Phoenixman2014, your Hoover sounds perfectly fine to me. Just another sleazy vac shop trying to tell you your motor is bad, & then try to sell you an expensive motor repair you don't need. Use your vacuum normally, & whatever you do don't reward this business by going back to them! The only way these shops are going to learn to do business ethically is when their business starts going downhill by mistreating their customers, & hopefully those customers warn their friends & family.

Hi there your motor sounds sweet running to me not rumbling of bearings or unusual noises going on.
Have you considered that perhaps the vacuum store want to make some cash out of you by doing repairs that are probably not needed,or want to try and sell you something else. I have had a similar experience with my 1934 hoover 800 a few years back infact and theirs nothing wrong with it and still running sweet. Also a few years ago i had a similar reaction to another local vacuum store with my electrolux z65.All I asked for was a service and grease and check the carbon brushes. They tried to get me to have a replacement motor or rebuild 17 years later its still running sweet as a nut I have found modern day vacuum stores in my area just dont get vintage machinery at all!!,infact they seem to be scared of it lol I would stick to the opinion of collectors who know their stuff and ignore the shops. Dont worry about your hoover dear boy sounds sweet to me!! Best regards markanthony5 from England | ||

You know you hit the nail right on the head.
We all need to get more techno with our vacuums and also set up threads on here for people who are in the electrical mechanical know how and share as much info with each other as possible and keeps these nasty rip off money grabbing dealers away from us collectors! Most of us seem to know how to change belts filters and do the cosmetic work on our vacuums spray jobs making bags be it uprights or cylinders but for most of us that's it. We defo need to sysmtoms sorter thread on here with people who are in the electrical mechanical know then we can just put a youtube vid on for help just like the reason for this thread | ||
