Motor fans on Hoover Elites and Singer soft bag uprights

[vacsofprosper]

Interesting question to ask. Do Hoover Elites and Singer soft bag uprights share the same motor fans or not? Thanks. PS, I'm no longer Gj9696. I'm now VacsofProsper.

No, it's not the same fan. Most direct air Bissells and Singers share the same fan(early-mid 90s) since it's basically the same machine. I bought a fan for one of these not too long ago on eBay.

Kloveland, cool thank you.

Ah ha. I was afraid that the fan was worn out after 20+ years. I'm going to get the Bissell fan and give the Singer a spa treatment in the morning. Another thing, how do I the entire motor cover off?

I don't know if you ever knew before that Bissell got sued by Hoover for these being copies of the Elites. Example they use the same type of disposable bags. But Bissell probably got away from Eureka of using similar fans from the Bravos. If your Bissell fan is backordered, the Eureka fan is a perfect substitute for Bissells and/or Singers.

Panasonicvac, I just looked at the eureka bravo fans on eBay,they do look the same. And a little cheaper too. Thanks for the tip.

Does eBay have a fan seal like this?

 

[vacsofprosper]

Panasonicvac, is this the correct fan I should use on my Singer? I've got it at the mail today and just wanted to make sure.

Looks like it, as long as it's designed to fit the 12 amp Eureka Bravos. If it is, make sure that you put a washer behind it.
