    Got a Sebo Felix 2 today - Thanks!!!

    Mark40511, The Sebo Felix has an option for a 9' extension hose that the guy included with my purchase. The hose on the vac itself is around 6', so add on the 9' extension and it works like you describe. The Sebo will lay completely flat so no worries about tipping!

    Got a Sebo Felix 2 today - Thanks!!!

    N0oxy - I got it at Ballwin Vacuum Center - 14544 Manchester Rd, 63011. The owner is a super nice guy - really knowledgeable and zero pushy. I feel like I got a good deal with the hose/wand/upholstery extras and the adapter so I could use accessories from my other vacuums. I was honestly...

    Got a Sebo Felix 2 today - Thanks!!!

    Long story short, I was going to buy a "really good" corded stick vac, then saw a picture of the red Sebo Felix 2 somewhere. What a swanky looking vac!!! It seemed to be my holy grail combo of smallish, well made, maneuverable and not too heavy. I came here, did some reading, watched some...

    Is this the right belt for Hoover Dimension 1000 S3277?

    Thank you I can't see how it would fit there, so I'll just leave it out. I don't mind if it doesn't stand up.

    Is this the right belt for Hoover Dimension 1000 S3277?

    May have found the part I think I identified the part - called a detent spring. I found a place to order one but can't really see in the diagram where it goes. (and what it does.)

    Is this the right belt for Hoover Dimension 1000 S3277?

    Looks more like part 16 in that diagram Picture attached. The red arrow is pointing to where a small piece broke off of this part. About 1/4" of that end.

    Is this the right belt for Hoover Dimension 1000 S3277?

    Thank you Thanks for the confirmation. I do plan to buy local to support a small business owner :) I finally got the head open as well. There was a broken metal clip that fell out - I'm not sure where it went or what it did. I'm assuming it was to secure something in place and is not...

    Is this the right belt for Hoover Dimension 1000 S3277?

    The belt for my powerhead broke - is 40201045 the correct replacement for the S3277-040? And how do I open the power head to replace the belt? I took 2 screws out and it seems to want to open from the back side but only a little and I don't want to force things and break it...

    Will a Hoover Celebrity scratch up my wood floors? + Donor Vacuum

    Well.... For my orange Celebrity: I took the metal pipes from my Hoover Portapower and they fit the Celebrity! Now I just need the bare floor  nozzle, which might be in my basement somewhere. I'm not going to hunt for a power nozzle because.....   I picked up a Hoover Dimension 1000! It's...

    Will a Hoover Celebrity scratch up my wood floors? + Donor Vacuum

    bnsd60m9200, thank you for that information. I actually decided against the QS for the time being. I'm just blinded by that beautiful chrome! Finding one in good condition with all of the attachments will end up being quite spendy though.   The orange one I have is stuck on MAX unfortunately...

    Will a Hoover Celebrity scratch up my wood floors? + Donor Vacuum

    Great! Thanks for the info. I actually have a vintage Portapower, need to dig it out and see if I have that head!   Do you know if my orange "donor" Celebrity is worth hanging on to for the motor and cord rewind?

    Will a Hoover Celebrity scratch up my wood floors? + Donor Vacuum

    Good info Thank you fan-of-fans, that's very helpful. I notice that a lot of models for sale are missing that hard floor brush

    Will a Hoover Celebrity scratch up my wood floors? + Donor Vacuum

    I am kinda obsessed with the chrome model. I watched a video of someone using one, (QS model) and he showed that when you choose bare floor on the power nozzle, it doesn't lift the roller up. Rather it drops something else down through a slot. So now I'm worried about scratching up my floor more...

    Electro-Hygiene model 401

    KirbyClassic & Huskyvacs KirbyClassic: Thanks for identifying the year. Huskyvacs: I appreciate your advice. As mentioned in my last post, I'm now thinking of finding a canister vac with all the attachments - it would probably be cheaper in the long run to do that instead of trying to piece...

    Electro-Hygiene model 401

    Thanks, I don't have the hose unfortunately. Since I posted I've been looking on eBay. I'm thinking I might be better off buying one that has everything including the power head. I'm not looking for perfection cosmetically, just one in good running condition. I hear the 1205 Electrolux is good...
