Hi folks. I have a Hoover Convertible Elite from circa 1977 and a top fill bag. I guess Convertibles are too old to get HEPA bags, so does anyone know if another type will fit? Thanks. Michael T.

HEPA Bags Hi Eric. Thanks for your reply. Like you, my Electrolux Automatics never shut off and pop open the bag compartment door. I would enjoy seeing that, but check the bags too often and change them when they get about half full or a little more. I don't like to vacuum with a bag that...

HEPA Bag Opinions Thank you all for your input. One thing I read online was that the material for the HEPA bags was heavier and could cause your vacuum to overheat. Has anyone run into this or heard anything about it? I found a thread online from 2014 or so and it seems that the opinions of...

HEPA Bag Opinion Hi Blackheart. Thank you for your reply and your opinion. Have you used the VAC brand bags? Do you have a favorite brand? I saw a thread that said that Aerus is producing HEPA bags, but the Aerus online store doesn't carry them. Michael T

Hi everyone. May I get some opinions from you regarding HEPA bags? I've read that some folks like and recommend them, but others don't. Are they worth the $$ and do they really do a good job keeping not only the air cleaner, but also the vacuum and the exhaust? Are there any issues to watch...

Thank You Hi Kirbylux77. Thank you for your reply. Wasn't there a period where no wands were included and you were expected to use the power nozzle wand for the floor brush? Skimming ebay (where you can find photos of vacuums sometimes with attachments, but can't guarantee they're the ones...

Hi. I just bought an Electrolux 2100, Model C141A, that came with just the vacuum. According to the chart listed by Paul (thank you!!!) in 2014, it was made in 1996-97. I think metal wands were still being used then, but am not sure. I think the thin non-electric plastic wands came out in...

I Got My Legacy Hello everyone. My Lux Legacy arrived today and I have to say I'm VERY impressed with it. The quality is evident - the machine is well-constructed and I'm pleased and surprised at the quiet of the vacuum and the power nozzle. Amazing and most unexpected. I have a Guardian...

Legacy and Platinum Attachments Thank you, Kloveland. I appreciate your reply. It saves me from wasting money. Michael T.

Hi folks. I'm trying to find a black flip floor tool for my Lux Legacy. Even though Aerus has been making black machines for several years, all I can find are white ones. As I peruse ebay, I'm wondering if the neck of the Guardian Platinum will fit securely on my Legacy. I have a black tool...

Thank you. Hi Panasonicvac. Thanks for the info. I was afraid that would be the case. Michael

Hi folks. I'm contemplating buying a Lux Legacy and am wondering if it has the same motor as the Classic and Guardian Ultra. I know they're not high quality motors and they're noisy with that high pitched whine. Thanks for your attention. Michael

Thank You Thank you, Human. I appreciate your response. Since my posting I've done some research also. It appears that, for some reason, the 5000, which is a pretty basic vacuum, was equipped with a larger electric hose and electric wands, like the more expensive models. In pictures, the...

Thank You For the Info, Everyone. Hi. I appreciate the responses to my query. I'm not lucky enough to have my Aerus dealer replace the motor on my Guardian Ultra for free; I didn't buy it new and I was asked about it. I am getting a deal from the technician, though. He just replaced the...

Hi. I'm trying to find when my Electrolux Lux 5000 was made. I see mention of the 5500, but not the 5000. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you. Michael T.

Hi. I'm outfitting an ebay find - a really nice Lux 5000. It didn't come with a hose or wands or power nozzle. I found a hose and a set of OEM wands, but I don't know what power nozzle model I should be looking for. There are so many variations between models and I don't want to buy...

My 'New' Aerus Lux 2000 I just received my 'new' Lux 2000. I had an UltraLux which I liked, but the electronic panel doesn't light up. I've seen this a lot on Aerus machines. It is an 80th Anniversary model and runs and looks great. I guess I didn't look close enough at the Lux 2000...

Thank You! Thank you Vacuumdevil. I have had poor experiences with bojack motors, etc. No more for me.

Hi everyone. I am looking at an Electrolux Lux 5000. I was told that it's one of the last models using the old style Electrolux motor style before the company began using Swedish-made Domel and Johnson motors. I'm told these motors are inferior and cannot be rebuilt and must be replaced...

Hi folks. I'm wondering if Kirby put the new starburst design belt lifter on the 519s. I know they appeared on the 560s, but I've seen a couple of 519s that haven't been rebuilt and they had the new belt lifter design. Thanks. Michael T
