Shetland-Lewyt - 2349-J

I am almost done working on this unit. It was FILTHY. I may need to replace the cord, a couple of outside sheath nicks exposing wires inside.

It came with an unused Speedsak already installed.

I watched a Youtube video showing what a bad design these were especially the motor. My machine's motor looks like it was replaced with a Lamb with metal fans.
It has strong suction and sounds great.

I used my baking soda vinegar treatment on the inside of the hose and BOY did a lot of dirty water drain out. I was even wondering if I had stripped the lining out of it. It dried outside and after attaching it to the blower port, it seemed dry. Quick test revealed strong suction.

This is a better machine that the one shown on Youtube. First picture was before and the following pictures are after. I still need to reattach the tool caddy.

What is the baking soda vinegar treatment? Soaking it completely?

Nice vacuum, these are rare - mainly because they died quickly and were not very durable mechanically.

Thanks and Howdy, H

Not sure where I found the treatment for hose cleaning, but it is simply tapping a good amount of baking soda in one end and following that with vinegar. I did use 30% strength vinegar on this one, but the weaker solutions works just fine.

Allow the foam to come out the other end and lift both ends up to slosh the mixture around inside. After a about 30 seconds, run some hot tap water through it and rinse the mixture down the drain. Cleans, disinfects and freshens the hose.

You MUST allow the hose to completely dry out for obvious reasons. I usually connect the hose to an exhaust port to make sure it is dry.
