    Central vac recomendations

    Retractable hoses are nice, not an easy install in existing homes though. More wallboard and or stud cutting and patching. They also can only use air driven or a battery carpet power head, so if you have much carpeting, you may want to oversize the unit to be sure it can drive that turbo brush.

    True, but NZ power grid is 230 volts.

    Central vac recomendations

    Any 240 volt three stage or dual motor 2 stage unit rated for 5.000 to 8,000 square feet. I have no idea what is available in N.Z. Plan for a minimum of wall inlets for bets efficiency. An unfiltered cyclonic is nice, if you can install it in a garage or exhaust it into the courtyard or from...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    That looks like an Ultra One! Where is the current Aerus assembly plant? Bristol Virginia? Wasn't it in Texas? I thought all the former posts were referencing it, bit it was Bristol Ct. which was the old original plant, in Old Greenwich.

    Eureka Excalibur Canister 6975

    I remember all three when new. I didn't care for the Europa with the smaller wheels. I think the Excellio home cleaning system has a larger hepa filter in the rear. Dis they all have side parking shut off?

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    I found the Eureka Europa model number is #6998. It's the Electrolux Excellio. JC Penney sold the Excalibur canister by Volta I remember in the catalogue. The side bumper rose up on an angle front to back.

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    I have an Oxygen #6997, blue. I just reassembled the hose handle after it separated and the power head switch fell inside. I couldn't get the screw in the bottom front in. An awl went in at an angle. The suction bleeder is lined up and working so I used electrical tape around the lower front to...

    Anyone else think the pre "ball" Dysons had better Bin/Cyclone designs?

    They had two dogs that shed profusely. Her husband was a jerk who didn't know how to properly maintain anything. He even managed to break their Kirby.

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    I found some youtube videos and Flickr photos of AB Electrolux cylinder models preceding the Oxygen and Ultra one series such as the Excellio Z 5405, 5235, also sold as the Eureka Excalibur (not the first series by Volta) the Ingenio, and Microlite, Slimline, and Dolphin.

    Anyone else think the pre "ball" Dysons had better Bin/Cyclone designs?

    My sister had a Dyson ball and said it was a royal pain to clean out clogs if it lost suction.

    US dealers still show an off brand E-Lux Epic style plastic canister, but as out of stock or sold out. Optimum clean I think it is. $800

    Offering free Eureka Roto-matic Power Team model 1279, Minneapolis, MN (Twin Cities area)

    I have never seen a new Eureka powerteam hose wand end with the vinyl cladding all the way around the curve since the early 1980's. When my moms need replacing, the curved section was exposed steel, and either a longer power head cord or a short adapter cord was needed so it would reach the...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    The reason Aerus became the sucessor to the American and Canadian Electrolux vacuum concern was because AB E-lux wanted to market Electrolux up level major appliances made by Frigidaire in Ontario, and a new laundry plant in North or South Carolina. Beam was also sold, having been bought prior to.

    Eureka Production Overview

    Holden Street and Hamilton is not in downtown Detroit, but closer to midtown off of West Grand Boulevard and the Lodge freeway. Henry Ford main hospital is close by too.

    Offering free Eureka Roto-matic Power Team model 1279, Minneapolis, MN (Twin Cities area)

    Too bad your original hose isn't taped up, but they tore after a few years old because no swivels at either end. The factory grip was nicer than the exposed metal curve on the replacements and later new ones. Neither are available anymore. My 1289 has a Hoover type hose a shop fitted to the...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    The Eureka Excalibur canister of the mid 90s was a Volta, and succeeded the first plastic bodied Express models. Then came the rounded front one with the hose connector on the top. Then the first Oxygen 1 series made in Vastervik Sweden. That was their final product. The Oxygen 3 was made in...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    I don't think Aerus is going away. They have zero ties with E-lux AB. Anything made by Electrolux AB is Chinese junk.
