    Worn bristles on decent quality bare floor tool

    Suggestion For more versatility I suggest getting a used Electrolux combination rug and floor tool. They are very durable…the bristles last a long time and are replaceable…and you get the convenience of being able to remove the head from the elbow, flip it over, reattach and now you can use the...

    Considering buying a Lux Legacy - question though

    Yes…and also I’ve actually been considering same. The Lux Classic and Lux Legacy are basically the same machine, but the Lux Legacy is a more “deluxe” version. The canister body has a different top with those nice attachment wells, and also it has the automatic control to stop the machine when...

    Anyone know about these?

    That metropolitan vacuum Looks like a mix of an Electrolux model T but add better wheels and a longer handle and with a generic electric hose and a generic or Miele power nozzle. And those attachments look really cheap and generic to me. I guess I think like this since I’m an Aerus/Electrolux...

    David Vacuums

    We have those “David’s vacuums” stores here The previous Oreck storefronts are now David’s vacuums. I just thought it was a local chain that took over the closed Oreck locations in the area. I live in the Dallas area. Anyway..,they run a lot of ads on tv in the morning during “Good Morning...

    10 Amp Sharp?

    My friend had one of those But it was in a teal color but it had the same labeling. I remember the “library quiet” on the label. It is a very nice sounding machine and also actually is easy to use and the attachments have very impressive suction. I got a later ,Odell from goodwill for one of...

    I am now the proud owner of all 5 of my grandparents’ Electroluxes!

    Passed down through the generations! I have my Paternal Grandmother’s XXX which became my Father’s Sisters after their mother passed away as she always lived with her in the family home. It became her house, she unfortunately passed away at 57 when I was 15 and I asked for the Electrolux! My...

    Let’s try this again: The Electrolux Commemorative Edition

    Detroit dirt bag….I think you missed something The commemorative editions were given to the sales reps. And Electrolux had one made for each rep with their name on it. Some reps have passed away or otherwise aren’t interested in the machines and therefore are starting to get passed along. There...

    Panel/console lights on ranges/ovens/washer/dryer

    That stove… Is likely better than our damn $5500 wolf gas range. I HATE the burners on the wolf. 5 of the 6 are huge and the 6th is small and in the back left corner. I need another small one in front for small pots of sauces that need to be constantly stirred. Doing that on the back burner is...

    for anyone on here who collects coffee machines

    Yep Waaaay too much waste goes on. I have a friend and she likes to change things periodically but keep a very tidy house and just stuffs the unwantables right in the trash. I finally offered to take some of the stuff to goodwill for her…I said it’s a shame to just put it in a landfill…it’s...

    Would you buy and live in an original and maybe even period-furnished 1968 home?

    Yes… Things are going for amazing pricing here, no doubt. I am in same boat with you. Just lost my Dad last year two weeks before his 85th. Mom remains in the house the bought brand new in 1966. They did redecorate though…my Mom likes to change things periodically. Usually every 5 to 10 years...

His clients were very happy with how he represented...

    for anyone on here who collects coffee machines

    Texas Kirby guy…. I’m in Dallas but the “town dump gift shop” I mention is in Chatham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. My parents bought a house there in 1990 and I enjoy going there every year for my summer vacation. Recently lost my Dad and so this past summer I drove my Mom up to the house from...

    I just became a proud papa, again

    I had one of these Mine did not have the cordwinder…just the manual plug in cord. I got it from an estate sale down the street from me. It had a plastic hose and nothing else but they threw in some other brand wands and a Eureka nozzle they had thrown into the dumpster in back of the house for...

    Aerus guardian power issue

    Wands You can send me an email letting me know how much you want for the wands. I have a Lux Legacy and the two wands are a bit short for me and I have some big rooms in my house and having an additional wand to add to the two would likely help make vacuuming with this model a bit faster. Jon

    More images of my NIB teal Electrolux model L

    It’s been a long time Since I remember Mom’s being brand new like this. They tend to be tippy so be careful using it…many get scratched up from toppling over and dented as well. Mom’s fell down a few stairs once denting it. That nice unscratched power nozzle cover is fantastic too. So many are...
