@danemodsandy I haven't used the very latest power nozzle from the Guardian Ultra, although I don’t know what has changed about it other than the LED headlight, but I have used those that came right before it. The Lux PN has improved since the DJ PN5 but I don’t know if its so much that the...

@venson, I think you may have misunderstood my post about the Electrolux L-shaped power nozzle. I wasn't implying that they are the only machine with that style nozzle, its just been a very recognizable feature of Electrolux/Aerus machines since it was introduced about 30 years ago on the...

I've owned many different machines over the years, I haven't been alive as long as some other members of this club or had as many vacs, but never the less I have owned many high-end machines. Miele's are fabulous machines, Kirby is my #1 choice for an upright, I'll never live without one and my...

Mark, I think you may have me confused with someone elses posts. From the moment I started using the Perfect bags I have had nothing but great things to say about them. There was a previous thread on the forum not too long ago where I put in my 2 cents and again I had nothing but great things...

The Perfect Canister bags are wonderful! I highly recommend them and I think they are worth every penny you pay for them. Years ago before Electrolux was "Aerus", Electrolux made IOTA bags. They were white in color and were high filtration paper bags, sort of like Kirby's paper Micron Magic...

I think that Miele, Sebo, and even the new machines from Aerus/Electrolux are very reliable. My Renaissance is from 1994 and it still runs and looks like new, as does my Epic 6000. For canisters Lux tanks are fairly easy to service and they have a long history of being able to take a beating...

Kirby still makes the Bare Floor Pad as far as I know. Its not really a pad as it has a row of bristles along the bottom. I ordered one directly from Kirby years ago after I bought my Diamond Edition and I think I paid around $20. The "floor pad" isnt the greatest but it does ensure that you...

Mark, the last time I purchased a box of Perfect HEPA bags they were around $18 from totalvac.com and each box contains 8 bags. There has never been a pre-motor filter in any Electrolux canister and while their bags do leak dust, they don't leak like a sieve. If you wipe out the inside of the...

uLloyd, from my experience with the Perfect bags they do not reduce the airflow. If anything, they maintain the airflow much longer than the paper bags. I've been using them for close to a year now in my Epic 6000, the Diamond Jubilee that I have at my grandmothers house, and in the Lux...

Dan, congatulations on having both editions of the Guardian Ultra! Have you had a problem with the suction being too stong for the paper bags? I remember a while back someone said that the bags were being damaged by their machine because they could not hold up to the more powerful suction from...

I have only used genuine Electrolux/Aerus paper bags in any Electrolux machine I have ever owned and I still use them in my Renaissance. The cost of the genuine bags is fairly reasonable, probably around a $1.50 per bag when you buy a box of 24 bags. However, in my Electrolux machines that use...

Your SEB236 power nozzle is made for Miele by Wessel Werks and you can buy almost the exact same nozzle for a central vacuum system. There are two different W-W nozzles to choose from the older EBK340, and the newest nozzle the EBK360, which is almost the same as the Miele SEB228. I've heard...

What a great find and a fabulous deal for only $20! Congratulation! The other tools for this machine should be easy to find online or on ebay, and since they are a standard size, you can mix and match your favorite tools to suite your cleaning needs. I bought a like new Aerus Classic for my bf...

I haven't used a Dyson canister yet but I don't understand why they stopped offering an electric power nozzle in the US. How can they think their turbo nozzles will compete with other canister vacs sold here in the same price range? Can anyone explain why electric power nozzle canisters are...

Sean you have a very nice diverse collection. I know this is off the topic and forgive me for being rude, but your profile picture looks like a koala being given a bath. It does look adorable but its not exactly the normal mainstream house pet in the US and I'm curious to know more about it...

I really like many of the post-1980 Electrolux models. I really love the metal bodied UltraLux/Grand Marquis, I love the colors and the overall looks of this vacuum. Plus its easy to service, the body is metal, and they really do last. As for the plastic bodied machines, I really do love my...

BTW thats a nice machine. I had the same 3500 for a long time complete with the caddy, sidekick, and all the original accessories. I got it for only $50 and it wasnt that old at the time, I still wish I kept it.

sireluxomatic, that machine is supposed to have a rocker switch. From the the way I read your post it sounds like you thought that wasnt the correct style switch. If Im misinterpreting it I appologize, but as far as I can remember nearly every Epic series upright and later had a rocker switch...

Owen if you do test out the power heads in your house, I'd like to hear what your results were. When I initially purchased my VacuFlo the dealer sold me the Hayden SuperPak tools which I did not like, the hose was heavier than I wanted it to be, and the power nozzle did not lower itself enough...

Owen, I should have been a little more specific about what I dont like about the Lindhaus/Stealth. I agree that it is a well made p/n, I think its close in quality to the Wessel-Werks but the W-W seems to be constructed a bit better. Its not the quality of the Lindhaus that I dislike, as...
