Maybe I should post pictures of these HEPA modding possibilities later when I have the time...

BTW, Domel motors are also being used by Lux International. Lux D820, Lux Intelligence and S115 have them.

Mice tend to go places like this. In one D790 a mouse had made a visit and had chew a hole through the dustbag and even taken a bite of the HEPA filter! This one had found its way out though and couldn't be found dead inside the vacuum. In the Markus's case the dustbag was missing and the...

The material used in the picture as an ungraded pre-motor filter might reduce the suction quite significally when used with this particular machine. There are also other materialis available that work a bit better. Though they might let more dust through. Modding an Electrolux/Volta green HEPA...

I would still use a HEPA filter with these despite of using synthetic bags. The newer Lux models Intelligence and S115 have synthetic bags by default but still use HEPA filters. So using a synthetic bag doesn't completely make HEPA filters useless. The problem with the D790 is that the original...

I have a similar story but without a mouse! I got a D790 for free. The woman who gave the vacuum cleaner away for free had payed 100 euros for it and it originally belonged to an older man. She gave the machine away because it broke very soon after she had bought it. The original owner had also...

So it seems that nobody on this forum acutally owns a S115. Actually the floor power nozzle that I have with my Intelligence really needs improvement. Maybe the S115 one is better and that's why it looks different. Older Luxes like D820/Lux1 Royal had older style of power nozzle, like those...

Those older Electrolux models are getting a bit more rare these days. D790 is still a very common machine and I have even picked up one for free in Tampere. The 790s are often sold in Tori.fi or Huuto.net for quite a reasonable price. Interestingly my free one was made in Sweden and there were...

I recently got a Lux Intelligence vacuum cleaner peviously owned by my grandparents. They bought it back in 2011. My grandmother turns 90 soon and she is too old to use the machine herself, so she gave this wondeful appliance to me. I was just wondering what are the main differences between this...

Has anyone got any ideas between relationship between Vorwerk and LUX? I also noticed that Lux branded vacuum cleaners in Australia are Vorwerk machines when I searched for Lux vacuum cleaner related videos on Youtube. If I have understood right, Vorwerk is and old German manufacturer that has...

WD-40 can also be used getting adhesive residue off. Nobody mentioned that yet.

There must be a lot of vintage vacuum cleaner collectors on this forum but only this few are concerned about asbestos or know in which parts it was used when it comes to vacuum cleaners? It really seems to be is a bit difficult to find information about how often have actually used asbestos in...

Yes, I have the exact same Globaltek model as in the link KirbyCollector provided. Plus mine has the external hepa filter.

You're right, there is not much bad to say about Miele vacuum cleaners when it comes to durability and suction power. They just look too plastic and plain. I have one from 2008 or 2009 and buying that was actually the reason back then for me to throw away two beaten up Swedish Electroluxes from...

I did some research and used Google Translator with a Russian vacuum cleaner site... So, in the Soviet Union the mass production of vacuum cleaners began in 1952. The first model received a symbolic name - "Pioneer". In the same year “Dnepr” appeared. It became an indispensable assistant in many...

Getting rid of original hose damages the value of the vacuum cleaner, I think. These are collectables after all. But it's not worth risking one's health either. A difficult situation. I probably am not going to use these cleaning my house anyway because newer vacuum cleaners have much better...

And even Miele has started to manufacture their cheaper vacuum cleaner models in China. However all the Miele models have been made of plastic for a long time already. Last week I saw a Volta vacuum cleaner that was made in China and was really light and badly made. Back in the day Volta was an...

For some reason the Electroluxes and Luxes sold here in Finland (and Europe) alwas came with braided hoses unlike the American versions. The only exception was the Globaltek branded US Electrolux models suited for Europen voltage and sold here for a while in the 1990s. The European version of...

I'll have to comment about Mike81's post. I also live in Finland and own an Electrolux D750 Royal from 1990. And it's not Lux branded. So I think that the Lux branding was introduced in Finland much later than 1988. There's a famous tv documentary about Hedengren salesmen called...

Thanks for the reply! Here's what I knew already... The classic Swedish Electroluxes sold door to door have a long succesful history here in Finland. A Finnish company called Hedengren direct started organizing the Finnish marketing back in the 1960s. My grandmother bought her first Electrulux...
