Thanks Bill, I guess some people have more money than sense,I collect bags and belts for machines I don't even have,so that wasn't a problem, I just wiped it off and tested a small spot with Mothers Polish,so it still needs a beauty treatment. | ||

Yes Harley, It is a screamer,much like my Hoover Concepts,I wish all vacs were as quiet as a Lux or FQ, but when you add the power nozzle they are as noisy. | ||

Hi Alan, It makes me think how many other good vacuums and appliances go to the crusher. Mark | ||

This thread is making me roll on the floor laughing!
I love Swiveltop's title for this thread! "Curbside rescue".....hysterical! And who knew we could categorize a whole community of vacs as "screamers"? It's so true! As much as I loved my parents' old basic Eureka Bravo "sans on-board tools" (excellent carpet cleaner), it was a real screamer too! Sounded like a jet engine on a 747........ | ||

Yeah.... the Lux sounds good until you add the power nozzle! | ||

Lux Power nozzles are more whinners than screamers. Eureka sourced power nozzles, like used to be on the Rainbows are grumbly, but not unplesant. I wonder if it's just the added effect of another motor running at the same time, and their sound signature amplifies each other? | ||

Bobby, This one has the two speed switch in the handle,Most all of these vacs had the handle position switch, the replacement was probably of the bagless variety,it was early morning and still dark,so I couldn't see the box too good, but I can always spot a vacuum handle. | ||

Harley, I know what you mean about the rumble of a Kirby, When it's making that sound you know it's adjusted properly and doing it's job,My Heritage Two small head model and my G3 both have a great rumble to them on all my carpets,the G3 seems to adjust better to bare floors. | ||

A quiet power nozzle is possible like the Hibbert one on my Samsung vac. It's no bigger than the turbo nozzle on the new Hoover Connie and it's for sake of argument silent. Quieter than the Connies turbo nozzle. Dave and Chad can back me up on that. Plus it works. | ||

oops Hit the post button instead of preview, meant to say I can't remember what hardcase models they offered between the Whirlpool design and the Panasonic,or was there a gap there? | ||

Making it a weekend project to sort & separate into new locations, to clear up main floor space...because there were so many uprights in the piano room I couldn't get to the pianos to play rolls. Set up a Singer/Kenmore/Eureka stall in the basement and all the Hoovers are lining up in the attic space with the Sunbeams. For now, these are my Kenmore 2 speed and the Sunbeam Psycobag twinfans. The Singer was a gift from xraytech Sam Geresti to go with Elphaba, the Challenged Sunbeam. Thanks Sam - Love the carpet height mechanism that rotates both axles in a way that rocks & tilts the vacuum, rather than simply lifting one axle. While both look alike up top they are quite different underneath the roll plate. Neato. I'm on the lookout for a headlight lens...

Sumbeam Hi Dave, That looks like a real heavy duty twin fan upright,I remember that 70's mod bag on the Kenmores of that era, That hood looks unique,it is taller like the latter one but but has the casting on the metal base like the first low hood models,rare find. | ||
