Bag lock out switch = no start By the looks of the picture showing the front end, if the bottom of the door isn't securely attached, the plunger at the bottom right had corner of the bag chamber may not be pushed down all the way, consequently the vac will not start/run. I've also seen where...

Suction Ratings Dave, What I have found in regards to suction ratings, today you'll get a reading, tomorrow it could be different. I have found that it depends on the altitude, (lower elevation produce more inches of lift) the barometric pressure, and how many volts are coming through the...

Electrolux bag hole 3 inches extra suction Dave When I've blocked mine off, I got about three extra inches of lift. If you're trying to get a reading at the machine end, on the generic hoses you can buy an adapter to fit into the machine end of the hose, I use this part to take my suction...

You guys are right about the first blue canister having the older style wands, the Epic 6000. Yes, you could take the hose from the newer style wands (epic 6500, lux 7000, legacy etc) and use it in an older machine. But, But, the later model newer style wands, and even the hoses for the older...

Lux old style hose handles and wands Bob, Aerus still has the old style hose handles and wands, it comes as standard equipment on their "Classic" canister.

The color is changing to an off white from the light bluey white, the guardian supposedly will now have an integrated hepa filter. The guardian supposedly will be unveiled when Aerus has their convention either in June/July in Montreal??

Rob, I think, (could be wrong though) the reason consumer reports is different, is that they are checking for how quickly the airflow drops off as the bag fills. The bags in the guardian are larger in size than the regular style c canisters. Hence more surface area to filter. So in theory, it...

I just picked up a used one, in excellent shape, but on high speed, on low pile carpet that is not glued down, (kinda like a berber style) I find the powerhead just about sticks to the carpet, making it hard to push. It has the SEB 217 powerhead. Is this normal for this powerhead?? The power...

They are repairable. Which Ultralux do you have?? the metal body style or the plastic style that came out a few years ago?? The reason I ask is that they have different cordwinders. Vernon

Thermax three stage motor Sam, consider getting the thermax with a three stage motor as opposed to a double stage. Your lift will go from 112 to 136. At 136, you're getting close performance with units that have two, two stage motors. I have a crusader model 3690 with an external heater, it has...

Many Thanks Doug!! Many of us will be grateful for this bit of information!! Vernon

Doug, The one that I adapted had the rubber end on and so far things are working out quite well for me. Might not be the best set up, but so far so good. Vernon

YES YOU CAN!! Yes, you can use an Electrolux upright hose on the Z86,88,89 versions. I have adapted one and it works fine. The one that I adapted is the one that has the plastic hose machine end, not the metal end. What I did was remove the metal/silver collar on the old machine end, this gave...

One thing nice about the Silverado version, if it has the SJ style motor, armatures and brushes are readily available for rebuild. You can even find the sleeve bearing if you're lucky. The fan bearing is the standard 608. I always use the 608ZZ versions. (I find they have much less drag on the...

Pete, yes you are right regarding the brushes, the ones for the carpet are black in color, the ones for scrubbing the floor are brownish in color. Terry, pre-treating the carpet with the lux, letting the chemical act for 10-15 minutes, then scrubbing the carpet with the shampooer and then...

Switch in handle To turn a Lux polisher/shampooer on, as soon as you release the handle and begin to lower it, this will activate the power switch.

Has anyone seen these newer models??? What is the difference in power nozzles between these two and their bigger siblings the Riccar 1700/Simplicity S36?? Vernon

Mike and or Alex, In Canada, at Sears the OEM Kennmore two pack HEPA bags sell around $16. (last time I checked prices) Walmart Canada is carrying the Endust Brand two pack Hepa bags for Kenmore at a price of $8.47. I don't know whom is selling Endust Brand Hepa bags in the US, I guess it's a...

Sorry Mike, I misread, I thought it was a diplomat lx or ultralux lx, in which case the motors I mentioned would work. With the boot you are describing, it sounds more like an sj stlye motor. I do know that Lux does have one to fit the sj version, but be prepared to pay around $180. Don't know...

All Lux motors Start with 6500 All the two stage Lux motors that have the black plastic on them start with 6500. If you go to ebay type in electrolux motor you'll find a replacement that looks like it. There's one motor that many are selling for $99. It has 6500-293. The Current lux replacement...
