    eBay: Can't Quite "Wrap" My Head Around This ...

    ... Can you? Seller "brizacks" from Fort Lauderdale, Florida wants 200 bucks for 16 Electrolux USA "wrappers" (the term first used for its new disposable filter bags in 1952) and an after filter; oh, but it has free shipping--check it out...

    Electrolux B-6

    Here's a B6 Youtube vid that was recently posted by Mario Perez: Translated title and description from Portuguese to English: "Electrolux Floor Polisher and Wax Year 1950 Blumenau "In order not to give a very long video, I only used the felt discs to eliminate the classic "waves" formed by...

    Discovery II Dual Port Upgrade? (Electrolux USA)

    According to the instruction manuals ... The 12" (or whatever the longer tool is) was called a "narrow space cleaner" until around the time Consolidated Foods bought the AB Electrolux and Wenner-Gren Foundation shares--then it was named "crevice tool" (albeit "narrow space cleaner" was used...

    Electrolux Genesis LX

    I also discovered that the Genesis LX has a 9.5 amp motor, and the Genesis LXe had a 10 amp motor. Is there much of a difference in performance?

    Super J / Golden J in disguise - factory refurbished

    "Somebody coined the moniker 'Golden' Jubilee and it stuck." It seems that it was someone working for Electrolux that coined "Golden J", as I've seen it used in the company's introductory literature of the Super J. Electrolux USA was unique at the time in the worldwide brand in labeling its...

    Discovery II Dual Port Upgrade? (Electrolux USA)

    Thanks for the info., Jimmy & Edgar. I'm thinking that many do not know about the combo tool and crevice nozzle holders, as I've never seen any stored on them, but I have seen hoses and wands stored. I'd wondered why Aerus no longer makes the onboard caddy; now I know that it's because of the...

    Discovery II Dual Port Upgrade? (Electrolux USA)

    Thanks, Myles & Jimmy. I wonder if the part was made in the lighter sand color to match the Discovery Advantage? And, speaking of upgrades, here is the onboard hose/wand caddy that is also currently listed on eBay. I'm wondering if the upholstery tool/dusting brush could be stored on the...

    Electrolux Vaporizers & Sprayers

    Here's yet another version of the sprayer currently listed on eBay. The box colors indicate that it was sold with the teal 1205s:

    Discovery II Dual Port Upgrade? (Electrolux USA)

    I'm wondering about the Dual Sidekick and Power Plug Port Part #7150-1 currently listed on eBay. Has it been correctly identified? If so, is it an OEM or after-market? Any information would be appreciated.

    Aerus Classic White trying to source a filter cover

    Try contacting the main offices at aerushome.com. They may have one in stock that they'd ship to you. Otherwise, check the store locator feature to contact other Aerus stores' stocks. Hope you find one--I'm the same way with color matches.

    @Mike81 ... I apologize for overlooking your replies till now. Thanks for posting the Youtube video I shared in the initial post--great work! Also, thanks for the other information, photos, and vids from your personal collection--impressive! So is the Finnish direct sales company still...

    Electrolux Epic 3500 SR

    Another thought that came to mind regarding the hopping of your Electrolux 3500SR is that its brush roll bristles have stiffened over time. You could try to remedy that by removing the brush roll, placing it in a pail of warm water, weighing it down with a plastic container filled with water...

    Electrolux Epic 3500 SR

    Just wanted to mention that the Epic 3500SR label uprights were sold in different models/colors from 1993-2000. There were 2 models in navy & light sand--1719 and U110A. I doubt there is any difference. In 1994, with the introduction of the Renaissance C104A all cleaners were given...

    Electrolux Generic vs OEM hoses question

    Re: No hoses listed at Aerus's online store That IS weird! The only thing I can figure out is that they don't want to list the more expensive items, because each dealer has his/her own variable pricing. That's the main concern I have with Aerus. I don't understand why it doesn't have set...

    Good and bad Electrolux Motors?

    Thanks for the photos of your swivel connector. I agree that the wand lock tab looks like it's situated correctly due to the indent. Right now, my tools are in storage as I'm in transition; so I'm unable to check them. It could be that Electrolux moved the tab to the side in the conversion to...

    AB Electrolux, Lux International Vid

    @eurekaprince ... Thanks for the correction. I did mean to text '1998' as the year that the dissolution of AB Electrolux and Lux International's partnership took place but didn't edit carefully enough. Also, I couldn't find the information that I'd referenced about AB Electrolux selling its...

    Electrolux Generic vs OEM hoses question

    Aerus has a newer website (I'm not sure when it was redone, but it was sometime in 2016)--I wonder if you used it or the previous one? In the upper right hand corner is the "Online Store" tab. You should be able to find hoses there.
