Hi there, I'm having a tough time figuring out this one. I purchased a brand new CWP brushroll for my Decade 80 on Saturday. In short, I love it, the machine is so quiet and smooth; HOWEVER, I am tearing through the belts—and I mean TEARING. I can't keep a belt on for more than 10 minutes of...

Here's a video of my red Concept Two. http://https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=LniZUVq86pc

Thank you! Thank you both for the tips! Turns out the bag was incredibly dusty. Looks better now.

@vintagevaclover Yes, the handle, cord, and bumper (I guess that's what you call it) have all been replaced. The U3321 does not have the speed control—that would be very cool. It belonged to my great aunt who purchased it in late '87 or early '88, making it a few months older than me. I believe...

Hello there, Happy to say I acquired a Hoover PowerMAX today! It's a burgundy model with the dumbed-down, two-strip Quadraflex Agitator. Anyhow, when cleaning this vac up, I noticed the exterior bag seems to be quite dusty, almost making it a shade or two lighter than its normal color. Has...

Thanks so much for the suggestions! I ran the Concept for about five minutes with both belts disconnected and the motor ran perfectly fine the whole time. No burning smells at all. I reckon I'll try fixing up the brush roll. Any recommendations on where to get the appropriate bearings?

Hello, I have a quick question regarding my Hoover Concept One (model U3225). I purchased the machine in 2009 from a vacuum shop in Houston and have restored it. I'm guessing this machine is from the early 80s (has the two speed motor and pointy handle). The issue I'm experiencing is a very...
