    Eureka 2095 A

    You might actually like that 3.5 amp motor. If I’m not mistaken those actually had a decent amount of power for what they were, I believe it is a pancake motor.

    Eureka 2095 A

    Unless the motor is a dual speed motor I don’t think it can be done. I’d leave it original and congrats on the purchase!

    Lupe Cordless Cleaner

    I remember when he did the vid on the electrolux trilobite, the first robot from electrolux. So he finally got his hands on a dyson robot? That should be something to watch! Have you checked out his other channel?

    I am subscribed to his youtube and find him rather entertaining when the days are long and tiresome.

    Lupe Cordless Cleaner

    I just watched this vid last night before you posted about it! Seems like a really neat design and did you see the agitation?!?! That’s the most agitation I have ever seen come from a cordless anything. I’d highly consider one of these if they came to the US market.

    So I was talking with a past VCCC member from years and years ago and apparently there was a newsletter for electrolux. Here are some pics that were shared with me. How cool is it to see a newsletter of yesteryear?! Enjoy 😊

    Oh, we all get that you support John as he needs all the support he can get, I’m offering a few tid bits here and there, if you want them great, if not move on. Am I stepping on any toes offering some “factual information” ? No. Nobody mentioned that you had to be part of any “newsletter war”...

    I find Charles to be a great friend and also great person of knowledge, his website is what led me here years ago. The amount of information Charles Lester holds is so great that he could fill books. I really wish his site would come back. The beautiful detailed pics, the wording and information...

    Alex Taber..Electrolux history

    The Lux company in Stockholm is where it all started, let’s not forget that Lux also owned and still owns to this day subsidiary companies such as Husqvarna, Viking, Huebsch etc...Axel was an entrepreneur and a very successful one at that! Privately? Why talk privately when we can express and...

    Alex Taber..Electrolux history

    However before Axel had gotten into the vacuum industry he was in the gas lamp industry, it all started one day when he spotted the cleaner in a window, I believe it was a Volta if I can recall, it was big and heavy and his Lux model 1 although similar in design was lighter in weight 18Kg (to...

    How to remove cooling fan of Rainbow E-2 Single speed?

    Oh that’s right! Because I work in a rainbow office doing all of the repairs I know nothing, and because Tom owns a vac shop he knows Nothing either... why bother asking for info when you can just pick up the phone and call RAINVAC. They don’t even have a rexair account anymore. I service...

    How to remove cooling fan of Rainbow E-2 Single speed?

    We highly advised against removing the fan as those fans ARE NOT meant to come off. Well at this point hopefully your JB weld holds up

    Rainbow HEPA filter

    Kelton I don't know if you got the humor out of Les's post but he was joking. I got it right away and kind of chuckled. Yes, Tom and Chris are correct though, I have a feeling that they get their cords from the same manufacturer that Aerus obtains theirs from, because if you look at the upright...

    Kirby shampooer vs rainbow/extraction.

    I would recommend a hoover steam vac, rug doctor, Bissell Big green either 90's tub version or the new "Commercial" version... There's so much out there just explore the options and see what suits you.

    Kirby shampooer vs rainbow/extraction.

    What will cause the carpets to get dirty faster is using the Kirby method, the soap doesn’t come out of the carpet and it leaves an oily/sticky/filmy residue that will cause dirt to stick to it. I’d go with the rainbow because you are using an extraction method which does suck the dirt and...

    Rainbow HEPA filter

    Tekjunkie... how could you say that about generic filters? I have used them for years and had no issues. Hepa is hepa and granted there may be different grades of Hepa, generic Hepa filters I find filter just as good as the OEM, The filter that was in question still has quite a bit of life left...

    Tub style carpet machines

    I tend to favor the bissell Big Green. Powerful, multiple uses, and they get the job done. I managed to find a NIB one from ‘93 on FB market place a couple of years ago and 2 weeks before that, a NIB little green from 93’ both are dated and I’ll keep them new. Now I did find a new/used once...
