    The WORST vacuum cleaners, Ever made. In History.

    the generic stuff I bought is the same; wash, rinse and reuse.... it gets cheaper by the minute. Next order I make I'll order you a sheet and send it to you, I would like to hear what you think of it vs. the Electrolux/Eureaka material. 4 times as much material for roughly the same price. I...

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    There are great, good and frankly, awful aftermarket hoses. The best ones look just like genuine ones except they have the switch and sliding suction control... they even use the same hose stock.

    The WORST vacuum cleaners, Ever made. In History.

    the charcoal filters are available for every machine, including R and U bag users. I have them in some of my machines but I've lately tried some 24" x 24" bulk filter material and made my own afterfilters (*thanks D-T for the idea) and at $5 a sheet, it's dirt cheap and very effective in any of...

    Aerus/Electrolux USA 90th?

    There are elephants on the handle grip of the Model V which can be seen on Charles-Richard Lester's site at the below link.     Tigers are very prevalent on award items since they were referring to the sales team and not an individual product. I've seen hundreds of awards, plaques, and...

    Electrolux Brush Roll Improvements?

    Genuine parts are only sold by Aerus or it's franchise. Electrolux did make parts available outside for a short while. The exact dates are debated. NOS brush rolls are out there. In my experience, the aftermarket brush rolls are as good or very nearly as good as the originals and at least 50%...

    The WORST vacuum cleaners, Ever made. In History.

    The only Aerus vacuums which claim HEPA filtration are the Lux Guardian Platinum canister(double HEPA), Lux Guardian upright, Lux Guardian Ultra canister and the Lux Guardian canister.  The HEPA filter from the Guardian Ultra will fit on the Legacy. Epic 7000, Epic 6500 and Epic 6000, however...

    My Lux Collection

    I like all the lux machines, past and present. However, I do prefer the metal tanks for their quiet performance. I do love my Platinum though, the first truly quiet plastic bodied canister, but it isn't without issues, too much complicated circuitry and with all the filters it makes a horrible...

    My Lux Collection

    well that covers the upright Epics, in color if not model. There are also all the Epic tanks... 5000, 5500, 6000, 6500, 7000, 8000 and 9000 and all the assorted mixtures of white, gray, blue, and oyster that they came in

    The WORST vacuum cleaners, Ever made. In History.

    Desert-Tortise, Were your Epic 8000 in good condition and as it left the factory, it would not leak exhaust. My Renny doesn't nor do any of the machines from that era that I've worked on. Yours has led an abused and hard life, it is not representative of all Electrolux machines,  not even...

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    The genuine Aerus hoses are made to match the current coloration of the Classic model. The current 90th anniversary model is black and black hoses are now available. There are still white hoses from the previous model available new, but gray is getting rare new from Aerus.

    Replacement hose for Electrolux 1205

    Genuine Aerus hoses may be gray, light blue, white or now, black. You can tell a genuine hose as it will have a knob on the bottom to adjust suction and no switch for the PN. Aftermarket hoses will have a slide for suction adjustment and most have a switch for the PN

    My Lux Collection

    The EPIC name has been used on every style of Lux canister and the upright... any of those could be an EPIC, though I'm not telling which ones are..... and the hand vac is the Little Lux...

    FOR SALE: An Electrolux (USA) Model 20 on eBay

    I'd jump if the price were more in line with the condition and lack of accessories. I already have one, but a second would be nice to have for a parts machine.
