Cool. I see yours has the logo on just one side as well. And, that explains why the cord seems like it’s removable. Yours also differs by having a suffix to the model number, and the assembled in Mexico, vs U.S.A. Maybe the model number difference has to do with whether it was sold as a stand...

That made me smile. I’m actually fine with the gold color on the 50th anniversary model, and the Super J. I think the 1205, Olympia, and the gold models are my favorite colors. The Silverado isn’t as flashy. But, since it seems like the replacement vinyl hoses only come in grey, that would work...

Well, the bags arrived today. I'm guessing nobody else has ever tried this brand? So, the next time I need to put a fresh bag in one of the Electroluxes, I'll try one of these. Actually, I might not wait for the bag to be full in the Lux Legacy. The last time I changed the bag in that one, I...

Nice find, Cole! Does yours have the logo on both sides? I feel like I've seen some on eBay that have it on both sides. Mine only has it on the one side, shown in the picture. I think the multi-color logo was one of the things that made me buy it. I too, am trying to limit myself. It's not...

I bet you're right. But, believe it or not, I don't have facebook. I'd probably get myself in a lot more trouble if I did!

Thank you, Owen! I appreciate you explaining some of the differences in the models. And, given the opportunity, and the financial means, I know I would happily adopt one of each model! Well...at least one of each. LOL

Hi John! I see a lot of them, with their boxes and tools even, on the "bay". Not super expensive either. I'd like to have all the extras and box. But, I got this one for $5, and it seems to be in good shape. So...I guess I can't complain. Unrelated note; they also had a Dirt Devil 103 with no...

Yeah. This must have been before they started putting the date in the serial number. I’m guessing it’s maybe mid 1980s.

Well, I needed this like a fish needs a bicycle. But, it was old folks 30% off day, and I really liked the colors. Also, I was surprised to see “Made in U.S.A.” on it. I was expecting perhaps Mexico. It sounds perfect. But, it’s not like someone would have used it to vacuum their whole house...

I know. As Electrolux might be my favorite brand, if I absolutely had to pick one, it gives me a little sick to my stomach feeling when I think about her Silverado getting chucked into the dumpster. She got it new, and this would have only been in the 1990s when she tossed it, IIRC. So, it...

This might be kind of a weird question. But then, I'm kind of weird. I have hopes of adding a metal-bodied Electrolux to my collection. The style that started with the 1205. I believe there were several versions, leading up to the introduction of the plastic body. Is there any particular...

This isn't a vacuum question, per se, but I didn't know where else to post it. And, I guess it would have been a good idea to ask before I made the purchase. I just ordered some Style C HEPA bags for my Electrolux/Aerus vacuums. So far, I've never used anything but the genuine Electrolux or Home...

Wow. The Oreck already looks a lot better! My soft bag Hoover doesn't have the provision for the air freshener tablet. Do you use the HEPA Type A bags in the Hoover?

Hey Jack. That IS a good week in my book! That poor Oreck looks so sad. But, if you enjoy the cleaning up process, it should be a rewarding one. And, I now have two Hoovers with that style hood, and I'm too afraid of breaking the tabs to try taking them apart for cleaning and belt/brushroll/bulb...

I gave it its first run today, in the laundry room. I got the Type R bags that I ordered. They're smaller than I expected, and shaped odd. I was expecting something more like an Electrolux C bag It seems to have halfway decent power/airflow. I see why there was a problem with the hose, near...

Sent you an e-mail.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on what kind of bag would offer better filtration; the disposable paper bags, or the cloth shake-out bag that came with it? Edit: I just took the bag all the way out for the first time, to clean it, and discovered that there are one or two small holes in it. One of...

Congratulations, Anonymous! ;) I love when people find one of their dream machines!

I thought so too. It seems like they made the Tempo canisters in different "trim levels". I think there's a 150, I believe that one doesn't have a cord reel. I don't know about tool storage. This is a 350. Then, I saw a video of a 450, and that one had a motorized power nozzle. I actually wish I...

Kind of a neat little find at my closest thrift store today. Well, I think so. Amongst the new batch of bagless uprights, there sat a little light blue canister vacuum. Closer inspection revealed it to be a Hoover Tempo 350, model S1335. It looks complete, except that two of the tools are black...
