Hey, I wanted to show everybody what I found at Goodwill today-Hoover windtunnel self-propelled(I only paid $9.99 for it ) do you think it was a good deal? It came with all of the attachments and the only thing wrong with it is the switch is kind of funny- it only works when you move it a certain way-any ideas? I am posting some "before" pictures. -very dirty!!

WOW 
Id say it was a good deal Dustin. It will clean up nicyly,as for the switch the plastic pece and/or the switch probably has a worn spot. Its not a hard fix at all,a bead of good glue or an epoxy should cure that. Put the drive handle in the Off/neutral position take the 2 screws off in the back at the carry handle and examine the switch mechinism. you may have to get creative in putting something there to "reconstruct" the plastic arm. If you need help give me a call.Ill be on the road soon, I may/maynot get a signal where Im going but you can text me also. 401-996-1948. Hope this helps... | ||

Uh oh. I must confess Bobby, on the 2 windtunnels I had I did take the plastic tool cover off. Almost every time I opened it I got cut by the edges. The Savvy I have now is almost 3 years old and I still have the cover on it because the edges where you put your thumb to open it is rounded and dosnt cut my skin.

I took these pictures out on the porch because my camera batteries didnt have enough juice left in them to use the flash. By the way, it works perfectly, picks up VERY well, and is easy to push. Do I really need to replace the belts? The self-propel belt seems ok, its a little cracked, but its not slipping. the brush roll belt looks fine to me, but I have never had one of these before.

uh...
Now I think I need to replace the belts.. I just got home from helping a lady from our church get things packed up- she has to stay at a motel for a week so they can fix the ceiling in her apartment(her neighbor upstairs left the bath running and overflowed the tub,soaked her ceiling) that happened in january, they are fixing it tomorrow. she wanted me to bring a vacuum-NO PROBLEM... so I thought I was about to vacuum up a small scrap of thin plastic covering and oops! It was the plastic covering off of a chair. the plastic wrapped around the brush faster than I could think and the next thing the apartment smelled like burning rubber. YEAH... I think I need new belts. It still works though,the belts didnt break.
