    NOS Electrolux Model L or refurbished with more features?

    The Best I am an Electrolux fan. Many model G's are available on craigslist and ebay as well as garage sales. The G is my favorite for quietness and dependability. The 1205 is a tad underpowered. The Jubilee series, Super J and anniversary editions are great machines, the Olympia not so...

    My Golden Jubilee.....

    Gold on Gold In the lower 50, I was selling Electrolux through the tribulation and evolution of the 1205 power hose and wand designs and when the Jubilee was introduced I swooned.  The 50th sticker models, Powernozzle 2 and direct connect electric hose and wand were miraculous, the color and...

    LUX suction

    $279.00 Sandy, its good that are finding time to participate with the club again. I began selling Electrolux in 1972 shortly before the Jubilee. The powernozzle was a package with the 1205 and the 1205 could not be purchased by itself without one. The rebuilt G was $109.00 and the power...

    Another Compact Descendant

    I Felt the Earth Move I have been enjoying the Air-Storm. Its quiet, has reasonable suction and its extremely light on it's feet following where ever I go. The Power Nozzle is much the same, light and seems to float over the surfaces. I would have said it couldn't clean well but the contents...

    Info on Hoover "Wind Tunnel" self-propelled vacuum

    Ugly But What a Sucker Its a bullet proof design that has in been in production basically unchanged for 15 years. One of the best carpet cleaners ever made. The hose suction is among the highest of all upright ever made. If you take care it it will last forever.

    LUX suction

    Hose Pilot I have piloted Electrolux vacuums my entire life and sold them in the 70's. I began selling 1205s but often pushed customers into a rebuilt G with a power nozzle upgrade. The whole package along with a hose wrapper cord was $152.00 when the 1205 was at $279.00. I love the G because...

    The word on Miele Canister Vacuums

    Sticks and Stones The old children's rhyme sticks and stones will break your bones but words can never hurt me" might better read "sticks and stones can break your bones so don't throw any." All of us write from experiental memories. How could I possibly know anything about British...

    The word on Miele Canister Vacuums

    The Good , The Bad and the Truth Pete explained my only complaint with Miele. Its boxy, heavy and has an extremely stretchy hose. It isn't always inclined to come when you call or follow you around corners and when you give it a smart tug it can act like a slingshot and come wheeling to crack...

    Nice Legs Since you were already on your knees, did you lose the ring box in preparation for a propsal? Lucky you, I hope it means you got a cheap vacuum out of the deal.

    Another Compact Descendant

    Hard to Find I called Schoettler Research and Engineering Corp. and was referred to a number in LaGrande, Oregon. A lady named Carol from a company called Patriot, upsold me into 2 doz bags for $34.00. I cleaned the machine which was dirty outside but nice and clean inside. There are lots of...

    Unique Bags The round paper liner had a hard cardboard top with a flip up handle for carrying. Any idea where to get replacement disposable bags for an Air-Storm that is more squared than a Tri-Star but not so big as a Miracle-Mate?

    Another Compact Descendant

    I found an Air Storm at Goodwill for $9.00 with a power nozzle. Dirty and the bag so stuffed full I had to pry it out of the cloth liner.

    Linx Cordless Upright WindTunnel

    I have fallen for the Linx. We have one at church and a friend who helps clean for mom has one. For a stick vacuum the amount of lint and dirt it captureds is amazing. Emptying it is a snap and otherhan a hefty ptice tag they're great. Anyone here have an inside loop on getting on? Yhanks...
