    New Aerus models

    Yes it appears… The upright lime has been changed. The heavy duty model seems to have a rather high head meaning it less under furniture friendly…they seem to be aiming it at commercial users. The Lux lite seems to now be focused towards residential users. It would be better for them to...

    Vacuum Cleaner Diversity

    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...

    What to buy if I want a recent Aerus vacuum

    And… You might even negotiate to have a tool caddy thrown in to sweeten the deal. There are Two types to choose from. The upright one which is a carry caddy and can house the tool from a Lux classic or the wall mount from the centralux which can house the tools from a Lux legacy or platinum...

    What to buy if I want a recent Aerus vacuum

    Correction Djub85 stated the lux classic has no onboard tool storage, this is incorrect. There is onboard tool storage for the combination dusting brush and short crevice tool via clips on the top vent cover. Certainly not as “deluxe” on the legacy with its drop in system, but more along the...

    What to buy if I want a recent Aerus vacuum

    Most reliable would be… The Lux classic over the guardian or Legacy. The Guardian has electronics and the plastic wands which can be a little less reliable than the original style ion the classic. The Lux Legacy also does have a circuit board I believe for its lights on the top panel…they are...

    New Aerus models

    Anyone also notice… The new Aerus logo. Gone is the orange color in favor of blue…similar to the classic blue colors of the model XXX, LX,LXI, E, AE, 1205, Blue L, ultralux, Legacy and some ambassador models? Aerus needs to buy back the rights to the Electrolux name for use in the US since...

    New Aerus models

    Hers why The EU’s hose first off looks like those old braided hoses that were notorious for leaking after 10 years and are stiff…the vinyl ones are a marked improvement. If they went back to the woven hoses too many people that know of those bad hoses would say forget it and not buy. Also that...

    Is this hose end from a Canadian Electrolux?

    That handle Is the non electric hose handle that was used for the canister models starting with the model L and 1205’s in the early 70s and they continued used to use that handle design for numerous years and adapted it with the screw on ribbed fitting for the non electric upright hoses. The...

    Golden J motor issue

    I think… The difference is the 1205{s and Golden Jubilee models have the shorter armature motors and the Super J, Olympia and Siverado’s have the longer armature motors. The Super J was named as such because of the bigger motor with more suction power. The entire body of the Super J is longer...

    My sweet new Electrolux 1205

    There are significant design differences Between the pn 2 and pn 4a. The pn-2 is much harder to push and tends to stick to the carpet because of it’s design the placement of the elbow and the air opening and the rollers all make this to be the case. The entire pn was redesigned for the pn4 and...

    I've looked, so what WERE the first 'lux PN colors?

    Yes.. I have a pn-1 with the full length cord which goes straight to the cleaner…however those clips to clip the cord onto the hose are rare and often break from flexing. I don’t have any anymore and so using the pn without those clips is annoying with the cord flopping around…but it comes in...

    What's up with the motor in my Electrolux 1205?

    This is not the original motor. Originals were all metal construction. This is clearly a later replacement by either Electrolux/Aerus or a generic vacuum store.

    Electrolux Model CB ( Olympia Series) Update

    Oh wow… I’d really be interested in seeing the rug tool that sounds interesting…definitely this has been a treat to see something Electrolux I never knew existed. I love the brown hose too. Is that genuine? Jon

    Teal Electrolux hoses

    If the hoses leak I would be interested in both the handle and machine ends should the hoses be leaky. I have fitting and vinyl hose I use with them to refresh them or should you wish to do so yourself I can give you pointers on how and where to buy the supplies to do so. I think maybe that...

    Electroulx 87 Cord winder

    Yes…. It has been a while since I’ve rewound one of these. First off show me the housing for the cord reel so I can see it better. The older models had some parts that retain the spring. When the spring is wound around the cord reel that is the “wound up” position when the cord is all the way...

    Electrolux Model CB ( Olympia Series) Update

    Oh also…. Can you pick up water with the CB? I would imagine if so one would want to use all plastic or rubber attachments. Jon

    Electrolux Model CB ( Olympia Series) Update

    Wow I’ve never seen those extra wide floor tools. It looks like it’s a nor,al o e with an extra wide rubber bumper. I’d be curious to see the opposing side with the bristle strips and where the screws are. Post a photo of that if you could. Fabulous machine though. Do these have the cyclone...

    Trying to restore my Grandmas Old Electrolux 1205

    You may want to… See if you can find a 1205 on eBay with a dead motor and put your motor into that body. I suspected the motor in yours would be good because of the way these models were sealed from the back end. You have to have a bag in the bag compartment for the machine to run or the bag...
