Nice XXX’s Those are nice XXX’s. Tt here are plenty of Genuine attachments out there for these on eBay. You should have no problem completing the vacuums into fully equipped sets and you got the cord reel going and you can get cords for these for the one without a cord reel. In the meantime you...

We must also remember Back in that era…there were not any “discount department stores” like Walmart, Target, etc. and if there were, they were just starting out and few and far between. The sales model was strongly door to door for these items at their inception and was still this way at the...

Opening a model G To open you have to warm the bumper ends at the back end with a hairdryer and then slide them towards the exhaust port and pull out. There is a keyhole style opening that they hook into. You do t want to pry them out or you will rip off the retaining tabs…a previous owner of...

Electrolux resources You may wish to join the Facebook group “Electrolux vacuum group USA”. It is dedicated to Electrolux vacuums and there are a lot of people there who have a lot of great information on these machines. Collectors and enthusiasts alike. Jon

Vacuum shops 2 Additionally, I’ve found that people are getting irritated with the poor quality of the throw away vacuums and so demand for older quality durable machines still exists. Door to door sales of these quality machines new is almost nonexistent anymore so where to get one? A vac shop...

Vacuum shops Well vacuum shops and even Aerus Electrolux franchises are disappearing no doubt but they are still out there. Oreck still uses the vacuum shop model and is now called David’s vacuums I believe. There’s still a lot of people who have older vintage vacuums or higher end newer ones...

Well my partner who is kind of a bull in a China shop used our Shark rocket UV330 which is a Costco only model which has the collapsible folding wand and broke the joint on the wand. Haven’t called Shark yet to see if they have it but not happy about this issue as I otherwise like the vacuum for...

Some more info Sometimes if the bag door latch on the vacuum is bent the door won’t latch properly..mildly tweaking it up or down may help. Hoses: Aerus no longer makes the pigtail hoses for these and when they did the handle swiveled and the air control was the round twist knob and no power...

I’ve found… I like the rocket stick vacs. First off I hadn’t tried one u til one of my good friends bought hers. I was skeptical but pleasantly surprised. After trying many other vac brands I really liked it. Now I’m a die had Aerus Electrolux fan particularly of the older Electrolux’s and they...

Sears is gone So not sure even why the Kenmore brand still exists. It was a Sears exclusive thing forever. Obviously someone somewhere decided that the Kenmore name following (which are just rebranded other manufacturers appliances) would be a good thing to keep and sell to other merchants but...

People are lazy idiots Is the reality. Deep down they know it’s likely clogged and if not just figure “something’s gone wrong with it” but would rather throw it away and get a fresh squeaky clean new one than try to figure out if it could be something simple because they can afford to. People...

Here’s the answer Last summer I was at my Mom’s local Aerus branch in NJ and he told me they don’t have records before 2003 anymore. Once the new computer system was implemented they did away with the any old records and also you must realize that businesses didn’t really use computers before...

Not much They’ve discontinued some models and have sold off the upright which is now made for them. The lite uprights are also made for them. The Lux classic and Lux legacy are all now being produced in China as the Bristol VA plant now is exclusively making air cleaners. Aerusvacuums.com...

I tend to agree I had a Hoover convertible once and the outer bag was perforated vinyl. I would just choose something that will hold up well over time to any creasing and wear or repeated rubbing it would get because you do t want your efforts of hand making a bag to not last. I do like the...

Yes unfortunately It is hard to tell unless Shark puts a date code of manufacture in the serial number which could be possible. You could call or chat with shel customer service to see if they can tell you. Shark sells so many models and versions of the same model continuously. You can buy a...

Renaissance is ok First off always unplug the Renaissance when not in use this will save the electronics. My friend had one and the electronics went out and the replacement hose was $300 but she didn’t buy it. Yeah you need the R bags. If the hose electronics go out apparently you cannot use...

No but….You could use…. A sheath cord. It is the cord inside the plastic sheath of the power nozzle wand that came with the silverado and are replaceable and can be purchased from Aerus as they still use this sheath and wand design. But you would have to trim the prong end of the rubber to be...

Wash wash wash The bagless vacuums need not just the bins dumped and washed but the filters and the entire air path washed. On the Dyson for example all those cones are where the finest dusty air goes through to be trapped by the final filters and it is inside there that a buildup of very fine...

I recommend… Getting yourself the OEM vinyl hose over generic. The handle is how to tell. The OEM handles have the round knob to open and close for suction vent the generics are different. Used OEM vinyl ones pop up on ebay periodically. On the power nozzle, check the throat. It’s a flexible...

There is a rebuilder A nice guy on the Facebook Electrolux vacuum USA group Charlie Calcasola rebuilds the motors for around $35 (don’t quote me) and you pay shipping to and from him. I have a Silverado and the motor has issues and am considering having him rebuild it because the motor has...
