At Jeff's. We should clarify that the Fred you were referring to was "Little Fred" - Fred Stachnik, a total Hoover geek and great guy! He got me my new Hoover Constellation. Great machine - enjoy! Now, I am waiting to see you in toreador pants and ballerina flats! Don't let me down. You are dealing with some great vac folks - Jeff, Tom and L'il Fred. We love to lure people into this crazy hobby. Looks like they picked a great machine to do it! BTW everyone, has anyone noticed who is vacuuming with a Dial-A-Matic on the button for Vacuum-Of-The Day? |

I'm glad you like the cleaner and that it will have a good home. I remember you'd wanted a DAM for a while, and that one matches your Floor-a-Matic! Enjoy it my friend! |

HI All, I got a self propelled DAM (brown in colour) a few months ago which runs great but I don't think really cleans the carpet all that well. I put in a new belt, new brushroll strips but the brush just doesn't seem to come in close enough contact with the carpet. Since there is no manual adjustment for the head I was wondering if anyone had ideas how to lower the front of the machine....or is this just how they are built. The saying 'it beats, as it sweeps, as it cleans' doesn't apply to this DAM. Thanks, Gary |
