Anyway, I have a question about this vacuum's height adjustment knob. I'm having a lot of trouble turning it, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of special...

Anyone think this resembles a bagged Hoover T Series?

I recently moved into a new house that is about 50% hardwood floors. Unfortunately, none of the vacuums in my collection are safe or practical for this type of flooring. Does anybody have a suggestion for a vacuum that won't scratch the floors?

Found this at Disney World. Vacuum looked like a Eureka Maxima.

The motor is my Eureka 3336A canister has started to make a buzzing sound while running. I'd like to take a look at it, but I can't figure out how to remove the yellow motor cover inside the vacuum. What is causing this sound, and how can I remove the motor cover?

I've seen some Riccars at vacuum stores painted to look like an American flag. Would it be possible for the average consumer to get one, or are these just display models for vac shops. Also, does anyone have any good pictures of these machines?

I won this Eureka on eBay yesterday. It is a 4 amp model, and I believe it takes F&G bags. It should arrive next week. When was this machine sold? Also, was it a TOL, MOL, or BOL model?

Earlier today, I was able to access the Junior section and use the Vacuumland search. Now, I don't have the option to use either, and instead of telling me how many upgraded days I have left, it says Upgrade Membership. Could I have my Junior status back?

I know these are pretty rare, so I figured someone on this site might be interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dirt-Devil-Cyclone-Canister-Vacuum-Cleaner-Model-082200-No-Hose-/121121783766?pt=US_Vacuum&hash=item1c336bbfd6

I put a GoPro camera on my Sebo X2. Probably one of the cooler videos I've made.

I've been using a flip ultra for most of my vacuum videos, but I'd like something that can record in HD. While I can use my phone for the video, I can't put it on a tripod for when I actually use the vacuum. What do you guys recommend?   Here's a video if you need an example of what I use...

While I'm not selling it, I'd heartily recommend this vacuum to anyone in need of a vacuum that can deep clean carpet or hard floors. http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/hsh/3734113198.html

I've got two Orecks that I need to find the age, a 2600 and an XL21. The XL21 has a Date stamp of 03329, and the 2600 has a 5 digit code (which I'm assuming is the date) of 00082. A post in the archives said that the first two digits were the year and the last 3 were the day the vacuum was made...

Since 3d printers are on the rise and getting cheaper, I've been looking into them, and I had a great idea. Since vacuum parts can be pretty expensive, why not make your own? For example, my Hoover 28's original hood has a noticeable crack in it. If I made a replica, I wouldn't have to worry...

In your opinion, what makes a vacuum good? For me, it's ease of use. Even if I need to clean the whole house, I'm more likely to grab my Sebo X2 and Hoover Constellation that I am to use a heavy power nozzle canister. The Sebo's got a great handle design, and the Constellation has one of the...

On Friday, I bought a Hoover Windtunnel S/P from goodwill for about $20. The bag was stuffed, so I assume that was why the former owners threw it away. How do I do a full disassembly and cleanout of one of these machines?

Since I recently got a bench grinder, I've been polishing various vacuum parts as practice before I move on to actual vacuums. Unfortunately, the scratches are becoming more noticeable as the parts start to look nicer. What would be the best way to get the scratches out of the metal?
