And... the left side / rear view. It works OK, but needs a new belt. The one there is about in shreds. Also needs a change of the bag. The disposable bag basically had 10 lbs of "stuff" in a 5 lb sack...

Congratulations, Chris -
They were kinda quirky vacuums, but there's something "fetching" about them. I used to have one, and changing the Type C bag about drove me nuts. I needed 6 hands to get the outer bag lowered, the paper bag carefully removed, and the whole thing replaced and put back together again. I liked the cleaning job that the Lark does, though. It was a good little vacuum. I just wished they had designed a better bag system. | ||

LOl, really laughing as I type this, John. That must explain why the sweet old lady, possibly NEVER changed the bag in this Lark that I just received. I am going to try to find hazard waste gloves and attempt to change it tomorrow. | ||

Haven't psyched myself up to dive in just yet, John, but that must explain the yellow do not cross tape that has now been placed around my Lark. | ||

Lark, a cute and neat little vacuum, reminds me of the Dirt Devil Broomy vacs. Has anyone got a video of it in action? I wonder what it sounds like. The larger Hoovers have that certain growl to them (Convertibles and Seniors/Rangers), so what about this one? | ||

In action
This is Jack's (dysonanimal) model 14 which is similar, although it may be slightly wider that the Lark shown above - if I recall correctly the Lark 12 used the same brush roll as the Junior 115/119 where this one used a Senior brush roll.
Jack's is quite noisy, the Lark 12 may well be quieter. Al CLICK HERE TO GO TO Vacbear58's LINK | ||

Actually I have to say that mine, posted above, sounds similar to Jack's. But I don't have a fresh belt yet and I don't want to run it for more than a sec w/ that one. I am really falling for this Lark. | ||

I love the fact that she still had the "sweeper" price tag on it. Was this Minnie Pearl's Lark? Happy hoarding buddy! =0)
