This almost perfect Celebrity III "Deluxe" recently came to me looking for a place to call home. Since its next stop was the nearest second-hand store donation bin, I gladly agreed to take it in and welcome it to the family. Here's my question: Can any of you Hoover experts tell me if this one has a replaceable exhaust filter/muffler of some kind. If so, how do I get to it? The lady I got it from said she tried to replace the filter on the bottom before she decided to get rid of it. I looked it over when i got it home and couldn't find anything that looked like a filter or filter housing on the top or bottom of the machine. I dissmissed it as "crazy old lady doesn't know what she's talking about". Then I turned it on. From the bottom of the machine came a mess of little bits of old, dried out foam. So, where is this foam comming from? Is it replaceable? how do I get to it? |

Well, I got it apart and y'all are correct. As far as the pre-motor filter, if there was one there originally, it's long gone. The inside of the motor is near spotless. No little bits of left-over foam to be found. As for the exhaust filter in the wheel tray, what was left is to far gone to be of any use. So, now, let's see if these filters are still available, or am I going to be fabricating new ones. |
