    What Motors Were Used In Electrolux Models and Aerus Models

    Thank You Hi FanOfVacuums2. Thank you for the information. I'm not any good at repairing vacuums myself, but have an awesome vac guy who is. I'll take the LE to him for a service. I am surprised to get your impression of the motor in the Ultralux since it's so quiet and powerful. I had...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Dri Lux Nozzle Hi Maytag142c. How much are you asking for the Dri Lux nozzle with the Capture cleaner? I hadn't heard of this until I read the replies to my question on this forum, and I'm interested in it. My email is [email protected]. Thanks. Michael T.

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Power Nozzle Stays On Hi Kirbylux77. Thank you for the advice. I agree with you and I'm not going to mess with the vacuum electrical wiring. I don't really mind turning the nozzle off at the base and I may run into a Dri Lux nozzle again at some point. I did see one on ebay a while back...

    What Motors Were Used In Electrolux Models and Aerus Models

    Hello folks. I have an Electrolux LE that I like very much. It's noisy, but a great cleaner. I also have an Aerus Ultralux that I also like very much, especially the quiet motor. I really don't hear the motor running; I mostly hear a rush of air from the attachment and the exhaust vent on...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Power Nozzle Stays On Hi Kloveland. My Ultralux is identical to the one you pictured. It's labeled 80th Anniversary and has the electronic panel with the indicator lights (these don't work, however; I suspect the electronic part died. It happened on my Guardian Ultra, too). I've seen a...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Power Nozzle Stays On Hello everyone. Thank you all for the posts and information. I appreciate your input and always learn something when I ask a question. I'm not good with tools and repairs, unfortunately. I rely on a really great vac guy here in Phoenix to repair and keep my vintage...

    Power Nozzle Stays On

    Hello folks. I just received an Aerus 80th Anniversary Ultralux vacuum. The power nozzle remains on when the vacuum is turned off, and must be manually turned off at the base. I've never run into that before. My other Electrolux and Aerus power nozzles operate with the vacuum. Has anyone...

    Aerus Vacuums with Plastic Wands

    Hello. Does anyone know when Aerus began providing plastic wands for their vacuums in lieu of the traditional metal ones? Thanks. Michael

    Who Made My Electrolux L E?

    Hello. I just got an Electrolux L E with an owner's manual that indicates it was sold in 1987. Was this an Electrolux USA product? I think the Aerus (and the selling of the Electrolux name) came out later. I'm just curious if I got an actual Electrolux machine or the European variant. Thanks.

    GE Swivel Top Canister. When Was It Made?

    GE Swivel Top Canister. When Was It Made? Hi Canisterman. Thank you for your reply. I didn't know they made Lowboy models that early. I thought they were made later. Would this one be a single-fan model? Michael

    GE Swivel Top Canister. When Was It Made?

    Hello. I just purchased a nice GE Swivel Top cleaner from ebay. It's a small one, unlike the C7s but not a Lowboy model. It's beige on top and dark brown on the bottom and has an older style swivel top. The model # is V12C8. Does anyone have an idea when it was made? It has the deluxe...

    My Aerus Guardian Ultra temperature light comes on

    Thank you, huskyvacs. That's a good idea. I didn't think of the filter being a problem. I'll try it.

    My Aerus Guardian Ultra temperature light comes on

    Hi guys. I have an Aerus Guardian Ultra vacuum. I've had it a couple of months with no issues. Recently I was using it and the 'Aerus' light went off and the 'temperature' icon lit up. The machine did not shut off and I had only been using it for a short time. I changed the bag (it was...

    Who makes the Aerus Guardian Platinum?

    Hello. I just found out that Aerus doesn't make their high-end Platinum vacuum. Someone else does and Aerus just provides the hose and attachments, etc. I'm surprised to hear this (and can't imagine why this would be so) and am wondering who makes the Platinum for Aerus. Does anyone know...

    My New Lux Classic

    Lux Guardian Platinum Hi kirbylux77. I re-read your reply and realized I forgot to note that the current top-of-the-line Lux vacuum, the Guardian Platinum, is not even made by Aerus. That explains why the colors on the machine and the colors of the hose and attachments don't match. I can't...

    My New Lux Classic

    My 'new' Lux Classic Hi kirbylux77. Thank you for the warm welcome and the information you provided. I know too little about the name change situation and was most interested in it. I am a major vintage Electrolux fan (since I was a kid) and own and use several. I got interested in Aerus...

    My New Lux Classic

    My 'new' Lux Classic Hi. Thanks for the information. I had no knowledge of this. I do wonder why the Lux machines mirror the Electrolux machines so completely, and this could be the reason. I never understood the name sale either. I do like my Guardian Ultra and Classic, but agree that...

    My New Lux Classic

    Hi folks. I bought an Aerus Lux Classic from ebay a week ago and it arrived a couple of days ago. It's white with the gray/taupe side moldings. It's very clean and has nary a mark on it. It's quiet and has great suction. I'm not crazy about the plastic, but it seems to be solid and well...

    Did an actress really get Hoover to color the Model 33 Convertible lavender?

    Hi. There is a Model 33 Convertible Special on ebay right now. The ad says that the actress Agnes Moorhead (best known from Bewitched) commissioned the color by requesting it from Hoover. I have never heard this and suspect it. Does anyone know anything about this?
