Default What sets vacuums apart?



Depends on...I've found a number of their 1980s or so canister vacuums on
the curb and found most of them to have no problem at all. Sometimes I even
got the accessories. (That said, I do need a set of bearings that would be
suitable for use with one of their canister vacuums. I have one that the
front motor bearing is blown on. It runs but shrieks like the dickens and
makes everyone want to hide! I haven't been able to find replacements, not
even from Electrolux.)



Well when you can find them used for next to nothing then anything can
be a bargain, again they're not bad products, just vastly overpriced new.

Have you tried McMaster Carr? I got a bearing from them for the air pump
in my hot tub, it had sat full of water for months and the bearing was
shot but McMaster had something that fit perfectly.
