Thanks everybody!

I enjoyed my special day today. (However, I haven't had my first drink yet.) LOL!

for future reference.....

If you ever need a glue again to fix anything broken on your vacuums, Loctite makes one that is incredible. It's called Go2.

My handle has shipped!

Hopefully it will be here next week! I just need to look out for FedEx during that time.

I haven't had my first drink yet

It's finally here!

Earlier this afternoon, the mail lady dropped off a package from Techtronic Industries. I opened it up, and my replacement handle was inside! So I went to install it.

Installing the new handle was really simple, since it involved disassembling the vacuum. I removed the pet attachments, unwrapped the hose and removed the dirt cup. I then removed the screw on the back and removed the old handle. I inserted the new handle, reattached the screw and put everything back together. So the procedure was basically the initial assembly all over again.

One thing I've noticed with the new handle is that the turbo brush stays on there a lot better. On the old handle, it would fall off and land on the floor on rare occasions. In addition, the handle has a "Made in China" sticker on the part that attaches to the vacuum.

Anyway, I'm glad to have a new handle for the Windtunnel. I'm going to vacuum with it this weekend and see how the clip holds up.

One more pic

This shows the cord placed in the new cord clip. I wonder how long this'll last...

I hope it works out.

Glad TTI sent you a newe one.


 Happy Hoovering.

John, "Happy Hoovering"

You sounded so British! xD

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I could be called a whole lot worse than

"British".... and have!
My Irish family always uses Hoover as a verb. "Well, there's a nice bright light on it so you can Hoover in the dark".

Lol it's quite common, I think it's used more than the word "vacuum." I once told a kid in my class that it's called vacuum, not Hoover. He disagreed with me and said "vacuum" is so 80's and Hoover is modern, I'm like are you kidding me?!

This takes me to for around tool users-"Use the Skilsaw to cut that to so and so!"The machine is some other brand of saw.Same with Kleenex tissues.For the saws-Skilsaw name is often used to note any brand or type of portable electric hand circular saw.And Kleenex for any type of tissue wipe.We could go on!-As with "Hoover"to vacuums.Guess for me I "Kirby" my floor!Or "Royal" it.

Conclusion

Thanks everybody for helping me avert this mini-crisis!

I've been busy vacuuming with the Hoover this weekend. So far, the clip is working great!

Now, all is well in the world of vacuums.
