Lux International was a wholly owned subsidiary of Electrolux AB until around 1996. At that time the Electrolux Group apparently decided to get out of the direct sales business. They sold the rights to the Lux International name in the Asia Pacific Region to Vorwerk who owns it to this day...

It looks fantastic and I love your strain relief.

Many if not most 1990s and 2000s Eureka canister models and most Sanitaire canister models were not much more than 120 volt rebrands of vacuums sold in Europe by Electrolux Group subsidiaries like Volta, Progress, AEG or even Electrolux itself often with an electric hose and a made in Mexico or...

Sanitaire was sold to Bissell in 2019. The local vac shop owner is a friend and he tells me the Sanitaire people were so incensed that they destroyed all of their records and refused to even talk to anyone from Bissell. Bissell staff had to resort to browsing the internet and phone books to...

I don't think you know the story of how the US side of Electrolux came to be a wholly American owned company with no ties to the original Swedish parent. Electrolux AB of Sweden was formed in 1919 by the merger of Lux AB and Electromechanska AB. Electrolux AB set up a wholly owned subsidiary...

There should be a round foam seal on the inside of the lid around the hose opening that seals everything. If the seal is worn you can replace it with the thick foam seal used on modern Kenmore and Titan bag mounts. The bag sits against a steel plate and the lid with the foam seal closes down...

How hard is it to get the motor out and have a vac shop replace the bearings and brushes?

The LCD screen makes me think of a Teletubby.

Bummer it's a 240 volt machine or I'd be on that like a duck on a Junebug !

Finding a lid might take a few years ! I had to stalk eBay for literally over a year to find one for my 1748b. Most are broken in use. In my case a whole tool tray with the lid turned up. It happens but you have to patiently stalk eBay daily and be ready to buy the instant one goes on sale...

I'm one of the few Americans to have and use Swedish made Luxes in my home. I have a D730, D745, two D795s ( one still has the original Swedish two stage motor and first gen circuit board and a second where that motor and the main board were fried and I had to replace them with an upgraded...

They are on eBay. Poke around using different terms in the search window. I see those attachments all the time. Btw, great vacuum. They clean well and run forever. I run one of those pleated dome shaped pre-motor filters for Pro-Team back pack vacuums on mine. I also trim the mounting...

The Japanese were making bagless vacuums with a mesh screen in front of a pleated filter before Lord Diesoon was even out of secondary school : /

Btw, you must now pay the "Cat Tax" and show us a photo or two of your kitty or kitties. I mean, you have to do it !

In Japan non-cyclonic bagless vacuums with a thick pleated filter at the back of the removable dust chamber ( most often with a fine mesh screen in front of the pleated filter to catch the bigger chunks ) are pretty popular. There is usually some sort of scraper thingie built in to knock stuff...

Do you have an image? My immediate thoughts are to use a belt for one of those Dirt Devil hand vacs or maybe one for a Kenmore Pet Powermate. Is the original belt round or flat?

The Italian Lindhaus website shows they offer their PB12 and PB14 power nozzles and wands in the EU for the HF6 and for central vacuum use. That seems like the easiest course of action. No need for hose adapters or transformers. Plug and play.

Are those battery powered nozzles sold in Europe with a 220-240 v / 50 Hz compatible charger ? The one you depict is for the US and has a Type A plug not used anywhere in Europe except US and Canadian military bases. Also that hose handle has a 34-35 mm spout. It's larger than you get with US...

The handle on your hose is the same one used with the electric hose and telescopic electric wand sold as accessories by Lindhaus for the HF6, meaning you could use the excellent Lindhaus power nozzle with it. That same hose handle was also used with the Ghibli Vortech XR3000. Those came...
