    I want to know what was the first Electrolux model 2100 color?

    In 16 years of doing this, I have never seen one of these sandstone and jade models. I would also love to see a picture of it. The Diamond J started in 1987, not 1984. In 1984, the Sliverado was still in full force until they changed it in 1985 to the Silverado Deluxe which had a PN5 rather...

    Good morning all, I am about to place an order for refurbished Hoovers from the factory. I like to order fairly large quantities, and since its Christmas, consider this my gift to you. Let me know if any of you want any of the following. The refurbs are essentially new...there's not much of...

    I want to know what was the first Electrolux model 2100 color?

    Nope definitely not the Ultralux. Its going to be the tail end of the Silverado Deluxe or the beginnings of the Diamond J. I'm thinking the LE came out slightly before the 2100 series.

    Electrolux Areus Guardian question

    Hey Philip, there are two circuit boards in the Guardian. I would have a qualified vacuum repairman look at it- my guess is there's something wrong with one or both of the boards. Either way, I doubt it would be harmful to ride the wave and use the vacuum as normal till the board completely...

    How many of us sell vacuums?

    Depending on your dealership size, you get them free from the manufacturer. They do not ever give them out to individuals, you must be a dealer. They are called POS (point of sale) items designed to influence buyers.

    Candles... We sell candles, tons of scents, humidifiers, heaters, and air purifiers. The store's 40 year old name is Vacuums Etc. So anytime someone says, "Oh I didn't know yall sold...." We always say that's what the "etc." means. Our other product lines work really well with our current...

    How many of us sell vacuums?

    Everything on the floor with the exception of the Kirby and Rainbow are new. The Kirby and Rainbow are there to remind customers that we do work on them and carry products for them. I actually put the hardwoods in myself. We sell about 60% canisters out of this store and it is so much easier...

    Rainbow Powerhead Bearings..??

    Just a quick word of advice from a vac store owner. Trying to replace the bearing on a PN motor is a pain. 7 times out of 10, you will end up ruining the motor. Normally, when the bearing goes bad on a PN motor for a Rainbow, it is the best use of resources to just replace the motor.

    What's in the vac Shops

    Lloyd, I feel your pain there. FQ screwed up big time on the first generation DC parts. It is usually a $449.99 repair when the neck goes bad, shorts out the wand, and subsequently shorts out the hose.

    What's in the vac Shops

    Again, we have a full display room of many different brands. We carry all major brands except Miele. There is no loyalty, except what sells. I was simply updating you on some information concerning the American Made canisters. When I used to bo-jack used machines like you are doing, I was...

    What's in the vac Shops

    They are very durable machines. You obviously have had absolute zero experience with the American Made canister from Simplicity and Riccar. I certainly hope you get to go by a real vacuum store who carries new brands like Riccar or Simplicity so you can check out the latest from Riccar. There...
