In that case, your only choice would be to remove the tubing and disconnect it from the control valve entirely. It's likely the control valve needs replacing entirely. While there is one for the 2100, Epic 6500 and Aerus Legacy, it's probably different enough not to fit the Model G.

Stephen, when you say you replaced the "tubing", are you referring to the clear tubing inside the bag door that hooks up to the control valve? If you haven't opened up the bag door and checked that tubing, do so now. Also, try running a small twist tie through the control valve openings, it may...

Cheesewonton, that's why I suggested linus2003 would need to use a metal Miele tool adapter on the end of the wand, so the wand would fit a 32 mm powerhead neck. And who knows if they do sell the Perfect battery PN in Europe, but I bet not since European countries don't have many canisters with...

I second Cheesewonton's suggestions. I would also suggest another solution, though, that may be more practical for your other vacuums too - a battery powernozzle. Wessel Werk makes one as the EBK360, which comes with it's own wand where the battery is stored. Another more practical one would be...

Welcome! That's a very nice early electric stick vacuum. I would donate it to a museum - it looks like a reproduction of the bag will have to be made since it's got a couple patches on it already, and due to the age of the cleaner it will need to be rewired for sure.

Antoine, report that dealer to Aerus Corporate! They won't like hearing a dealer being rude to customers!

Cheesewonton, you obviously have NOT done your homework on European filtration! If you had, you would see there are actually THREE different standards: Type A, Type B and Type C. Type A filters capture 99.97% of particles that are 0.3 microns in diameter. Type B filters capture 99.999% of...

Dave, I totally agree with you! Aerus won't be able to compete with Miele and Sebo if they don't have a HEPA Filter on their TOL model. Assuming the Platinum is truly gone, the sealed internals from the Guardian Ultra should be used in the Legacy, and redesign the top tool caddy/filter cover to...

Brian, unfortunately yes your warranty would not be valid in Canada on a American model Miele vacuum. I looked at the Miele.ca website, and also watched Performance Reviews video on it. It looks like there are only 3 powerhead models now - The Guard S1, Guard L1 in Nordic Blue, and the Guard...

In that 1st pic with the G5, there is a Patriot vacuum wand in behind. So there must be the rest of the vacuum somewhere. I would definitely pick that up, they are great canisters!

John, that's amazing you have a vacuum that you bought as a kid with newspaper route money, and it still works today 50 years later?! WOW! Well, at least with having it serviced regularly, you can say you got your money's worth out of that Hoover LOL. What's sad about today's world is, a kid...

Antoine, not necessarily. If I remember correctly, wasn't the first Compact C2 model designed to be used with just the cloth bag? I think it was the next model that Interstate introduced the paper bag. Louvac - look through the archives for old posts on the Compact, that will give you a clue...

I believe the Aerus Guardian Platinum/Lux Intelligence should be discontinued anyways. This model has been a HUGE headache for Aerus Electrolux! Inferior bags at the start, circuit boards blowing out, poor quality plastics being used in the canister - what else can possibly go wrong on this...

I would think there might have been a hollow metal barrel that went over the pin? Just a guess.

Cheeky circumvention eh Vacuum Facts? Seems like Dyson's take on this is the cheeky one, and doesn't make sense! The Panasonic design looks like it would "eject" the hair right into the middle into the suction path. I bet it would do a much more efficient job of eliminating hair wrap than the...
