Hi, I have a Riccar Impeccable purple canister vacuum used a couple times with original packagaing and all attachments, including the Riccar compact electric petite power nozzle, all attachments (bags) including full size Riccar power nozzle with chrome roller. Pictures avail if interested...

Lux Replacement Hi, I am not sure I like any of the machines avail as well as I liked the last all metal machine Lux made in 1992 and I sold a lot of the plastic canisters on the streets of Boston part-time over the years. I always thought the Silverado Deluxe/PN-5 was the best overall vacuum...

Lux Floor Pro Tom, I have one just like that. Works great with Lux or Kirby Lavender suds. I find the Riccar Impeccable a bit better at crystal removal time than the Lux due to a little better agitation but the Platinum with Omniflo and green bristles works pretty good. Remember the...

Lux Power Nozzle Lux 14, The latest version of the Omniflo uses a modified Johnson motor called the HTM. The difference is in the sprocket design and it takes a different belt. Tristar uses it as well. They sound a little noisy on the Youtube videos but mine is much quieter in real world...

Lux vs Others The right vacuum is the one that works best for you be it Sebo, Miele, Riccar or Lux. All are good it just depends on what features matter most. I have had all four brands and still have two. Sold hundreds of the original Guardian on the streets of Boston during my days in...

Lux platinum, Riccar Impeccable and Miele Mixman, The Guardian Platinum is a fantastic vacuum, perhaps the best canister unit (body) made. As Tom pointed out it has super fit and finish and mind-blowing performance that also reminds me of the XXX. Light, twin HEPA, 28' cord and a super...

Hi Guys, Interesting to see the Aerus Fresh Era has been replaced with a Tacony 9 pound vacuum and it looks pretty nice. It would have been great to see the metal brush roller assy. but the wood roller is good as well. Definitely a step in the right direction adding the best light weight...

Filter Queen Hi, Filter queen is an old Cleveland, Ohio company and the headquarters and assembly are done about a half hour away in Strongsville in the industrial park next to Medical Mutual. Been there several years back and I am not sure if they manufacture anything or just assemble...

Simplicity and Sebo Peaches, Sorry for the late response out on a rescue call with an MVA and LifeFlight tonight. Simplicity and Riccar are the same vacuum and the parent is Tacony. This vacuum was originally made in Korea by Daewoo until production was moved to Missouri some years back. The...

D4 and Moxie Peaches, Pretty easy scenario for me since I own both machines. You have selected two great units. The main difference you will really see between the two is power nozzle width and cord length. The Riccar/Simplicity machine has 28' and the Sebo 40' or 50' I don't remember right...

Windsor Most janitorial supply houses I deal with will be around $450.00ish for the Sensor XP12 machine so it definitely falls below the $500.00 ceiling he has indicated. Strictlybojack definitely a little more aggressive performance on the Tandem Riccar/Simplicity units than the SEBO and...

Selecting the Ideal Vacuum Countrydirt, While there are several units on the market at various price points, one of the prime concerns in your situation is not only cleaning performance but also uptime and ease of use. In the dozen or so years I sold vacuums for Lux in addition to my...

Vortex Dan, An old friend of mine from my days with Lux is a Miele dealer here. He sold one of the red Miele uprights to a commercial biotech lab here that had some carpeted hallways in their offices. End result was about six Vortex motors in 18 months and a real PIA for him. They have...

Vacuum Choice Hi, For the type of carpeting and the German Shorthaired Pointer, the Lux Platinum is a great choice-I know since I too share my home with a Shorthair who, at 3 1/2 years of age still can't remember to wipe her feet before walking on the white carpet. The OmniFlo power nozzle...

Sauber and Aerus Hi Gary and Everyone, The ET-1 Sebo nozzle is a significantly better nozzle than the Lux Omni-Flo both in performance and overall quality. Like comparing Dan's Mercedes with a Chevy Cavalier. With the performance of the Intelligence and the smaller size of the nozzle it will...

Lux and Riccar Hi Christy, Both the Riccar and Lux are good choices. If you go Riccar, get the purple Impeccable and save yourself a couple bucks unless you love that Super J-1976 gold color. The Riccar uprights are really nice. I find them clunky and loud, but stylish, well made and high...

Hey Guys, There is a new Kirby Heritage in the appliance section of Craigslist Maine if anyone is interested. I think he is looking for five bills. Machine is located in Fairfield. Brian

Electrolux and Lux and Aerus Hi, The mess Aerus is in has most certainly been a long time in the making. If we look back at the model 1205 and even earlier models, we see a period when Electrolux was very much a leader in the floor care segment. Examples including self-sealing bags...

Choosing a New Vacuum JD, With that much pine flooring I would forget the above mentioned machines and select a good power nozzle canister instead. If you do ultimately go that route, the Windsor Sensor XP with the electric servo motor for the height is very forgiving on hard surface flooring...

Hi Guys, A couple weeks ago I pulled out the Platinum for a quick touch up (third use) which was subsequently involved in a crash that left me with a dent in the front cover of the machine. Happened to be playing with the German Shorthair when she came around flying around the corner in the...
