Easy Housekeeping Shops

Yes this place does vacuum repair, but they repair sewing machines too.
I brought mine in after it got all messed up with thread wrapped around all the machine *innards*. After they fixed MY mess up, the super nice man behind the counter explained what happened. Lo and behold I had been loading the thread wrong, and not only did they fix it, he gave me a lesson in how to properly load it.
Highly recommend this place!

What a great store. Very organized (right when you walk in there is a sign for you to fill out your tag with your info) and I dropped off my Kenmore canister vacuum and they called the next day with an update and I picked it up a day later. The guy is super nice and labor + parts only ran me $ 60 — and he put in a new bag! Sears was going to charge $ 65 just for labor. Excellent work, highly recommended. And, they take any form of payment (Amex! cash, check, all credit cards).

I went to this place based on the other review. The pedal to make my vacuum go up or down broke. The man I spoke with was very honest and said he can fix it but he’d advise me not too because it’s a poor design and will likely break again. I’m really big into honesty. I’m not going to fix it now but will definitely go back to this store in the future.

This is one of those places that you drive by all your life and never realize it’s there. This is one of those old houses that have been turned into a vacuum repair and sales shop. «Who would EVER go there?!?» I used to think.
Well, I’ll tell you who. I go there. And here’s why.
My vacuum’s belt broke. I didn’t even know you could replace those. I was gonna buy a new vacuum because isn’t that what you do when stuff breaks?! We live in an era of disposable technology; if it’s broke, chuck it and buy the new model.
After trying all the local hardware stores, I was lucky enough to be directed towards this place. It seriously looks like nothing. An old white New England home with signs for vacuum repair and numerous vacuums out on the front porch. I’ve driven by here a million times and never even knew it existed.
I was desperate to fix my vacuum and ran inside hoping to find the correct belt. I knew the part #, and had the old belt with me. You walk inside this place and the first thing you notice is the SMELL. It smells like CLEAN. Really cool. Smells like you buried your face in a new carpet.
The place was open a few minutes before the opening time posted — and people were actually coming OUT of the place with vacuum parts they had just bought. Busy place! Who knew such a store did business anymore?!
The friendly guy behind the counter was able to pick out my correct belt within seconds. $ 3 later I’m out the door. Vacuum now works like it’s old crappy self.
This place was a lifesaver. I almost wish I didn’t find it because I really wanted a new vacuum. Something futuristic with an ipod dock or something. That would be cool.
Also learned — those «Dyson» vacuums are total crap. That’s all he repairs here. If you have an older canister Electrolux vacuum — hang onto that sucker for all you’re worth because those things last forever — no joke. Dyson = disposable technology. They don’t make’em like they used to, folks. Well, at least Dyson is keeping this guy in business. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have guests coming over and need to finish vacuuming…
