Very cool all this stuff I'm learning guys! @thevacuumguy96, do you think you could post some pictures of the hand vacuum? Thanks.

Sure Darren!

 

[dwhdarren97]

Thanks!

Did you get those pictures yet? And by the way my 103 Red hand vacuum started making intermitent scraping noises and if you look inside there is sparking in the motor (does not escape vacuum). Would this be normal or are the bearings, brushes, etc worn? Thanks.

Darren, I believe the brushes are worn. My Green Dirt Devil Plus and my Black Dirt Devil 500 both do that. And I don't know about the scraping noise. Here is a pic of my green Dirt Devil Plus Handvac.

Sorry for the big picture!

Thankyou thankyou thankyou! Haha I just love that color! Is brush replacement on these models fairly easy, or should I just find another red handheld? There is always one at the local goodwill .

 

[thevacuumguy96]

Yes, brush replacement is fairly easy as long as you have an extra brushroll. Otherwise, you could just buy a red Dirt Devil Handvac and use the brushroll from that. The green Dirt Devil Handvac I have actually came with all of the attachments except for the wand, and it came with the manual and the original box also. It was only $3.75.

Oops forgot to say motor brushes, not the brushroll haha. I think I'll take it to the vac shop and get it checked out, every time i have the urge to take something apart it has little chance of getting back together .
