I'm not sure what parts to look for...I'll have to get on their website and poke around a bit.<BR/><BR/>I have to cut a lot of hair off ours, too, and thread from sewing projects gets wound up on it as well. Unless someone comes up with a beater brush that isn't a rapidly rotating cylinder, I think we're all stuck with that chore.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12333649634860097414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706228562873668290.post-4232871644307113492008-03-12T05:51:00.000-05:002008-03-12T05:51:00.000-05:00Vicki, when it first happened, I didn't think we c...Vicki, when it first happened, I didn't think we could get a replacement chord. The Hoover website didn't show that they had parts for our vacuum so I figured it was just too old. After reading that you are still getting parts for yours, I widened my search and actually found the replacement cord! So we are going to try that first. Hope it works!Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00664895690600282835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706228562873668290.post-37201762388957683822008-03-11T19:52:00.000-05:002008-03-11T19:52:00.000-05:00We do have Kirby (actually 2--old), and they have ...We do have Kirby (actually 2--old), and they have to have the hair cleaned at least bi-weekly or it gets wrapped around and into the bearings. So it is not justyour problem, except that we have as much hair at our house as you do. I don't really like the Kirbys because of that problem. But I will say, that we have had one for 21 years (it was used when we got it) and another for 10 years (it was used when it was given to us). Pete has replaced beater bars, handles (don't ask), and the thing you push down with your foot to change the height,and a cord--oh and the fan blade because I sucked up a rock with the hose attachment on. Not too bad all in all. BTW you only mentioned the cord on your old one. If that's all that is wrong; it can be replaced a whole lot cheaper than getting a new vacuum.walkmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14728648852375826408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706228562873668290.post-9212274929939865272008-03-11T15:08:00.000-05:002008-03-11T15:08:00.000-05:00Sorry we use a central vac and have no carpet othe...Sorry we use a central vac and have no carpet other than area rugs now.
