    Epic 6000 parts

    When I posted this originally I thought maybe someone knew where I could find the part online but since the only option seemed to be a Lux dealer, I just assumed that they would not have the right color to match my machine. I guess I should have asked that question here months ago. Honestly I...

    Electrolux Epic 6000SR

    I have that generic hose for my Diamond Jubilee but I don't like it as much as the genuine Lux hose. The one I have is the same length as the genuine hose. I do notice that the electrical connection on the end of the hose does seem longer then the genuine lux hose and I did adjust the cord...

    Electrolux Epic 6000SR

    I believe that when the 6000 first came out it had the blue power nozzle cover, just as the UltraLux Classic had at the same time, and the later models had the beige color power nozzle covers. My 6000, which happens to be one of my favorite Electrolux vacuums, it combines the best of old and new...

    What happened to the "new" Aerus Upright?

    I thought that Aerus was supposed to release a new upright this past April/May, but I've checked their website and no changes have been made? Are they still planning on releasing a new machine? I haven't been reading the forum on a daily basis as I've been to busy lately, but I do remember...

    Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition...

    Best of luck with your Diamond Edition! I've had mine for a while now, I bought it NIB on eBay when it was the outgoing Kirby model. I've loved it ever since, and I even picked up a regular Ultimate G at a garage sale several years ago for quite a steal, and it came with all the attachments...

    My New Aerus Guardian Ultra

    @floor-a-matic- Brush Roll I have no experience using the green brush roll but it was only available for a very short time before being discontinued. I've been using Electrolux vacuums for more than 20 years and in every Electrolux/Aerus machine I currently own I have replaced the brush roll...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    NYCwriter, I know I mentioned in my earlier post that I'm a Long Island native but I do go into the city quite often and my dad worked just off of Park Ave for nearly 25 years. I don't know how this slipped my mind in my earlier post, but my favorite department store in the world...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    GM1982 I'm surprised to hear about air leaking from around the HEPA filter. I know air escapes from the handle area of my 6500 but I don't believe Electrolux had ever claimed it was a totally sealed system and as I'm sure you know the current model still doesn't have a HEPA filter. As for...

    Help! Shopping for New Vacuum and Overwhelmed

    NYCwriter, if you are set on an upright that is convenient to use but are willing to compromise as far as on board tools are concerned, the latest Aerus Guardian Upright maybe a good choice. The latest model is much more powerful then any previous Electrolux upright, and its a tried and true...

    Model G Cordwinder Fix?

    I have no idea how to fix the cord winder. But, I will tell you that years ago while taking apart a 1980's Electrolux HiTech 2100, I was atempting to fix the cord winder and it cut my hand pretty badly. They may not look very sharp, but trust me they are, and they can quickly and unexpectedly...

    MY CENTRAL VAC

    I had a hose sock when I first purchased my VacuFlo with a Hayden power nozzle kit. I got rid of the Hayden kit shortly after I purchased the unit as it did not suit my needs and I honestly couldn't stand the hose sock. I have a cat that sheds, but he does not shed an excessive amount of hair...

    My Electrolux Renaissance went crazy!

    I'm pretty certain that you need a new hose. They aren't cheap but it should fix the problem your are having with you Renaissance. I have an original first edition dark gray Renaissance now and previously had the later lite gray colored model and I have been very lucky to not have any trouble...

    TO BE INTRODUCED IN JANUARY, AERUS GUARDIAN PLATINUM.

    2 HEPA filters? Isn't that a bit of over-kill? And what about its affect on the suction power/airflow of the machine? Make a HEPA bag and just use one HEPA filter, Perfect has already come out with HEPA C-style bags too. And for what reason would there need to be a HEPA filter both before...

    TO BE INTRODUCED IN JANUARY, AERUS GUARDIAN PLATINUM.

    I just don't understand why Aerus can't do anything that makes logical sense lately? The Renaissance body was less flimsy feeling than the egg-shell style canisters, and better looking in my opinion, as well as being able to store tools covered on board, and a 28 FOOT LONG CORD! The long cord...

    Electrolux Epic Upright Brush Roll Issue

    Do yourself a favor and go to totalvac.com, they have genuine Aerus/Electrolux brush rolls for about $11 plus shipping. I've purchased one for every Electrolux I own as well as 2 extra brush rolls for any future Lux I might purchase. About 4-5 years ago I bought a brush roll and headlight from...

    Cleaning LCDTV with new Rainbow

    I have never really read through the manual as to how to clean any of the flat screen LCD TV's we have in the house but I have vacuumed all of them with then central vac and horse hair dusting brush without a problem. We bought a very pricey 52" TOL SONY LED TV about a year and a half ago and I...

    Opinions or Suggestions on Vacuum Setup?

    I forgot to mention one other important point about the Lindhaus power nozzle, it is very quiet!! The Wessel-Werks p/n is quiet as well but I think the Lindhaus may be even more quiet. I'm a die-hard Electrolux fan but the Lux p/n are fairly noisy so its a nice change to listen to the Lindhaus...

    Opinions or Suggestions on Vacuum Setup?

    @durango159, I have both a TurboCat Zoom and the 14 inch Lindhaus power nozzle. Both my hoses are genuine VacuFlo hoses which are made by Plastiflex. The TurboGrip low voltage hose is 35 feet, and the electric hose is 30 feet. I wish they made a 35 foot electric hose when I purchased mine but...

    Opinions or Suggestions on Vacuum Setup?

    Installing a central vacuum is absolutely the right choice! I have had my VacuFlo system for 6+ years now and I can not say enough wonderful things about it! No matter what house I buy in the future, not matter what the cost of installation, a central vacuum is something that I can not be...

    Any vac shop have a clear or white A top fill tube for Hoover to sell ?

    Tyler, Where have you found the black bellows and fill tube? I really only need the fill tube for a Convertible I have as it has the original rounded slide-in bag holder, not the later style push on style holder. I very rarely use the Hoover and its mainly because I have to cut the collar of...
