@kirbyeureka95:<span style="color: #000000;">  I know that you stated you already own an Electrolux Epic upright, and there for I assume you are familiar with how easy it is to change the bag in that machine.  Like everyone else here, I have owned numberous vacuums over the years but for a "non...

I have never used a Rainbow, but they look like a wonderful machine and I too would love to purchase one. However, they do appear to be a machine that does require a little bit of extra care in order to keep them running their best for many years. While I have no doubt that a Rainbow can...

I just saw this brush on the MD website about a week ago and have been meaning to ask the same question! I had wanted to purchase the Miele version that has a standard size fitting from thinkvacuum.com but I have held out in hopes that another website might carry them. I couldnt be further...

Chase, I worked for a small appliance store/repair shop that was also an authorized NuTone Dealer and warranty repair center. When I started working there the VX-series had only been out for a short time and the initial units were absolutely awful. I cant even tell you how many machines we...

Sorry for such large pictures, I didnt realize how big they were before I uploaded them. The Eureka PN that is pictured above is from my mom's Eureka Express canister that I grew up with. If I remember correctly it was purchased a few months before my little sister was born which makes it...

I have direct-connect SuperValve inlets and have both an electric(30ft) and non-electric(35ft) VacuFlo hoses. I love being able to mix and match any universal size tools to the machine, its provides so much versatility as you can really pick the tools that work the best for your own needs.

VacuFlo 566Q Here is my unit, a VacuFlo 566Q that I purchased and installed in August 2006. Its the best money I have ever spent on a vacuum and I will never live in any house without a central vac. It makes cleaning so much easier and efficient since it can be used to clean/dust every hard...

@lovecanisters I have an Epic 6000 like the one in your picture but mine has a beige PN, not a blue one. It really is a great canister and very light weight. I had an Epic 6500 for many years and I really like the Epic 6000 much better. As for the newer Lux machines, Ill take my Renaissance...

As nice of a feature a cord winder is to have, I have found that so many of them are too short. The only canister that I own that actually has a long cord making it a breeze to use is my Electrolux Renaissance. Very few other canister vacuums on the market have a 28ft cord, all ever other Lux...

This looks like a really great machine with some huge improvements and it has really sparked my intrest in Rainbow. It sounds like its a wonderful vac and not having any exhaust oder is fabulous, although thats why I have a central vac and like most here the last thing i need is another vacuum...

@GM1982 I must have read over your post about having a cleaning service use your machine. We have had several different housekeepers over the past 15+ years and they have all preferred to use an Electrolux. I think because they are pretty much "idiot proof". The power nozzle shuts off if it...

I haven't used the newest Guardian upright, but the last Electrolux upright I owned was a brand new Aerus Lux 3000. This machine had the new and much improved brush roll, which can be used in any Lux upright machine, and it also had a more powerful motor. Ive had the Discovery II, an Epic...

I couldn't agree more with troopersam, if you can't pay for it in cash then you should wait until you can.  As much as I love vacuums, I think it would be a bad idea to go into debt for one.  Especially since you have several already, and many other good machines can be purchased for a fraction...

Bob, you may be right about the suction valve. My unit was used well before I got it and I had been used to the traditional Lux suction releif knob on the back of the hose handle prior to owning the Epic. While I like the mono-tone gray unit, I like the look of blue/beige or white/gray models...

I used to work for a small appliance dealer/service center which used to be the only authorized Dyson service center in the area. While I was still working there the DC17 was the latest model, and by far the best cleaning model at the time. I havent used a Dyson that is never than the DC17...

That is a very nice Epic 6500, and its in very good condition considering its probably about 15 years old. I had that same exact machine for several years, its was the daily driver, the vacuum the housekeeper used, and the one that anyone else in the family used to vacuum. Although I did have...

My big fat cat Nicholas, the king of the house, is suprisingly not scared of the Kirby Diamond and Ultimate G. However he is scared of the hose to the central vac and he does not like the Electrolux Renaissance. He gets very jumpy when the Renaissance comes out to clean, which is suprising as...

I had two Oreck uprights that I bought new about 6 or 7 years ago, one for my house, and one for my grandmothers. They were rather expensive but they did come with the 10 year warranty with free annual maintenance, plus the Oreck dealer is only about 5 minutes from my house. They were good...

I briefly had the Lux Guardian and I was really disappointed with the suction, it seemed the HEPA filter just choked off its suction. I was in the Aerus store a week or two ago and the Guardian Ultra that was on display did have Aerus written on the bumpers. Charles I took that same brochure...

I have the after market hose that looks just like the hose that is used on the Perfect Power Team canister. This hose looks just like a genuine Electrolux hose with two minor differences, it has an on/off switch for the power nozzle, and it has the suction releif control on the front of the...
