    Electrolux Guardian Ultra & Platinum - Multiple Qs

    Guardian Platinum Tools Jay, I added the Tristar dusting brush (black version of original Guardian/Renne) and the Tristar furniture tool to my Lux Platinum. The crevice tool you have will work with the Tristar tool caddy. Just order the caddy and the other two from Tristar/Lux Bristol...

    Lux Talk Around the Water Cooler

    Lux Bags Hi Guys, I will order a pack of the new cloth bags and a pre-filter and give this a shot. It is interesting with both of my Platinum vacuums that dust leakage in my Home Solutions bags was limited to a spot right in front of the intake opening about the size of a tennis ball. The...

    Riccar 'Immaculate' or Miele s8 'Uniq'

    Riccar Immaculate Hey Dan, What a nice looking Riccar Immaculate. I must admit the color looks better in your home than my dealer friend's showroom. I think you made an excellent choice and will clean your home very well for a very long time. Brian

    My Extensive Collection Part 6

    Tristar CS Hey Dan, Are they using another different motor in the CS? Last I knew they were using Hong Kong-based Johnson Electric (p/n motor supplier) motors from the Legacy and Guardian Ultra in this unit. Specs were 86" water and 432 on airwatts which was better than the Elux AB-Domel...

    Riccar 'Immaculate' or Miele s8 'Uniq'

    S8 Uniq vs Riccar Immaculate Hi, I went through this whole scenario about a month or so ago. Choices were S8 Marin & Uniq, Sebo D4, Lux Platinum and Riccar Impeccable/Immaculate, all of which I pay dealer price for. Miele makes a good vacuum that cleans well, is durable, expensive to own...

    Lux Talk Around the Water Cooler

    Hi All, I was at the fair this morning chewing the fat with some of the lux guys I used to work with. The going rate on the Lux Platinum is $2499.99 and the Fresh Era lightweight upright is running between $800-$900 (just outrageous) though discounted at the fair a bit. It is interesting to...

    Riccar Immaculate Canister (UNBOXING)

    Riccar Immaculate Hi George, Congrats on the new machine. You made a very wise choice. I had an S36 which is the same unit as the Moxie several years back when they were bright silver. They have since added the steel brush roller, quieted the P/N, fixed the electronics in the hose and...

    6000 sq ft home and the need for clean

    Dog Hair and the Sofa Dori, If you have excessive dog hair on the sofa, the path of least resistance to a clean sofa is to attack it with the Sebo ET-1. Using the turbo tool is like taking a knife to a gun fight, especially if the sofa looks like a polar bear. For some reason the above...

    Brand New TACONY Canister - the Wonder!

    Simplicity Wonder/Riccar Prima Manufacturi ng Tom, Last time you and I talked we were discussing some different components for the new canisters like urethane hoses and a Sebo ET-1 style nozzle. Were these scrapped on the Wonder/Prima later in the R&D process or is there a replacement...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 3

    Lux Platinum Smell Hey Guys, I had not used the Lux for several months so I was surprised about the smell. I had Miele machines I took home as trade ins that acted similarly as well. Since I picked it up a couple months ago on Craigslist, I have primarily used the Rainbow E2 Onyx with the...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 3

    Lux Platinum and Tools Hi Everyone, I too am not so crazy about storing the floor brush on the machine. The best combination was the extra set of wands for the combo rug and floor tool so all you have to do is pop the hose grip off and attach to the other. The quality of the floor, combo...

    Some Thoughts on Rainbow E2 Black

    Hey Guys, I have had a guy bugging me to procure his very slightly used Rainbow E2 Black machine for a few days. Went over last night and it turns out it was new in May and has the side-drive nozzle and pooer also. Used about three times by a nice young couple in a double-wide. Made me an...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 2

    Aerus Platinum Electromatik, My conversation a few months back in regards to the Guardian Platinum was with Kevin Hickey who is now the President of Aerus and started with Lux back in Old Greenwich if memory serves me. This is not the first time they have looked at or partnered with Lux...

    My New Aerus Guardian Ultra

    2.1 amp motor Erik, The motor you are looking for has a green field. Go down to your local lux branch and find a used one. The power nozzle you are looking for will have a black circuit breaker. I am sure there are some new motors around if you get the part number. Brian
