    I have the exact model plus the earlier green model complete with tool caddy. I did take my Vibra Beat totally apart to give a thorough cleaning. Put it back together and it would no longer beat. Took it apart again and realized not all of the little tubes are not the same size. Got out another one and reassembled by using the other as a sample. Works great again. I still use mine regularly on my house of laminate. I have a supply of bags that will outlast me. There is a company online that will recreate the original L bag. Unfortunately I can’t remember the name. Love your videos but the volume is very low. Stay well🌈

    Interesting and informative - thank you! Jae would be honored if he were here. Electrolux Corporation's automatic upright was designed by Fred R. Burgess and George Schick for Consolidated Foods. According to the manual 'Automatic' referred to the "change bag" light that lights when the bag is full or missing (by industry definition an "automatic" nozzle has no height adjuster but "automatically" adjusts itself). The patent was filed in October 1976 (which is around the time production would have begun) and granted in August 1978. The 'E' model number suffix apparently stands for 'enhanced' and was used on several models that were improved. Doesn't this model have an onboard clean-out rod?

I think the power brush is not working, it plugs in fine and makes a brushing “sound” when dragging back, but not pushing fwd. on carpet, it seems to be inconsistent. Suction is good with attachments, seems weak with brush/floor piece. I can’t find manual on-line. Is this worth fixing?? Thanks for insight/suggestions!!

    Hey Karl excellent choice for July 4th. Here where I born only two vacuum cleaners where manufactured with excellent sales success one was a close cousins of this machine. Eureka in the late 60 or 70 to early 80 didn’t sold under its brand any cleaner. So two models from Eureka where locally manufactured and sold, one show here the other it’s the big one in metal, but with their accessories made in the USA, probably manufactured by a Eureka provider at the end for more than 30 to 40 years only this two Eureka like were sold here, this machines where sold under an electric appliances manufacturer (1:1 domestic) called Koblenz. The other machine was the competitor and from Sweden also made under license but they used also a couple of brands. By the way since that color it’s superb.

    Thanks for this Karl. There is definitely a problem with the suction on this MobileAire Eureka as the VibraBeat should have broadcast an annoying clattering sound in order for it to be working properly. Consumer Reports did not find that the vibrating rubber tubes helped with dirt removal - they famously said the nozzle provided “much ado about nothing”!!! In retrospect, the vibrating tubes may have beaten the carpet, but would then block the dirt from being sucked up into the airflow of the wand. It was a counterproductive design. I would venture that the braided hose is leaking lots of air and/or that the suction relief dial may be leaking lots of air no matter where you set the dial.

      It can if I push it down, but it slowly comes back up, so I let it rest where it’s at so that it doesn’t break.

    Yes, do the Kirby commercial review. Knowing Kirby however, the differences between commercial and domestic will be the color of a decal or something?

      Oh they’re quite a bit diff looking than domestic models. Most commercial Kirbys were painted rather than polished aluminum and had elongated front nozzles. I have filmed a couple with my friend Jared down in Oregon in my Visit to Jared’s videos if you want to see a couple of them. Thank you for watching! :)

    Thanks for this video Karl! I have always wondered if the twin-fan concept ever resulted in greater dirt pick- up than standard single fan “fan-first” uprights. From my decades of reading Consumer Reports vacuum tests, I have never seen a Singer Twin-Fan upright (or clone) at the top of the ratings. Or even near the top of the ratings….when compared to a Kirby or a Eureka or a Hoover “fan-first” upright.

    • @Konstellation_Karl_55
      @Konstellation_Karl_55 Місяць тому

      Oh interesting! Yah the Twin Fans were okay home cleaners, but they definitely didn’t hold a candle to Eureka or Kirby. I guess that’s why we rarely see commercial versions of Singers and Kenmores (aside from the “Heavy Duty” variants). Thank you for watching!

    Recently found your channel and enjoy the material, old custodian here. Spent 33 years in the field starting in the early 80's. I used many different models and sizes. I think I used one of these. You did not show the bottom. Do I remember correctly, did this have center motor with a shaft on both sides that drove the two impeller fans? And boy, do I remember the old shake out bags. Ugh!. Most custodians would give the bag a shake or two and call it good. They did not realize just how plugged with dirt the transition space at the collar to the bag could get. Sometimes it would take a screwdriver to bust it open.

    • @Konstellation_Karl_55
      @Konstellation_Karl_55 Місяць тому

      Oh wow! That’s cool! Yep this design is a twin fan, so 2 impellers, one on each side of the motor with one side of the armature being longer to drive the belt on the left side
