Vacerator - On the Electrolux AP Series canisters, the electrical connectors on the hose are built into the hose connection on the canister. And there are 2 metal tabs on the hose machine end that receive the power. Same as the Canadian Electrolux E2000 and 2100 are. The only exception to this...

Can I make a suggestion here? If you're looking at these Kirby's because you prefer uprights, I would also suggest buying a decent straight suction canister to go with it. Most vintage uprights from the 50's to the 90's didn't have a hose or tools on board, and only mediocre suction for using...

I personally favor the Centec powerheads. They are well designed, clean well, and a proven design by Panasonic that clean well and very reliable. The Sebo ET350 / ET-C powerheads were also great too, and I prefer these over the ET1 and ET2 design - they need a couple more height adjustment...

NIce addition there, Keither. That one looks very mint! :)

Welcome to the forum, John. I agree with you and my heart is in the same place - those Canadian Lux canisters from 1960 to 1998 were something special for sure! Great performance and quality, and of course by Electrolux - the manufacturer considered legendary in the vacuum world and who invented...

Vacuum Facts - you do realize you just wrote off 99% of the vacuums in today's marketplace right?! Talk about not even being remotely open minded! Also, for someone who's sooo dismissive of anything not Dyson, and who spouts all these scientific facts, test results, testing methods...

Very nice find! Those are becoming a bit on the rare side now. Just so you know, the bags you got at the Aerus dealer are becoming hard to find too, I believe they are NLA in either genuine or generic form.

First of all, welcome to Vacuumland! As for the age of your GE Polisher, I would guess early to mid 60's. I am basing that on the color, and the fact yours looks to be a BOL or MOL model.

Sounds like it's either the brushroll bearings are shot, or there's something caught in the fan area that's making the noise.

Welcome to the forum! Contact Dysonman1, Tom Gasko, he may be able to help you obtain a Singer or have a good lead on someone who does.

There are a couple things I noticed in Tayyab's video I didn't like. First, the center line of unswept dirt. Also, not liking that the front doesn't pick up well against walls. But for me what REALLY annoyed me was the dust cloud created emptying the cleaner! And the fact he had to push the...

Good luck, but be prepared to be disappointed. I tried one out years ago at The Bay when they were still in business. Well built for sure, but it lacks refinement. For instance, the cord halo wasn't quite big enough and just BARELY had enough room for the entire cord. The metal hose tube that...

Jack, that sounds like a awesome way to spend a weekend afternoon! :) . At least now it's not so hot out so you won't get burned and sweaty. Hope you catch a couple nice big fish for dinner.

The Oreck Radio Vac sure was a interesting idea to keep one entertained while vacuuming. But let's face it - I think the REAL reason they introduced it was because of how noisy Oreck vacuums are! I am willing to bet they got lots of complaints over it, and the Radio Vac was their solution to the...

Cameron, I have to wonder if you could use a Kirby Generation Series, Hoover Convertible or Eureka/Sanitaire F&G style fan in place of the original Oreck fan? It would certainly be about the same diameter.

Alan, that's a very nice photo! When I used to live in Orillia, that town had lots of recreational trails, and one long one that ran between the 2 big parks in the town. That was my favorite things about that town, and one thing I do miss now living in London. I am fixing up my daily driver...

Alex - hold on just a minute there! Panasonic telling you they weren't going to discontinue making vacuums was NOT a lie! They just chose to stop making them for the North American market. Stop being so harsh on them!

Kantonelli, look, don't get me wrong, I do wish you the best of luck finding a original Electrolux Model XXX hose that is fully sealed and in good condition. But you DO realize you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning right? If you do find a XXX hose, be prepared to give it the...

Hi Derek, welcome and best of luck getting your Electrolux all fixed up :)

NIck, I would suggest buying a used filter cover. It won't seal properly to the filter if the cover isn't holding it down properly. But, I would suggest strongly that you use your filter cover, if you buy one, to use to make a 3D model and have one 3D printed. That way you have one that's of new...
