    Looking for a handle for a Lux

    Have you actually tried your closest Aerus dealer? We service them all the time. A customer is a customer and the warranty is long expired so it's a paying customer. Doesn't do to turn away paying business. I'm sure that a genuine part is going to be the only one available as not enough of these...

    Power Nozzle for Vintage Tank/Canister Vacs

    Hmmm... just what I need to really dig some dirt with my older machines and I imagine it would significantly improve any vacuums performance given the quality of design and build Tacony is known for. I may actually buy something 'new'.

    Electrolux Epic series PN to 1693 style with upgrades

    The PN on the Guardian Platinum is not the same as the one for the Legacy. Different elbows and wand sizes. The Platinum PN is shared with the TOL TriStar models. The PN chart above is extremely inaccurate. Only the earliest of PN 1s had a riveted elbow. All others have a replaceable plastic...

    generic electric Electrolux hoses - varying quality

    Hesco sells one very much like B. I've had great luck with them. A is less well made but usually quite servicable and cheaper. C are awful in my opinion, I've found those to be of very poor quality and often are not removable once inserted as the spring latches jam and/or break. I have no...

    Electrolux LX

    Hey Alex,   I've sent you an email as well as I'd also love to have more information on the LX/LXI. I have 3 of them and love them - they are the only model I've kept duplicates of that didn't differ in some way and still look for more.   Tom

    Unethical Aerus LLC Sale?

    I see a lot of assumptions about the motivations of the salesman/woman and the state of mind of the purchaser with absolutely no information to back it up. Even the ad never makes such a claim and I think the assumption is unreasonable and downright insulting to both sides. Aerus machine...

    Best vacuum for small apartment without pets?

    If you want the Dyson so badly, buy your mom a reasonable replacement if she agrees to the trade.. otherwise, grow up and buy your own someday. It's not your house, it's your father's and it's not your vacuum, it now belongs to your mother. You're a greedy little boy who wants things he can't...

    Selling my Penncrest A117 and shipping

    put any nuts and bolts in a ziplock bag and tape it some where conspicuous... Most folks buying a vacuum expect to have some assembly to do in exchange for cheaper shipping.

    Selling my Penncrest A117 and shipping

    there is no way shipping a vacuum anywhere in the US should cost anything like that much. Unless you aren't breaking it down to a reasonably small package. It is not ever economical to ship an upright in it's fully assembled state, you end up paying based on dimension rather than weight. I've...

    Found my own Avacodo dream today

    D-T... got it in one... it is 63 miles to the nearest real hotel and the motel in the closest town has only 12 rooms and they've been at full occupancy for 21 months since this whole enterprise was re-started. Thankfully I get to go home soon.

    RESTORED Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50 (DS50)

    John, I know how much you hate to be reminded (pestered??) to ship something out... therefore I refrained from asking you to immediately procure said Kirby D50 and deliver it to the hands of the nearest UPS store where it would be lovingly (okay... not lovingly, maybe not even professionally)...

    Found my own Avacodo dream today

    Hotel room would be a very generous word for where I'm staying.... I'm in the corner of a construction trailer cum dormitory. The Kirby was packed up and dropped at UPS before I even left Helena. If it had come back to the site, someone would have used it to suck up something that should never...
