    Tan Model G sales receipt - something interesting

    Tan model G sales Jimmy, When I started with Electrolux as a summer college job,they were JUST coming out with the model 1205. You are correct, in that the first few weeks,they were selling the last of the new TAN G's. They were discounted and I have the paper work at what the sale price was...

    Forbes Article - "How Shark ate Dyson's lunch in America's vacuum market"

    Forbes Article I have the heard same problem when you need parts for a big box store Electrolux (not Aerus) or new Hoover bought in the last few years. They don't stock the parts and who is going to wait or be without their vacuum for weeks waiting for a new circuit board or plastic pedal? The...

    New Rainbow attachment-Supermop

    New Rainbow Attachment-Supermop Thanks Bud, I was thinking it looked pretty big to me in the pictures. The Rainbow Web Site says it comes with 2 pads, but you would maybe need a few more for changes. I can see what you say- if you have large open areas to clean it would be fine but I prefer...

    New Rainbow attachment-Supermop

    Has anyone used this new attachment? It looks like it is all self contained. I have the Rainjet and have used it all the time for cleaning garage floor, patio floors, kitchen and bath floors with the flip over brush/squeegee and then the sponge/squeegee flip over tool for the laminate floors...

    Genuine Hoover Bags - Still Worth the Investment?

    Genuine Hoover bags? Still worth the money? I bought them for my Hoover Dail-A-Matic and Hoover Canister and I thought something was wrong with the vacuum. The worst bags I have ever used. They leaked into the bag compartment of both machines on the FIRST use and they clog almost immediately...

    New Lux Demonstrated *Help me out Europeans*

    new Lux I can add this much. I have owned a very similar Electrolux 2100 for over 10 years. It has seen a LOT if hard use. No complaints from me on the service but to me it is very loud and the power nozzle is loud too. I think it may be because older Americans grew up with the XXX, E's and...

    Electrolux Guardian Ultra & Platinum - Multiple Qs

    Electrolux Guardian Platinum Great video and thanks for posting . Those are not the same machines I have compared. I have a Lux 2100 and Epic 9000 and when we saw the new Aerus Platinum, they sounded all about the same to me . Same high pitched tone. It was much louder than the Platinum...

    Electrolux z25 in action mini video

    Electrolux z25 in Action Thank you. That was great! Can you imagine how exciting it would have been to see the new Electrolux for the first time when all other vacuums were heavy and belching dust from the old cloth bags.

    Electrolux Guardian Ultra & Platinum - Multiple Qs

    Electrolux Guardian Ultra Fred, Thanks for the information. Several of my friends on the forum had the first power nozzle with the stainless top (which I thought was handsome). The one I saw was all black. The new Aerus bags should eliminate the bag leaking problem on the new machines too.

    Electrolux Guardian Ultra & Platinum - Multiple Qs

    Electrolux Guardian Platinum I have to add that when I saw the new machine, although the machine was very powerful and quiet, the power nozzle was just as loud as my Electrolux that is 13 years old. From Aerus's claim, I was expecting a much lower tone. I could not tell any difference and it...

    This AirWay Sanitizor 66 runs beautifully!!!

    This Air-Way Sanitizor runs beautifully! Nice example. Your motor sounds just like my parents old 66. It runs very well too after all these years. They both have that familiar GE motor wind down when turned off. Notice the slight difference in the off/on switch. Mine was purchased in 1951.

    Simplicity Freedom Premium model S10P

    Simplicity Freedom John, Thanks for posting. It looks like a very nice machine. How is the noise level? I like the color and the brush roller. I have never owned a Simplicity or Ricarr but have looked at them in the vacuums stores. They seem to have very high quality when compared to what...
