One day I was scrolling through Facebook marketplace, and I had happen to come across a listing for a new old stock Hoover Steamvac. This machine was listed for $50! When I saw how cheap it was, I just had to buy it. The seller was not only cooperative, but he was nice enough to leave it at his...

I am restoring a Hoover concept one I got off of Facebook marketplace. When I saw how good the length of the brush roll was, I thought they didn’t use it all that much. It turns out they used it quite a bit. The bearings don’t sound extremely dry, but there is a lot of play in the motor, and the...

Here is my recent find that I found from Facebook marketplace. This is one of the early models of the Hoover self propelled windtunnel. I got extremely lucky with this find. Not only that it was only $45 dollars, but the machine was hardly used. The person who sold me this machine said it was...

I wanted to make this thread to show how out of touch someone can be when it comes to bagged vacuums. I’m not starting any drama, I just want to see what other people think of this dude. To give you the best description of this guy, he is simply a Dyson fanatic that hasn’t really used that many...

Usually bagless vacuums aren’t known for deep cleaning your carpets, especially the newer junk they sell at stores these days. Out of all the bagless vacuums I’ve used, this is probably the best. It might be as good as my direct air vacuums. I can feel it sucking down to the carpet when I use...

I got this Hoover windtunnel twin chamber for my birthday. I found this on FaceBook marketplace for only $45! This machine was barely used, and yet the guy sold it for that low. I had to get it. It sucks that it isn’t the model with the nice blue translucent turbo brush, but I’ve been looking...

I got this machine for my birthday. I found it on Facebook marketplace for a whopping $45 bucks. This machine is pretty much like brand new. It has been rarely ever used at all. The brushroller is like new, the filters are new, it has like barley any scratches, the cord is like new, and the belt...

I was finally able to get the motor apart. I thought some of the screws were stripped, but apparently I found a size of screw bit that actually got them out. The motor was just caked in dirt a filth. Judging by the amount of carbon dust marking on the armature, this machine really hasn’t been...

Here is my Hoover Futura from September 1996. This is pretty much just a red version of a Hoover dimension that’s a lower end model. How it’s a lower end model is because the cord is not 30 feet, and the name “Futura” are put on machines that aren’t the highest end. I brought this machine on...

Here is a motor on my bagged Bissell lift off. As you can see, the motor is actually not sitting on its side. It is instead sitting vertical. I find this that it improves not only the suction, but also the airflow of the machine. I’m not sure if Bissell was the only one that did this? Most...

I am working on this Bissell powerclean. It’s really just Bissell’s version of a Hoover legacy. It has automatic tool conversion which I think is more convenient. The hose is way longer and more thicker. It has a 12 amp compared to the 6 amps all the way to 7.3 amp. It has a sealed brushroll...

Here is the not so common model of the Bissell lift off series. I got think brand new for Christmas of last year from a vacuum store in Nevada. It’s probably one of if not the only good Bissell ever made. The suction and airflow is very good for a bypass machine. The agitation surprised me for...
