    A YouTube channel named Vacuum Facts doesn’t know how bagged vacuums works.

    While I generally find him to be arrogant, condescending and abrasive he did point out a flaw in how I was calculating airflow at the end of the hose, namely that the speed of air moving through the center of the hose will be higher than it is at the walls. Since airflow is airspeed in ft per...

    NZ Electrolux machines

    An example of that very first Electrolux vacuum came up for sale late last year in Denmark on an internet auction site but it was local pick up only. No shipping. I don't think I would have remained married if I flew to Denmark to buy a vacuum so I had to let is slide.

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Here is a new German Lux International website that shows the S115 Intelligence. It hasn't gone away at all. https://allclean.de/produkt-kategorie/saugen-staubsauger-wischsauger/ Also dig they sell a version of the Riccar Supralite they call the Easymove and a Lux branded Sebo Felix ( ! )...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Now that is interesting.. Marietta Georgia. Was that the Electrolux company headquarters before Engles Urso Capital Corp bought them or was there a manufacturing facility there too?

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Engles Urso Capital Corp, the parent company of Aerus LLC, is headquartered in Dallas Texas. The production facility was in Bristol VA. Engles Urso Capital Corp bought Interstate Engineering in 1996, two years before they bought Electrolux Inc, in a bankruptcy sale. At some point Engles Urso...

    Darn. Long drive from the west coast to Minneapolis. If I lived closer I'd swoop.

    NZ Electrolux machines

    European Excellios and I believe some Volta Geminis could be ordered with a Wessel Werk EBK280. Also the Volta Mega. But they had one loooong cord from the power nozzle all the way up the wand and down the hose to the canister body. A clever soul can put an Electrolux K35 hose from a D720...

    Customer service experiences?

    I recently ordered some parts directly from Hoover for my Hushtone upright. Their website is apparently being redone and it didn't show any parts or supplies for it. The lady on the phone was super nice, told me the parts I wanted were indeed in stock ( even ones that some on line sellers were...

    I have a close cousin the Ultra Silencer. Really nice piece of equipment though complicated to disassemble for cleaning. In the US they came with a power nozzle but alas there are no longer any parts available for them. No brush rolls, no belts and genuine Electrolux filters are becoming hard...

    Check this out. Not cheap, but a way to store and display a collection in a limited space. https://metro.com/design-tools/shelf-builder/?roomle=metro:toptrack:D0029FD1355932193E75D4B33CD41DFE8AFC7903678602F78D6832558117CF90&configuratorId=metro

    There is also this little gem, an adapter that lets you run your D820 with the electric hose from a Lux Intelligence Premium or the Powerprof electric hose. They you use the nice all metal Intelligence telescopic wand and a choice of Lux PB1 or Sebo ET2 power nozzles...

    Buy the K-35 hose. It has the wires inside the hose. There is a short pig tail from the hose to the canister and a plug with an on off switch on the hose handle for the cord that runs down the back of the wand to the power nozzle...

    He gave the Panasonic more passes than he gave the Hoover.

    Electrolux EPIC 6000 doesn't run , the ? light flashes !

    Also make sure the hose from the bag door to the valve and the little spout and orifice it connects to in the door isn't clogged. I find those get dirty pretty fast.

    A black 12 amp Hoover Sprint?

    My sweet kitty was snoozing peacefully on my desk next to my laptop. Then I played the video and the instant that old Hoover was fired up, so was he. Up on all fours with that "what the H is that dad?" look.

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    I would not yet want to hang my hat on the Bristol plant closing. I'd like to know a little more. 2003 was about the time Electrolux LLC became Aerus LLC which may have added a level of confusion. The journalist doesn't seem to understand Aerus LLC and Electrolux AB are two completely...
