Hello, I'm new to Vacuumland. I'm wondering if anyone on Vacuumland has or knows about this model of Shop vac. It's a blue Shop vac hang up (Black top, blue bottom.) model 2015. When I got this a year ago, the brass bushing was making a groaning noise and a grinding noise when you'd turn it on. I lubricated the brass bushing yesterday with 2 drops of motor oil and the groaning noise went away. It still makes a grinding noise when you'd turn it on. But at least the groaning noise is gone. I don't know when it was made. But I'll post pictures of it tomorrow or sooner today if I get a chance.

Here's a picture of the Shop vac I'm talking about. The turbine tool came from a Eureka cyclonic vacuum that me and my dad took apart and saved some parts from it before throwing the rest away. The model of Eureka I used to own was a red cyclonic Whirlwind plus (model-3277AVZ). It also smelt kinda bad.

Most shop vacs match color of big box seller. Orange is home Depot, red Wal Mart, blue Lowe's and or but probably not Sears. I'm thinking it's a made for Lowe's shop vac.

It most likely is, since the Goodwill I got this from was a couple miles from a Lowe's.

I thought I lubricated My Shop Vac on Sunday when I made the first post. I actually lubricated it on Saturday.

Yeah, I thought Lowes too because I remember seeing Shop Vacs there that were gray/blue.

I like these mini shop vacs, and they are great for cleaning the car, since they have strong suction and are light and compact to move around the vehicle.

With a dusting brush they detail the dashboard and vents well, controls, etc.
I bet it would work good on carpet and mats with that turbo tool.
