Bingo! I would have bought the same one….if I had plenty of space for extra vacs! Good score…rarely see these in a thrift store. I saw a cordless Bissell air ram earlier this week. Almost bought it but decided to fiddle with it and try it there in the store as it did work. L with space...

I’ll take a stab… That you bought the purple and gold SEBO is it? In picture 2 far right? Jon

Yes I love them…but on glossy surface test first in an inconspicuous area. Weird how they work. I had known of them for some time but didn’t try them until I moved into a house with natural stone and can’t use acidic cleaners to remove the soap scum from my shower because it is marble. A...

Such a shame So few people are interested in Kirby’s anymore. They just prefer the light weight of the plastic vacs or go to a Dyson for a heavy upright. I see so many on 5 miles app and craigslist and they just sit unsold. I’ve seen a few in goodwill and they do seem to sell there. I get...

Bad machine The Guardian Ultra was not sealed. Poor design exhaust air came out the cord hole and around the back cover. Even an Aerus salesman said it was a nice looking machine but poor design….they’d have to beef that up. Jon

Better yet Is when both swivel. Maximum flexibility for different people’s ways of doing things. Of course I really like the retractable cord reels the best. I’ve even seen several uprights with them now. I often use an old vacuum cleaner power cord cut off a dead vacuum that I put a female...

Yes I found the Mr. Clean eraser some years ago and was impressed though I’m still amazed at how many people haven’t used don’t use or try them. I knew they existed myself but didn’t try them until I had to clean my natural stone shower and asked someone at Home Depot what to use and another...

Apparently… An Aerus dealer on here has noted that as of September 2021 Aerus will be discontinuing the Guardian Platinum and the Lux Legacy and will continue to manufacture the Lux Classic but no longer in the Bristol, VA plant, but instead out of a China plant and the abristol plant is being...

Cord wrapping I like the newer versions of cord cleats where one (usually the upper) can twist and then you can slide the whole cord off the cleat, drop it slightly and unhook from the bottom cleat. That’s really the best arrangement. But the same style of twisting the cord with your thumb and...

How’s the noise level? My sister has a genuine roomba vacuum and it is terribly noisy. Really annoying to have it going in the kitchen while trying to watch tv in the next room. My Brother bought some other brand (not sure of the brand) on a Black Friday sale a few years ago and it is very...

Is that the thrift store… That is next to harbor freight tools? It faces Belt line road between Jupiter and Plano Road next to the old Richardson Square Mall? If so…I went in there maybe a month ago or so when passing by…I was less than impressed with their collection of stuff and their prices...

They’re my go to for heavy duty cleaning!! I use these like crazy but I will mention they do take the sheen off glossy paint so be careful on your house woodwork. My MOST FAVORITE use for them is to clean my stainless steel kitchen sink. Wet the eraser, add a puddle of dish soap to the sponge...

Yes that ad… The AE is so shiny in that ad. I think they may have been that shiny but they may have used that car lacquer paint they used to use that had the lacquer built in but the gloss would fade away in 6-7 years until about gone by the time the car was 10-15 years old particularly on the...

Take a look here At this model L for sale on ebay…it has a unique hose. Genuine Electrolux hose in the model L blue but has the Golden Jubilee newer direct connect handle in the cream colored and the machine end coupling plastics are also in cream. The attachments also are all cream. I’m...

The adapter would be useless In this case. Yeah I guess it would help to hold the brush in place tighter as I imagine if you raise the vac on its back end it just falls out. Hmm. So on second though maybe you do need it for that. The vac looks quite good. I have used the Mr. Clean eraser in...

More on hoses I’ve found numerous situations where Electrolux’s were sold brand new with different hoses than what would “seem” correct for that model. I believe when the factory would begin a color change they would equip the models with whatever color hose material that still remained. I’ve...

There’s an original Christmas ad For the AE that Electrolux posted and it has the hose on it so that would be a good reference as the the correct hose. Electrolux would sometimes change the color of the weave material. My E came with a painted cuff on the machine end and a fabric hose in...

Shark Rocket, original old version still sold new. I see that the very first version of the Shark rocket is still being manufactured and for sale at Target, Wal-Mart and I think even Bed, Bath and Beyond. At target it is the gray and orange version, at Walmart it is the blue and gray...

Seeing that you like quality… I’d recommend a Aerus Electrolux upright. Depending on how heavy you want the vacuum to be there are two options…the regular upright which includes attachments or the Lux Lite which is lightweight but does not include attachments. The regular upright with...

For me… Of a vintage Hoover…it would have to be a dial a matic. My play school teacher had one. It was the early 70s and it seemed so cool to me as my Mom only had the Electrolux model L. Since then I’ve realized it was not a “dirty fan” machine and really became the model for what basic...
