Bissell 2191 #7 Examination And Bath Time Part 1

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Great Video Bill looking forward to follow up . My misses would kill me if I cleaned my Kirbys in the bath though 😂

[@TRec3791]

If you ever want a free vacuum, go out and find a trash pick and clean it up and presto you got a vacuum 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♂️

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

The best way.

[@Adeline9418]

I actually used to do that. Wish I had all the ones I found.

[@nonelost1]

Since 2014, I have been picking dozens of vacuums out of the dumpsters or by the dumpsters of our huge apartment complex. Most of them I have been able to salvage just by cleaning them up and doing minor repairs. Right now I have two of those model 2191s that I found just in the last week, including one just today.

How do fix a broken rear wheel? Any help would be appreciated Thanks for the great videos

[@VacLab]

Replace the wheel. But it's probably not worth the effort.

[@prudentcustomer3594]

I have one of these that is a peach/pink color trim. I haven't seen many like it. I wonder if it was an early version of this style Bissell.

[@seanspangler7963]

I just got me a purple one from the thirft store it works great my bottom cord hook is broken but it’s works fine even with it broken

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

Great pick up Bill came up really clean

[@TRec3791]

Share your stuff, sharing is caring 🥰🥰

[@vacuumtests9225]

Another great find! People really abuse their vacuums, but you come and save them. That's great way of getting good working vacuum for free :)

I’m gonna imagine the handle having no screws they thought it was broken and got tired of messing with the handle and threw it away.

[@VacLab]

That might be a possibility.

[@shocfacter]

Hello. I have this same vacuum. The other day I turned it on and it came on for a second, shut off and ive not been able to get it to turn on again. Of course, I checked different outlets and all the other obvious OUTSIDE possibilities so its definitely the vacuum. Does my issue sound like it may be a blown motor? I was hoping there was a re-set switch in there somewhere but it doesnt like like thats the case.

[@VacLab]

Sounds like bad wiring and/or bad motor.

[@shocfacter]

@@VacLab Oh ok. thanks much. I thought so. I did run my fingers over the cord. Its smooth with no gashed or anything so ill bet its the motor

[@nonelost1]

Out of dozens of trash picks over the last nine years, I have never had one with a motor that doesn’t run. I had one 28 year old Rainbow that had a bearing noise on the main motor, and a few that may have been a little “screechy”, but that’s it. I would check the power switch first.

[@captain150]

Something to be said for ultra cheap plastic vacuums. As long as the motor is OK, the rest of it can be cleaned back to near-new. A metal vacuum with that much wet mud in it would've rusted bad.

[@VacLab]

Not really. Aluminum doesn't rust over a few days or even months when covered in "mud". Steel can though.

[@ElizabethPolkowski-s6s]

How do I fix the rubber around the canister

[@VacLab]

Replace the assembly, but it might not be worth the trouble.

[@jarrio_D1]

For a Trash picked Vacuum, i'm shocked how clean inside the Container was when you open it

[@charlesrodriguez7984]

Ahhhh! Too many bissells!

[@Adeline9418]

Whats your personal vacuum?

[@VacLab]

All 80 of them.

[@Alejandro12386]
