    I scored a Simplicity Synergy X9.1!

    I got this Simplicity Synergy today at the Big Saver today for $15! It hasn't really been cared for that well, but I'll be able to fix it. I tried it, and the clean air motor ran, but the brushroll motor did not. I hope that won't be a problem. The back plastic piece is broken in a way that the...

    Top of your wish list sweeper?

    Here is the new Radiance R40P that replaced the Radiance RADP. It says it has the Heads Up dirt sensor, but I can't figure out how that is acheived since they took away the two amber LED's. Also, it looks like they changed the HEPA filter on the side of the machine. I'd like to know more about...

    Top of your wish list sweeper?

    Wow. I didn't know it was no longer being made. To be honest, I like the pearl white better than the blue on the new R40P. How much would it cost to get one shipped from the factory outlet to Alabama? (Not that I can afford it.)

    Number one most wanted My number one wish list vacuum, while not vintage, is a Riccar Radiance Premium. I would so much love to have one of those. The only problem is that they cost $1500.

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Electrolux Diamond Jubilee I was at an estate sale a few weeks ago, and I scored a Bronze Model G and a Diamond Jubilee with attachments all for $15. I just got through cleaning the Diamond Jubilee, which wasn't all that much fun considering how absolutely filthy it was. I have the PN-5, but it...

    Electrolux Versatility resurrection

    When my local vac shop closed on March 13, 2014, I got a few items that they were going to throw out. One such item was a fairly new China Pride Electrolux Versatility upright. It's been in the garage since March 13, 2014, and I finally decided to clean it up. I took as much of it apart as I...

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    One minor problem with the Super J is that when I bought it, the carry handle had come loose and was taped onto the machine. The same day, I took it to the (now defunct) vacuum store, and the nice man there fixed it for me at no charge. But now, his quick repair is starting to crumble. The more...

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Super J I got this machine at a flea mall many years ago and decided that it was time to clean it up and enjoy it. So today, I liberated it, gave it a good clean up, and put it to work. The PN-4 worked flawlessly on our shag carpet. I used to have all the attachements, but unfortunately, they...

    2 luxs

    Lovelux, Those machines are GORGEOUS! Just today, I got my Super J and its power nozzle out and vacuumed the whole house. The Super J needed a good clean up, though. It was nasty.

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Thanks for the info I'm still learning my Electroluxes. I want to get more of them. In the past, I have passed up several really good deals on Electroluxes, and I regret not getting them. But now, I buy every Electrolux I see. I currently have a XXX, an E, a Turquoise G, a Tan G, two 1205's, a...

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Hi, Vacuumlad, Okay, thanks for the information on the brushroll. I don't have a PN-2, but will this brushroll work in one without the thread cutters, or are those necessary too? Sorry, not getting rid of my genuine Lux hose.

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Perstistent PN-1 problems I took off the thread cutters on the new PN-2 brushroll that I put in, but the belt smell and noises are still there. I took a video of it so we can more easily find the problem. The only thing I can think of to do now is take my pocketknife and cut off the bristles...

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Elusive EH-4? I got this brand new genuine Electrolux EH-4 when I got the 1205 along with the original hose. But I can't find another one anywhere! All I can find are the generic aftermarket ones. If I wanted to get another one of these, where do I look?

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    So when the wheel is set to number 1 or coarse dirt, it has a higher sensitivity than when it is on fine dirt or number 6?

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    One thing I've always wondered about Electroluxes is what is the purpose of the cleaning selector? I know it has something to do with how long it takes before the vacuum thinks the bag is full. Also, how will these new Perfect HEPA bags work with it?

    Electrolux Super J/ Updates

    I have a Super J That I got from the flea mall years ago. When I bought it, it was complete, but after a major move 4 years ago, all that remains is the PN-2, woven hose, and Super J. I'd like to get a matching floor nozzle, crevice tool, and dusting brush. I never did use the Super J all that...

    So...Daily Drivers? (pre 1995)

    I vacuum and dust (but not power nozzle) my room every day with my Electrolux 1205. Yes, I know the dusting brush is for a G, but it's all I have that matches.

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Okay, thank you very much for your help. I knew something had to be up, because those thread guards just didn't look right rubbing up against the other metal part.

    My Daily Driver - The Fabulous Electrolux 1205

    Vacuumlad, Thank you! But the brushroll that was on this power nozzle when I got it looks the same, and it didn't do that. Here is the old brushroll.
