dont use the crap sponge filter. use fpr 10 a/c filter from home depot or merv 13 a/c filter . you filtration will be MUCH improved. fwiw the old crap filter was glued. the a/c filter i cut to fit slightly oversized so it press fits in. wire mesh side facing down do the motor doesn't ingest the filter media.

Andy, I would be intersted in the filter if you have one. I am wondering if the motor sizes are all standard on those machines. Let me know if you have one and we can arrange. Thanks. Richard. |

So I will have to find a black floor/Wall brush and a crevice to be correct. I will watch for or perhaps they will be offered. I also believe there is a metal floor tool...was that black too? |

I love that smaller head. I picked a rough one up this week just for the attachments and caddy. Turned out the attachments were a hodge podge of different vacuum parts. I am planning to strip the vacuum or find a way to store it more compactly. |

I was re-admiring the picture you posted of your beautiful blue Kenmore Magicord and noticed your dusting brush seems to have the Sears badge and the other two say Kenmore. Are they all supposed to say one or the other? |
