    Does any body know if...

    DC27 brush roll The brush roll is unique, as far as I know. It's softer and less fully tufted than the dc28, many of whose other parts it shares. Definitely not as stiff as the bristles on the other models you mentioned. I like the dc28 better, but the 27 is a very good vacuum.

    A void filled (lux)

    Found one I went through around 700 ebay listings in hopes of finding an afterfilter kit that would match your Epic 3500SR. I found only one full kit. It's genuine Electrolux, but it's not the correct color; it's light blue, which matches the version that came right after yours. It'll fit...

    Modern eBay thread #1

    Packaging fail Does anyone see the humor in his packaging? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Studley-ENDUST-VACUUM-FILTER-Electrolux-WH60150-bag-cannister-2-pack-cleaning-/180509788175?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item2a0738c80f

    A void filled (lux)

    After Filter You can install one. You need the 2-piece kit to do it, and this consists of a replacable filter and a permanent mounting bracket that has adhesive to attach it to the side of the vacuum around the exhaust. Then the filter snaps onto the bracket. The after filters were...

    A void filled (lux)

    Congrats! I think you found a really great vacuum, and I don't think you overpaid for it at all. That's not a bad price - those machines last forever. Yours looks like it's in great shape. Any scuffs it might have will come off with Kirby Lickity Split cleaner or some equivalent. You can...

    The most unfit for purpose machine you have come across?

    Hate to say it... The Dyson DC21 and DC23 Motorhead. The unprecedentedly long nozzle makes using small attachments nearly impossible. It's a great carpet cleaner, but the only thing that makes it functionally different from an upright is the floor brush that allows it to clean wood floors...

    Eureka Whirlwind Clear Plastic??

    I really liked that vacuum. I had one and gave it to my brother for his college apartment, but it didn't survive his roommate. It had a terrific power nozzle with either a wood brush rool or a VG-3, which mine had. Lots of suction, very cool to look at, but its separation system let too much...

    Which of the Dyson vacuums has been your favorite?

    I have two The DC17 and DC28 are stupendous carpet cleaners. The DC07 Carpet is very good, too.

    Oreck`s newest

    The belt is exposed? A high-speed moving part is exposed? So the dog or the baby just gets mangled by it? I have a hard time believing that, but, if it's true, wth?

    PINK Dyson dc07

    CLIC That is a VERY limited edition vacuum, the CLIC commemorative DC07. It is not the DC07 Pink Susan Komen model that sells as a limited edition at Target in the USA during October, which is breast cancer awareness month. CLIC is the acronym for Cancer and Leukemia in Childhood. Dyson...

    Few of My New Aerus Vacuums

    Very nice new and recent Luxes! I'll take a pass on Fox News. I really like the Guardian upright. I have the new white one and think it's great. Does the blue one on the right have the same suction motor?

    My Collection! :)

    College dorm I don't blame you for wanting to have it with you, but I've seen what happens to vacuums in dorm rooms. Lotsa people are gonna want to borrow it, and it won't stay in mint condition very long. Just consider that. How about the Hoover canister or the Epic 3500 with a hose and...

    Additions to my Lux Collection:

    4 outta 5 The "E?" in the above post also is a Model L. Just missing the gold Model L that matches the Super J. Nice Electroluxes!

    My Collection! :)

    The Miele S4 Orion I bet that your Orion will become a collectible Miele. That PN was problematic to demonstrate and sell (according to dealers who have told me that), but it was a first for Miele. The machine itself, IMO, is the prettiest S4, and I hope you keep it.

    Hoover U4171, quick ID help appreciated

    Thanks! I appreciate the help. However, not only did I forget that John already has that particular Convertible, he also reminded me that I'm the one who gave it to him.... :&#92

    Hoover U4171, quick ID help appreciated

    Hopefully one of those gurus will see this and know the correct answer. It looks like it belongs with it because the whole machine is in such good condition.

    I Blew My Top!

    Glad you found it I was wondering if you'd be able to get that part. The White Pearl predates the Artico, and I have been trying to get replacement outer body parts for the Artico, and they apparently aren't available.

    My Collection! :)

    Nice machines! Your collection is really nice. You have some excellent vacuums. Does your Miele have a turbine nozzle attachned to it, or is that the S5 Orion with a battery-powered power nozzle? Your Electrolux Epic 3500SR 75th Anniversary Edition upright is a favorite vacuum of mine. You...

    Hoover U4171, quick ID help appreciated

    Could anyone tell me if the bag on this Hoover is original? If it is, this would make a good present for John. If it's not original, though, I'm not gonna buy it. Thanks...
