And the glamor shots. Big fat smooch for this vacuum. Only $41. I'm still pinching myself. | ||

If you squint hard enough or there is enough alcohol involved I guess you could mistake it for a Hoover Spirit or similar, heh, heh, heh. | ||

Very nice find, I like that machine, job well done. I do have one complaint about those powerheads and its not a big one. The air flow is not strong perhaps due to the large opening? I have gaps at the edge of carpets and floor and I have to run it over there several times to pick up cat litter, the Lux or Miele I don't.I figure it has to be the large opening, they have a great brush.

John, Nevada is pretty far from Pittsburgh, are you sure it's worth the drive?
I hear HOOVER air is cheap these days, you can buy tickets at your local authorized Hoover dealer!
(For those who don't get the joke, that's the famous Hoover model 68 convertible colo balloon from 'who's minding the store', Norman certainly didn't fix the broken vacuum cleaner, he broke it and the repairmens foot!)

No, I changed the brush roll. The old one was worn out. | ||

Darn, now I can't wait to get home and flip a couple of older Powermates over to count the bars, lol. Isn't it funny the things that get us all excited. You are probably right because the base was not as dirty as I expected. You have a good eye for detail! | ||

Haha. Well when you said it was quieter I was like hmm even mine with the beater bar setup and new bearings is not quiet, then I saw the bottom and was like ahh ha. I might have a extra base and brush if you want | ||
