Well it’s gone Seeing that the expense of $100 of parts to fix the vac would be ridiculous and I’m always finding others that need much less in parts or can get some without having to spend for parts…I decided to “cut the cord” off and keep the hose and attachments and let the rest go to the...

Such an interesting device Always wondered how those sensors work and thought they were kinda cool! Jon

Thanks I’ll chuck it at this point. Not a fan of taping gluing welding other repairs…I know those won’t last. I never really liked how cumbersome it is to convert to attachment mode anyway having to slide the hose off and flip the wand over and reattach it. Kinda dumb and Mr. Dyson could have...

Makes a horrible grinding sound when switches to carpet and it tries to drive the brush. Does this mean the clutch has gone bad or is there just something stuck? The dust bin handle and release also is broken and held in with a bungee cord and has a hole in one of the cyclones I can patch with...

I recommend The Aerus Lux classic. Very simple and easy to use and very reliable. The Lux Legacy and Platinum models might be too much for them honestly and are more expensive. The Lux classic is very simple and easy with no circuit boards. It comes with a power nozzle for carpet but also a...

Dysonman1 I closely looked at the “lady” and do not see anything unusual unless it could possibly be her height. She looks like she is quite tall though. Am I getting any warmer. Jon

I was told It was was gone. Jon

Great I’ll repost some of this info on the Electrolux groups and perhaps get on to a Kirby group too to post this for you. Hopefully you’ll get some more calls. Yes, I would DEFINITELY want the XXX Caddy a switch, and a cordwinder. Any of those swivel locks of course and also if there are any...

I just use… My hair dryer to quickly defrost the ice or place a small space heater in the freezer with the door slightly ajar and towels on the floor in front of it. If you use the heater the reason you have to leave the door ajar is because it will get very hot in the freezer super quickly and...

Another option Contact Bryan at rvavacuums.com it’s the Richmond Virginia Aerus branch and Bryan restores the older Electrolux’s and I’m sure he will have a perfect solution for you. Phone number on the web site. Jon

That was… A picture of an early Hoover Dial a matic and it’s option to put the attachments on it. It expired. Jon

Jimmy In case you didn’t realize…Aerus is no longer making parts for most of the metal machines so the parts will really be needed as people restore these machines. Sounds like you don’t have space for them. Have you tried contacting Bryan at Richmond Virginia Aerus. Rvavacuums.com. He may be...

I can help you deal with these and some interest I can repost this on the two Facebook Electrolux vacuum groups if you’d like letting people know they need to call you but don’t want to do so without asking you if that’s ok first so is that ok? Also, are you willing to ship if the person...

Love the innovation My next door neighbors growing up had that exact innovation. I like how the panel lights up above the light when it is on. Early new plastic era squared design vacuums. Jon

I think it would be safe to say that this model Hoover was imitated for the plasti vac upright generation we see today. https://www.vacuumland.org/PICT_OF_THE_DAY/PICTURES/TODAYSPICT26.jpg Jon https://www.vacuumland.org/PICT_OF_THE_DAY/PICTURES/TODAYSPICT26.jpg

Jack… My 85 Maytag is an A490. It was given to me by a friend who bought it new in 85 and I received it in 97 when they moved away to Florida and left it with the house but the buyers didn’t want the set. I was watching the house for them as they had already moved out for a job out of state...

Bissell Saw a bagless green “Commercial” Bissell at Costco business. This thing is just their power force upright bagless version with a long heavy duty cord and different colored body. What a mess…marketing a cheap household vac with a longer cord as a commercial machine? These will be in the...

Well While I know you said you don’t like a bristle attachment…I’ve found using one dies the best job and glides smoothly and also protects the floors. Many are lasting bristles…I don’t recommend those…I prefer the horse hair bristles and double bristle strips are best. I’ve always like the...

Yes I have one of the last pittman trans Maytags from 1985 still going strong and my Mother has her Mother’s 1979 Maytag at her second home…though I think it needs new springs which are no longer available as it tends to go out of balance too easily but I might be able to tighten them as an...

I would Pair the Golden Jubilee/super J and model L with the 70s Maytag. The Diamond Jubilee with that 85 Maytag and so on matching years made as closely as possible. I know so many relatives and people that had the center dial Maytags and model L’s, 1205s or Golden Jubilees together. Sad...
