Apparently when I set up the vacuum I missed the rubber gasket that goes between the container and the air intake. Is there somewhere I can get one?

If you are talking about the gasket between the dust cup (ie container) and the lower opening on the backbone, I called Eureka about this and they sent me a free replacement gasket. However, the gasket they sent did not fit. So they ended up sending an entire replacement vacuum. I noticed that the new vacuum has a protective lip, so a gasket is not needed (or is not visible). Anyway, call them!

Hi! I think Amazon does not sell parts for this vacuum, but you can find it at the Bissell website: http://www.bissell.com/parts/?id=9143&sc;=product&productid;=2586&st;=1

Go to amazon.com and it is all listed there.BTW This is a great product but try to get a spare gasket if possible. (I have not found a source yet.)

The fit is precise but that's a good thing to avoid leakage. Try pressing down on the handles before twisting to open as that could help break the seal on the rubber gasket. No tool as far as I know. Good luck!

I just checked the manual. There is no area to hook up a vacuum hose. Sorry.

The is no seal gasket as such. When you install this unit in the hole in the bottom of the tank and use the wrench that comes with it the rubber expands and makes the seal. Hope this helps.

Hi Sandy, you can order spare parts directly from BISSELL here: http://www.bissell.com/big-green-complete-deep-cleaner-vacuum/parts/?cid=ccsocial2107

Check with the seller. If not, you can search on Amazon. That's where I bought mine. Search for Kreepy Krauler vacuum hose.

Check Walmart.com or Panasonic.com or call stores. Unfortunately if you buy vacuum at Amazon they don't carry the parts & sometimes no one else has it.

Mine came with everything needed except the upper intake gasket. You might be able to get by without it but why risk it for less than 20 dollars.

There is a spot on their website for parts: http://ramsond.com/prodsupport.html The unit comes with a spare seal or two if I remember correctly; and make sure you followed all directions. I thought I had a huge air leak and all I really needed to do is pull the plunger into "up" position before hooking up the air hose.

Dan: I didn't find replacement gaskets for this set as each canister has a different diameter. What I ended up doing is purchasing a bag of Rubber Bands in "assorted sizes," and using the wide, thick bands, I put one underneath the gasket of one of the lids and it became tight, while it took three rubber bands (two side-by-side and one on top of those) to make the other lid gasket grip. My remaining two canisters in this set arrived air tight. It is a beautiful set, they just need some quality control inspectors to check the lids before selling them.--Caron

I would call a vacuum repair store. Most cities have them. The price of it was so inexpensive, I probably would not bother repairing it if it is old. I would just get a new unit if you like it that much.

i would check for a vacuum leak on the intake side before changing or adding a pump, if it works good some time, it sounds like a air leak .Lost of luck

yes, the rubber gasket is essential. I recommend you return it immediately. you will be disappointed otherwise.

Try calling Shop-Vac directly - we needed replacement of the bottom piece and they were very helpful. You should have an 800 number in your instruction booklet or look for them online.
