I was recently at a get together with my family and some friends. A lady who is a close friend of my mom said here dad recently passed away. She also said he kept everything if it was broken. She said that she would clean out his house and I could have any older vacuums she finds. This has...

I think Vacuumland has been updated! I’m still getting used to it but it looks really great! My only question is where can I find the vacuum of the day? I haven’t seen it. -Jack

I finally found the oreck I’ve been looking for for years! My grandma used to have this one. I just finished servicing it, and it works perfect. It came with the original sales receipt, which says it was purchased in 2008. -Jack

Hello! I have a G4 and a G6 Kirby, both need new fans. Could someone send me a link for a high quality new one? Thanks in advance! -Jack

Hello! I would like to thank Tom Gasko for selling me his premier hand vacuum for a very fair price. I started to rebuild the motor and its going great! I only have one problem. I attempted to service the bearings but it didn't go great. The bottom one was easy to service, but the top one keeps...

Hello! This might sound stupid but I thought I'd share how I clean or "restore" brushrolls. I do what anyone else does. Cut the hair off, lube the bearings, wipe it down, but I recently discovered a cool trick. When too much hair or thread gets wrapped around the brush it bends the bristles...

Hello! A relative of mine is looking for a cheap and easy way to clean her laminate floors. After some research we settled on a Karcher FC 3 floor cleaner. It's perfect for what she needs. The only question she had was what can she put in it besides water (and not a strong chemical) I know...

Well, I made another impulse buy. This hand vac has been on EBay for awhile. It’s in terrible condition and it’s missIng the bag and handle. I’m hoping to restore it, and the seller does claim it runs. As long as the bearings aren’t completely shot I think I’ll be able to fix it. I also plan to...

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had this specific Oreck outer bag. There are a few in stock on ezvacuums.com, but I’m not willing to spend $70 on a random vacuum bag. I would really appreciate it if anyone could find one. Thanks -Jack

Hello! I picked an Oreck XL 9100 from the trash. All I did was clean it and replace all the parts it needed (including the housing) The only other issue is the motor, it's completely shot and I'm not great at fixing them. So I found this one on eBay. Will this one work in my 9100? it looks...

Hello! I just finished repairing my Electrolux xxx and I absolutely love it! I also Jerry-rigged it to use bags and filters. I was just wondering about the suppressor. I read a previous thread about it and thought to check mine, but I have no idea where it is! I think I found it but in the...

I'm very excited to visit the hoover historical center in Ohio! I've always wanted to see it! Anyone else been? -Jack

Hello! Yesterday while at a CVS I noticed something. They finally got a new vacuum! They had had a power force helix for a long time. It looked like a Proteam upright but instead red and CVS branded, But wait that's not all! After that I went across the street to the post office and they had...

This week had some amazing finds! First I found a thrashed oreck in the trash, other than a new motor it will turn out fine. Then I found a near perfect elite! No issues whatsoever! They also included a huge bag of parts, At least $30 worth! Half of the parts don’t even go to the elite. They...

Hello! I finally finished everything I needed to get done with my Electrolux olyimpia, but there’s one issue with the power nozzle. It’s hard to see in the photo but every time I use it, it’s so high! It doesn’t even agitate the carpet! Any way I can adjust it lower? Also how do I date it? Any...

I don't know any. Just curious if anyone had any you're willing to share.

Hello! While I was on vacation I stopped at this run down mom n pop thrift. I always stop there because last time I found an Electrolux Olympia. So with high hopes I walked in and did see any vacuums where they usually are, but when I checked the kitchen ware I found this little Hoover! I was...

I personally love my Orecks. I know they don't have great air flow along with some other flaws but I love mine.

I was wondering what were some of the dirtiest vacuums you've seen. Some of mine were a sanitronic 50 that was completely thrashed, it was moldy had water in it and a slug. Next would be a shark navigator that was so packed with dirt it smeared dust on a rug and overheated.

I’ve heard people talk about display vacuums at stores being real vacuums, but the only display vacuums I see at stores (besides Costco) are fake. They always have fake plugs, and other fake parts.
