Whats a good place to buy genuine type R bags for Electrolux/Aerus vacuums.

British model..... Just kidding, obviously image was "Flipped" L-R somehow....

Belt Lifter How do you turn it, with brute strength? Seems like you would get blisters doing so. That is a really nice looking vacuum, a ton of work, well done!

I was inspecting my new vacuum and it appears there is a "clip" or something like that missing from the power nozzle "Elbow" I have attached a photo. First, is there supposed to be something in this square hole, I am thinking yes as it would help keep the 2 rotating parts lined up. Second, if...

I just picked up a Lux 9000 for $20.00, it's in pretty good shape and appears to be all there including the Sidekick, but is missing the 2? wands......question. Does the Lux 9000 require 2 identical wands, or are the 2 different? I know it requires the newer type with the 2 "Prods" etc. I...

Confused It says you want to sell it, but your link takes me to a FB page that appears to have vacuums, but I don't see links to purchase etc. Thanks

Electrolux G Can you email me and let me know more details?

Model E Post Bag Filter I have a very early E and it has the filter installed. But if you check out this guy's page he says that it was recommended that it be removed after newer bags were invented as the filter was no longer needed and actually restricted airflow and caused other issues...

Read this one........"wet behind the ears" comes to mind..... Kirby (Reseda CA) I am Dealer Rep for a company called SVK in Simi Valley. I live in Reseda, CA and I do appointment settings as well as demonstrations in the comfort of your own home for a top of the line vaccum and carpet...

Does not hurt to ask, but I would love to purchase a nice Electrolux Model G in great shape, or one that can be made to look nice easily.

Curbed G3 Years ago, I was driving home near my house, it was a rainy night. It was trash night and as I drove past this one house, I noticed a chrome looking vacuum cleaner...."Royal or Kirby?" I thought as a slammed on the brakes....I grabbed a very nice G3 and a full set of attachments, book...

But wait........... That looks like an "Ultimate Kirby" of later vintage? To tell the truth, I don't see much difference in any Kirby models from G3 up until Sentria...........colors etc, but I doubt even a Sentria out sucks a G3?

G6 Emptor? The lady I bought this rig from claimed to have worked for KIRBY...........I asked her about "Scott & Fetzer" and she knew crap........but who knows, this might be a "KIRBYSTEIN"

I found this one on CL, owner said it had a "Blown Motor" so I took a chance, paid $20.00 as it looked nice....no attachments etc...... Reeked of nicotine and all other bad things......removed copious amounts of hair from brush roll........replaced belt with burnt through area........put on a...

who made the brushroll? No I don't know who made the funky one(s) but I found it funny that they were the exact same one, one shipped across country and the other one at a local Vacuum shop. I only really posted this as an FYI and I agree with the poster above, Genuine is probably better in...
