    Electrolux Oxygen Ultra

    These are all rebadged Eureka’s I despise these Electrolux’s they confused people horribly as Eureka wanted to sell their Electrolux line in the US so they bought the name back from the US Electrolux. US Electrolux, now Aerus suffered horribly and still is by the renaming. Most people still...

    Trash vacs

    Most people Got new vacuums during the first few months of the pandemic. Everyone used the stay in time to clean out closets and deep clean their homes and I saw a LOT of vacs on the trash them as I would go walking daily for miles because I just HAD to get out of the house. So…consequently the...

    Did the Electrolux 1205 come with sound deadening?

    Interesting About the 1205 nomenclature. I actually wouldn’t doubt that. As the Super J has a higher number. Th 1453 was after the L and 1205 too. Hmm. On the sound deadening ….the 1205’s did not have sound deadening per se but the design was substantially different to the point that it helps...

    Saturday Evening Special:The Electrolux Ultralux Classic

    Very unusual detail I’m noticing…. The bumper on the power nozzle matches the cover. Usually one or the other is the contrasting color. The Ultralux Classic I bought used from someone had the beige colored top and blue bumper on the power nozzle. You NEED to start a museum with your...

    The Electrolux Model G Custom Rebuilt Canister

    Nice G That came out beautiful! I’ve painted my G high gloss metallic blue and you may have seen it in past pics I posted on an earlier thread regarding the model G. It looks nice too. Funny just this week, after pondering for a long time possibly getting a Miele because they are so quiet…I...

    Electrotag/Maylux

    I guess it’s a quality thing. That we would both like the same things. There’s just no substitute for the quality of either of these products. Jon

    Electrotag/Maylux

    Are you me? Me too!!!! Multiple Newton built Maytags in the family and everyone e with one also has…you guessed it…an Electrolux…if not more than one! Two of quite possible the best longest lasting appliances in the world. Funny though…one of our blue model L’s is in the basement next to...

    Need fans and fan housings for early 'lux Silverado motor

    AE fans are different I’m pretty sure the fans and fan hosuings are different on the AE than the Silverado. I had to replace the fans on a model S some years ago and they were different than on the 1205 and model L and later models. I do have a Silverado that needs a motor so if I can’t fix...

    Road Salt

    I don’t recommend A fine coat8 g of the slat will likely come off and cost the metal parts and cause some corrosion eventually. If you have to vacuum up salt…I’d use a cheap plastic vacuum..perhaps a trash rescue model. Jon

    Electrolux Grand Marquis

    Haha! Love the slogans! “Wouldn’t you really rather have a Buick!” Surely this slogan could apply to Electrolux as well. So easy to use and easy to convert from a rug and floor machine to use the attachments. The see no dirt, smell no dirt, touch no dirt disposable dust bags make emptying the...

    Favorite Color On A Vacuum

    I always liked… When Electrolux introduced the Super J. It was at the height of the 70s glam era where harvest gold and gold decor was in and the coloring coincided with Golden anniversary of Electrolux. How fitting and fabulous! The metallic gold was really a beautiful machine I thought when...

    Will 'lux plastic and metal wands interchange?

    Plastic wands I have had the plastic wands by shop vac with the ribs on them and the plastic wands Electrolux provided with the earlier discovery style uprights. I do find the Electrolux ones are thicker and sturdier but nothing beats the metal ones they made. Ultimately if one wants light...

    Bare floor friendly vacuums

    Vintage Trivac Electrolux made the Trivac. An Electric Broom style vac. The nozzle was ok with wheels but it can be removed and a flip over combination rug and floor took by Electrolux can also be used. This way nothing but the bristles will touch the floor and emptying is easy with the...

    Dirt Devil Broom Vac (thrift store find)

    I had one Found on someone’s trash. I felt the switch could Have been a better design that could have been foot operated and while the telescopic handle was nice especially when one needs to take a vac in the car and has a tight space…I always felt there were some definite design flaws with it...

    First images of my NIB Electrolux model L!

    Nice Nice to have a model L nice and new. This one is a mid run real version because of it still having a PN-1 but it has the second generation electric hose. Also it’s a mid run because of the manual. It was changed later. What year is the copyright on the manual? That should give you an idea...

    I have had many and have a small collection Currently use a Cuisinart K cup machine that was their first generation but had it replaced by Bed Bath and Beyond with an updated one because it kept having issues after a while, the replacement has a stronger pump and doesn’t give me issues...

    Domestic Vacuums in Commercial Settings

    I’ve noticed… Same but in office buildings where there is usually a whole janitorial staff there are the heavier duty commercial machines. They need the long durable cords snd the general durability of the commercial machines and they usually have the ones with ether big magnets on the front...

    Aerus Lux Classic

    How do you like… The rainbows in comparison to the Aerus? I had a chance to get one at Goodwill but it looked very cumbersome to use so I decided not to bother. I had a few friends who had them long ago and they did like them. To me they seemed quite unusual. I also came across a Filter...

    Will 'lux plastic and metal wands interchange?

    Yes provided The plastic wands you have are the typical non electric ones. The Lux Legacy and other models used a plastic wand with electrics in it. That will not work but from your description I do not believe you have that system since you mention the hose handle is male. The genuine metal...
