Anyone know how to lubricate one of these ball-bearing steel brushrolls? Where would I put the lubricant and what would I use? Any help is appreciated. |

Back. Note the replaceable attachment clips and the super-stretchy hose! |

Underside-Ball bearing brushroll with stiff, replaceable brushes and an idler for when the machine is upright. |

Manual and OEM belts! The belt installed on the machine (it sat in a box stretched out for 8 years) was completely rigid. |

Notice how the wheels pivot under the machine--Simplicity/Riccar don't do this, only the earliest models that were sourced from Panasonic |

'Made for' Bernina--the Swiss were not about to take the fall if this was a bad product, lol (it's certainly not!) |

Branding/serial. Nowhere does it mention Buckeye vac supply. Thermal overload switch, too! |

If anybody wants one, he's got more, I'm sure :) |

It's funny. Back in the early 2000s I had never even heard of Bernina...and now I think I essentially have a clone of one. A cirrus. And now after 5 years with it...The only thing I've had to replace on it was the handle...I really love this vacuum and how cheap it is to operate it (bags/belts/filters). It does go through belts. Someone on here told me if I buy a pack of belts to keep them in the fridge. I wrote down the last time I changed it and it was 1 yr 2 mos ago. I noticed it needs changing. This last pack of belts I bought are panasonic.
I would love a HIGH END vacuum but this will do.. |
