I own the following Lux models:
Model XXX canister only(i restored)
Model 1205, purchased at a yard sale - in mint condition.
Super J (canister only) from a used vac shop
Silverado Deluxe - my first purchase when I was 18 from a used vac shop
Rennaisance - not my favorite, but it piqued my curiosity as I rummaged a used vac shop and the owner cut me a good deal.
Aerus Lux Ultra - one of my favorite modern Lux vacuums. I purchased it new in 2013.
I also purchased a brand new Filter Queen Majestic. I have had the Filter Queen since January 2015, coming up on a year and I love it. The FQ has become my favorite vac so far, followed by the Aeurus Guardian Ultra.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Near mint Electrolux Olympia One, Model G (turquoise and tan).
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Ever since I played with my great-grandmother's Electrolux Silverado Deluxe, at 2 years old, I found out I had a love for Lux's. I bought my very first used lux when I turned 18 with my own money - a Silverado Deluxe. I have since purchased 6 more all in very good to excellent condition
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
All the Lux's listed plus -
Kirby Heritage
Kirby G3
Kirby Diamond Edition
- All others I've kept. I tried to get into Kirby's, but my heart just wasn't there. So, I sold each of those on craigslist.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
I haven't really repaired - I've mostly just taken them apart to polish and clean.
