I'd sell it along with a Red hand Vac and a matching toy vac. If anyone is interested in the Can Vac, stright suction attachments. So it went to the trash and again was something I was going to order new from Royal. I have the Can Vac in Red that was in that line up. Would take it out there every weekend to clean up. I had 2 rugs out there and wicker furniture with cushions. When I had my older, 2 story house, with a Front porch. Always regret that I did NOT order the attachments from Royal. ![]() It will clean most short nap rugs very well, steps, and does a great job on hard floors too. Had an a one room apt for one year, with a 5x7 rug. Guess I was all flummoxed & diverted in my thinking by the Hoover's dirty air configuration & plug-in hose for tool use.I have the Same Red Model that Brian has pictured. Lending this to a gal with a shaggy small dog so we'll see how it goes. Found some black tools and a wand extension to fill those empty spaces. The hose has a handled removable wand end that connects to the fitting & short hose leading to the brushroll intake and so the hose is always ready to use with tools. The DD hose runs through the back directly into the paper bag with clean air suction - and lots of it. Never mind - I was having a moment of idiocy. ![]() Because of this the hose & tools are more of a dubious affectation than of any real use. "But there doesn't seem to be any mechanism for diverting full suction mainly to the hose when it is wanted and used with the tools (like Hoovers with the plug-n hose or a sliding door across the brushroll inlet on Cleaning Tools setting). Post# 40560, Reply# 27 at 23:25 (5,624 days old) by aeoliandave (Stratford Ontario Canada) ![]() Can anyone explain what I'm missing?Ĭertainly nowhere near the high quality thick plastic and internal ribbing as a Hoover upright bagged of similar 'vintage'. But there doesn't seem to be any mechanism for diverting full suction mainly to the hose when it is wanted and used with the tools (like Hoovers with the plug-n hose or a sliding door across the brushroll inlet on Cleaning Tools setting). The suction through the brushroll and bag chamber are fantastic. When I was at Ellison's Vac shop this aft Bill had one just like it in for repair. All I have is the wand.Īnother of the free curbside gleans from Thorndale, a Dirt Devil Swivel Glide Platinum with rear casters rather than straight wheels, it's up and running again. :-) On the backside are slots & holders for crevice tool, upholstery brush, dusting brush and wand extension. So I was happy to drag home this blue bagged one with the heart shaped corner brushless nozzle. There's something about Flaming Red Dirt Devils that makes me see red. You can check on ebay for the attachments and I recomend for bags and belts. You can use Dirt Devil hand vac attachments if you don't mind a 3 foot hose. Broom vacs did have attachment kits available but they are rare now. Just for reference this model takes Dirt Devil style 2 belts and type E paper bags. This is as far as an inexperienced person should go before things start to get tricky. From here you can inspect for fan damage. This will expose most everything, including the motor, fan, stone shield, and handle support parts. Then you can take one side of the machine off. If you want you can cut it in half where the two sides split. At this point you might want to carefully remove half of the Dirt Devil sticker on the top of the vacuum. Then remove all of the screws on the left (I think) side of the machine. ![]() To begin, you need to remove the 2 screws that hold the base plate in place. The other half supports the motor, switch, and wiring. The side with the screw holes is the empty half. For now I'll just give you a general overview of the disasembly procedure.
