    What happened to the "new" Aerus Upright?

    I hope He comes soon!!!!! but I looked at the Platinum lux and I want one. I want to see the old school as well as the new school merge. I like to see metal come back and the digital motors get bigger and more powerful. Does that Platinum Lux have a brushless motor?

    Motor Design

    I like the idea of two motors. Next time I go through Missouri I will stop at that museum and factory. If I can sell some stereos, I may get a simplicity something. I like canisters more than uprights. they have a blue canister. it is expensive though 1200 bucks. I can buy two Dysons for...

    That is a nice Dyson,, just don't like pink,,, If it was aqua that would be the bomb. but pink,,, maybe it's the picture I would like to have one with that digital motor. the only thing I fear with those digital motors is, the bearings at that speed how long can it last without replacing...

    I hate them too. I wrote to them as I was in a gas station where I live and they installed them when they renovated the place, and they are so loud and so annoying I for one refuse to use them I will walk out with wet hands (not the end of the world) and I wrote to them asking why are their...

    In the US we have another hand dryer I detest as my ears are very sensitive. is the ecelerator Man that is really loud and I can't be in the same room with one of them. they are fairly quiet when running (sounds like a canister vacuum) but when someone puts their hands under it,, it is...

    I was in Michigan and on my way there I stopped at a casino. In the restroom there is a Dyson hand dryer. It has so much power it is ridiculous. I looked them up online, they show the motor that Mr. James Dyson was holding and it looks like it is the size of a small soda can. Ok how can a...

    Motor Design

    One more thing regarding cords. I use a red Kirby cord. It has the IEC or DIN end like a computer, has a slit cut into it where a ground would be, it fits into my motor. I don't know what a new Nilfisk cord would cost,, and don't want to know :>)

    I love my plastic Nilfisk hoses. I don't like the green hoses that came with my big nilfisks, they are unruly and a pain in the a$$ to use. I remember my Mother had an Electrolux in the 70s and it had the cloth hose and seemed to be stiff as my green Nilfisk hoses. I hate those green hoses.

    Yes the power nozzle looks a lot like a power nozzle my friend's Kenmore has. it is one of those bagless ones. My Nilfisk power nozzle has a step on and off power switch on the top of it. Maybe drill a 3/8 hole and go to mouser or online place and get a push on push off switch install it in a...

    Yes my electrified hose has that swivel. I only have two Nilfisk cords for all the ones I have. I use a Kirby legend red colored cord as one of my Nilfisk cords is craking and can see wire through the insulation. I also use a computer cord and then an extension cord. I like mine. I have a...

    oh the hose,, you just turn it counter clockwise and it will come out. It has four tits that lock into the receptacle. Once removed you'll see those four tits and the cut out of them in the vacuum. Clock wise to tighten it. give it a good twist it is in there fairly tight.
