My partner bought a small office suite for his company he started a while ago and is growing rapidly and wanted a suggestion for a vac to equip the building with. There is a lot of tile floors and low pile office carpet. I suggested the current Shark rocket duo clean corded model from Costco...

Well the time has come…Mom’s Electrolux model S has finally bit the dust this past summer. The motor sounds really bad and runs slow and also smells bad. I didn’t chuck it right away but considered it. Well tonight I was using the early White Electrolux model L in the basement and I heard a...

That’s the latest rebuilt machine I’ve ever seen I’m not sure when they stopped remanufacturing machines, thought it was in mid 80’s but clearly this was the Marquise era which was 1988. I wonder what motor is inside the machine…an Olympia motor or a Marquise motor? The Olympia motors are far...

I like that model It’s based on the sidekick and should work the same but it is a bit bulkier with the fan added and the dust bag. They sell for $20 or more on eBay so definitely a good thrift store value. Great for stairs so you don’t have to haul the canister up onto a staircase. I feel it...

I wonder if… You actually enclose your check for the amount listed if they will actually send you a package of Res got to be some grandma out there that would do that! They may actually still honor those old envelope prices! I’d think it would be easier to just send the bags than send back the...

I really love… The coloring on your genuine rebuilt model G by the way…I always felt the gray rebuilt G’s look so good in the hammered gray paint with the gray bumpers/handle etc. it goes beautifully with the shiny polished aluminum. Since I couldn’t change the teal blue bumpers and handle and...

Did they have switches? I’m wondering if they had replacement switches? If so I’d like to get one or two. My Mom’s Aerus dealer told me they no longer make the switches and the one on my G sometimes doesn’t work but if I switch it a few times it comes on and then is fine for a while. I have an...

Here is some help For the Olympia hose…(we have the same model)….you can go to an Aerus dealer and get a new genuine hose it will work perfectly. You can look on eBay for a used genuine hose, just make sure you get the correct one with the two prongs on the machine end. To tell genuine from non...

Accessories The pic you posted would be about right for what would have been included with this model. Upgrade options would be the combination rug and floor tool to replace the single sided floor tool you have so you can clean delicate rugs without using the power nozzle. All Electrolux...

Sometimes The motors just run hot. I used to go in my Electrolux branch frequently and on one occasion I had a power nozzle that kept shutting off and the top cover was very hot. I asked the repairman and he said it’s just a bad motor and it runs hot…we just replace the motors. So that could...

Thrift store shark rocket I stopped by my local thrift store for a quick look and saw a pretty decent Shark rocket stick vac there. They wanted $39. I did buy it because it worked when I tried it and the suction was low but the filter was …as I figured…packed. The power nozzle had virtually no...

I’ve noticed Some manufacturers offer their vacs in different colors. Shark sells the rocket in multiple colors and on qvc you could pick the color. I also see Miele offers the same model in a few colors. I always liked that manufacturers would make vacs in different colors. Style is another...

I love your reply… Suckolux…you think just like me! That reply to your bf is perfect! I do the same with my partner. Though he doesn’t ever comment on the amount of vacuums I have… my vacuum closet is not a closet he ever goes in as it is in the back of my personal office/den. We respect each...

More than just a Nice find! Certainly a nice collectible addition. Though I certainly see why these wouldn’t have been good sellers. Compare to the canister clearly much more cumbersome to use. Heavy and time consuming to convert to attachment mode like a Kirby. Even the ad for Electrolux...

I’ve always seem to have liked… The US Electrolux canisters. Between the ease of the swivel hose handles and the ease of use and versatility of the combination tools, the cogged tire cord reinforced power nozzle belts and the self adjusting nature of the power nozzles and finally the shape of...

Me too, I did a Eureka conversion too. An orange canister that belonged to someone who I cleaned for. The power nozzle was horrible on her Chinese rugs which were covering the shag carpet in her apartment . It stuck to the rugs something awful so I used an Electrolux combination rug and floor...

So little posts on these useful and convenient machines. My Sister has a roomba…it’s very loud and annoying to me…my Brother has a different brand of robotic vacuum and it is smooth and quiet like a Miele canister. I think I’d be open to getting one provided it’s not loud like the roomba but I...

We should also consider and look at Who is on the development and engineering teams of vacuum cleaners? Men or women? How many if so? I bet it’s more male than female. Men instinctively are creators and refiners of tools while women are more users and “doers”. Nature gave men more the nature...

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars Yep…this is why. I really think they think differently…generally..Now I have noticed something interesting….as a member of the gay community….some…not all…lesbians are more into fixing things more like men. Also we should take a notation of how...

I love and hate certain things about some vacs and vice versa on other vacs. Hence I’ve learned to adapt or swap parts or attachments to create better versions. This can involve mixing brands and styles and even use size adapters. If you’ve done the same…please share and post with photos too...
