One of my vacuums seemed to be getting weak so I pulled it out of the van and replaced it with a totally rebuilt one. OMG!, I couldn’t believe the difference. I can’t stress enough how important it is to keep your vacuums maintained properly.
My vacuum got really LOUD on me. A high pitched annoying sound. Seems like it happened over night too. Cleaned it out and didnt solve the problem. Any suggestions?
Mine got really loud awhile back and I replaced the fan. It was chewed up pretty good. Works alot better and sounds like new.
could be any number of bearings: motor, pulley, beater bar?
I keep a close watch on my fan. After a while the motor needs to be replaced as well. I probably replace my motor at least once a year. Makes a huge difference. I also replace my brush bar about 3 times per year. That too can make a big difference in how effective your vac works.
THe hoover conquest has a cloth bag similar to the porta-vac buy a few extras and wash them with your bonnets 🙂
Relacing the bag is so easy and inexpensive $75 per year makes the hassle of emptying the dust cup and shaking the heck out of the cloth bag old news. Plus I never have to worry about starting up the vac with the customer present and having them see the puff of dust coming out of the cloth bag. Another plus is I dont’ have any issues with brushing the cloth bag on a wall corner or furniture and leaving a dust mark.
EXACTLY! That is what I have been saying for about 7 years now. I have also been using the reusable bags that come with the full bag set up. These work great and save money. I have 3 and if one gets too dirty to shake out well, I can just put a clean one in. I blow them out at the end of the day if necessary.
