powr flite/sebo? vacuum

[devmanclearh2o]

hey all i have another little project i recently acquired, its a powr-flite commercial upright, now when i first saw it i thought, is that a sebo?? sure enough the power head from what i can tell is made by them but powr-flite is made by the tacony corporation and has nothing to do with sebo apparently, or from what i can tell anyway. so far all the parts that i need i can only buy from the company, cant really find any info on this vacuum besides sales brochures they have on their site, i attached a link to the site maybe some one can enlighten me?
and another thing that makes me think its a sebo is it has the little door on the end to change the brush without removing the roller looks identical to a sebo

I know what you mean! For years I was under an impression that the Nilco/IVAC vac I was using was a SEBO.

IVAC also makes the Easy Vac.



The underside is very similar to SEBO/Windsor uprights.

so i see its actually more common than i thought for other companies to re-badge a sebo haha. i havent used this one yet, im fixing it for a client, and am finding its kinda annowing finding parts for it already.
im used to fixing kirbys darnit and there are parts everywhere lol. all i need for this one is a new brush roll insert and a belt, which i can find. oh and possibly a new cord

The IVAC you have thought isn't a SEBO so there won't be many parts that are compatible as far as I know. Look up gsheen on here as he has a few of the IVACS and might be able to help you further. His email is [email protected]
