I had the canister (still have it but no hose) Will the new hose fit or can I still get the one this canister originally takes? | ||

I think he's asking about the dry clean upright thing. I have one and I think it's great. This model can also be used for plain vacuuming. It has paper bags that are long discontinued. Seems to very powerful though i never used it for dry cleaning. I also have the other model that's a cyclonic bag less and it's a peice of Sh@@.

I've never seen the dry cleaning machine.
We did have a similar canister. A cousin gave it to us as she got a new vacuum, and it was a lower end model without the power handle or headlight. I really liked that machine. The hose was duct taped but otherwise it worked fine. Unfortunately my mother threw it away when she got a new Kenmore Whispertone canister in 1999. She tried to sell it at a yard sale but it didn't sell. | ||

 Gary and all, the 24991/2 Powerhandle is still a 100% Whirlpool product, Sears Best canister from 2/3/84 to early 1987 at a price of $439 USD and the beginning of the "Premier" line 5055 swivel hose models. This was the only model with a 3 wire white hose, prone to the splits, and the only way to get a replacement is the gray 3 wire hose body part 4150585 (NLA). There is another Powerhandle Kenmore, the gray 26455 with the 4.5 motor and the wide beam quick release Powermate, oh what I would do to get one of them.
Brian, I bought your Powerhandle back in 2010 and still have it, but this one I had Chad Cunningham get for me in Kansas City (thank you again) as the seller was a cuckoo church lady feeling uneasy about me driving 500 miles round trip for a sweeper. Mine had a perfect hose until 2 weeks after I got it the dreaded splits started forming near the handle and I used silicone sealant and white electrical tape to hold it together.
Kenny, funny you should mention how the dry clean n vac looks like my Ultra Vac Power-Mate II, the dry clean n vac is actually referenced in the patent for the machine when describing the nozzle body and design.

I just recently acquired a similar canister model. Mine is not the power handle model. It has the power switch & cord rewind pedal on the rear of the canister.Complete with all tools & a non-splitting hose all for $2.99. I was ecstatic to find this model since this was the identical machine that my dad bought for my mom on their anniversary in '86 or '87. Seems there was a past thread about something that could be used on these hoses to keep them supple & prevent cracking, anybody remember what it was??

curb find I picked this up on the curb just last week. A landlord was cleaning out a rental house. I had to repair a split in the hose by the handle, but I have to do that on alot of my older kenmore canisters.

You are right on the hoses. Both our beige front hose and swivel hose canisters had to have the hoses taped with duct tape. I also had a green and gray swivel hose canister with silver/gray hose that too had to be taped.
Both of the gray hoses on our green 1999 Whispertone canisters seem to be okay. One has one slight crack, but I think that's it. The hoses on these are smooth and not textured, and I've seen what appears to be the same hoses on the lower end TTI-made Kenmore canisters at Kmart and Sears. I did see a beige 3.9 swivelhose Kenmore at an estate sale, and it had a replacement gray hose that appeared to be in good shape. I bet the original had fallen apart too. | ||

Ok Phillip, the Dry Clean n Vac is a Singer/Ryobi product, the early version of the DryTech capture dry carpet cleaning machine. You are right that it can be used as a regular vac or as a dry carpet cleaner. Click on the link for patent info. CLICK HERE TO GO TO alexb1186's LINK | ||

Can U make a 10ft long electrified hose for a Electrolux 1205, Epic 6500 or Ambassador? It sure looks difficult making a new hose with molded ends | ||
