    Awesome Motor upgrade for older Electrolux vacuums.

    Aerus Electrolux stopped making the original replacement motor for the 1205-ultralux machines so they have come out with the an adapter system which allows the use of the VM3 motor in the older machines. This new system beefs up performance alot! With the new motor you can actually almost get...

    A new kirby model in the pipe line??

    Filter on top I do know for a fact that the filter on the top of the guardian is moving to inside the machine. Other then that I'm not sure. They are suppose to be released in the spring.

    A new kirby model in the pipe line??

    new vacuums on the way I know that Aerus Electrolux is coming out with the new line up this spring so I'm sure Kirby will too. They are totally redoing the Guardian and making it look more "vintage". It's suppose to be silver in color too. Can't wait to see them.

    Electrolux service manuals

    Just so everyone knows. If anyone needs electrolux service manuals I have access to them. Aerus keeps them online in digital format for all machines going back to the late 50's. So if anyone ever needs them I would be happy to e-mail the pdf file to you.

    Airflow vs. Suction

    Electrolux Epic 6500 The 6500 powernozzle or the "N" series as they are refered too have small openings along the front and sides of the base to allow airflow in from all directions except from the back. The main issue with that stlye nozzle is not airflow but actually the rear wheels. They are...

    Vintage Central Vacuums

    Just curious but does anyone on here collect or have a few different vintage central vacuum cleaner systems. I know they started making them as early as the 1920's but it doesn't seem anyone ever discusses them?

    Aerus Electrolux Guardian Vacuum....

    Electrolux Upright The Aerus classic upright has right around 80". However, it has a filter mounted in the front. The new Guardian upright has the hepa filter on the side, therefore, they had put the older style motor back in the machine again and the suction will now drop back down to 60"...

    Aerus Electrolux Guardian Vacuum....

    Well............. I'll have to look into that. I guess if I called the company and asked what a Guardian should sell for they would be able to tell me. But I will look into that all the same cause I thought that was a little high.

    Need Help With Kirby Bag Troubles!

    Oops Forgot to answer your original question. You have to cut the zip tie off with a knife or a pair of scissors. They were not designed to be taken off and reapplied but to be replaced with a new one.......hence my previous answer.

    Need Help With Kirby Bag Troubles!

    Tie Thing You can actually buy the bag tie at your local Kirby store. They sell them as I have had to buy a few. They are actually included when you purchase a new cloth bag. However, I know you can get them by themselves. They may have to order the one for the G3 because of the light color but...

I saw one today on display in a vacuum shop.....didn't ask if he would sell it but it was about the most beautiful color I've ever seen on a vacuum. It was almost a navy blue but had a gray tint to it. I'll have to go back and...

    About to start working for Aerus/Electrolux

    Not sure....... I was told that about this shop here too...the owner stated that they DON'T sell used vacuums, which to me sounded very odd because I've worked for vac shops before and used vacuums espicially your higher end trade ins (filter queen, kirby, rainbow, tristar and electrolux) were...
