My dogs constantly bring in grass from the yard so I’m having to clean two sizable rooms daily or at a minimum every other day. Annoyed with pulling out my Electrolux canister or the Shark rocket corded that often. Want something lighter and easier and cordless. Hence thinking some sort of...

Might want to try… A shark with the duo clean. Apparently they do a marvelous job on bare floors because of the two types of rollers and the multi speed options. While not nearly as upscale of a product as the others mentioned above in the thread. It’s just an observation I’ve noticed of people...

Glad to see Someone purchasing and giving a stellar review of the product. While yes the motors are single stage clearly they are powerful. I’m happy with the Lux classic and Lux Legacy both of which were finds Goodwill and Habitat respectively so no doubt your brand new machine is even better...

Interesting reading…. I went on to read the second page of the article and it really shows how they were dedicated to making a quality product and the expense they went through to upgrade the product. I certainly feel better about the cost of those Electrolux’s at the time. This goes to show...

Agree I do agree. Much better to repair so waste is reduced. Throwing away a worn out part is much better than throwing away the entire unit. And the whole concept of “throwing away” something just bugs me…it just gets out somewhere else on this earth, NOT DELETED. If I do have things that need...

Nice Yes it’s nice to at least get one of the two fixed up nicely. If one power nozzle cover is in better condition than the other I’d keep the one that is in better condition for the completed repaired vacuum. You might need to look at the bag switch that could be the problem with the bag...

Well… The Electrolux canister is by far one of my favorites. I grew up with them and consequently there are many among the family. I really love mine, and the combination dusting brush and contourable upholstery tool and the combination rug and floor tool are among my all time favorite vacuum...

Well The space is small enough and again, it shouldn’t be something that’s used for regular cleaning as a crew should have their own supplies and equipment and if it ends up that is what happens and it craps out soon, then I’ll suggest a getting an Aerus or Prolux upright (nearly identical to...

Well… I had thought about that but the building is small…4 low pile carpeted offices about the size of bedrooms and tile in a kitchen and a big great room and a foyer area. Also there will likely be a weekly housekeeper who will be required to bring his/her own vacuum and so this is just in...

My suggestion Any of the square bodied Electrolux beginning with the 1205 and use the charcoal filter inserts you can get for the bag compartment. They only filter correctly on those models the older rounder models have slots all over inside the bag compartment and the charcoal filters won’t...

Hmm Anything is possible…the clear one in my AF just seems newish. When I got the vac it also had a replacement genuine cord with it. On my model G the switch base is black. I may be able to figure out why I’m having intermittent issues with the switch…it seems to be a relatively simple...

Well… With your extensive and jealous worthy collection…you could probably compare motor tone and tell. If it’s got an Olympia era motor it eill sound similar to other Olympia’s and Super J’s and Silverados but if it has the Marquise era motor it will sound much like that Marquise the daughter...

Funny So funny! When I saw my Mom’s Olympia manual in her drawer with other manuals I had to sneak a peek at it and inside was a newspaper clipping of a sale ad from the local Electrolux dealer in Bayonne, NJ where my Aunt who bought the machine lived advertising the Olympia on sale for $399...

Very nice…. I think this is by far my favorite color collection of Electrolux including Aerus with the Golden Jubilee/Super J coming in second and I’m tied on the Silverado and White Aerus series for third. I also like the Marquise coloring and pleased that I have a pristine condition one. I...

Yes The model S while desirable for the convenience of its light weight but also was not power nozzle compatible and that made it less desirable. I know what you mean with the power nozzles. It’s always nice to have one that looks good instead of beat up. That gray metallic paint though is a...

Better colors…. For the Aerus Lux Legacy and Lux Classic. That black and dark gray is so drab and hideous to me. The platinum is now charcoal and white. I don’t need white per se…perhaps two tone peppier grays like the Silverado series had. They seem to have exhausted the coloring scheme...

Thanks for the tip On this store. I live in Dallas and donate stuff to Goodwill and Habitat for a humanity but not of fan of donating to Goodwill so looking for a better place to donate so I’ll give this place a try and always fun to run through these stores to see if there’s any good finds...

Electrolux Olympia wanted I see you have a bunch of Olympia’s (Brown and Cream Automatic Control Electrolux’s.)I have a Silverado delux e but the motor is dead and could pair up a decent Olympia with my Silverado’s hose and attachments if you have one whose motor works well and body is in...

Always… I always LOVED appliances with console lights. We never had any in our hose growing up but my best friends Amon had a GE washer dryer set with them from 1967 and a lady who I delivered papers to and started cleaning for, feeding her cats and much more and we became great friends had a...
