    Lux 9000 Guardian C134F Help Please...

    I just picked up a VERY used Aerus Electrolux Guardian 9000, model C134F, and it needs rather a lot of work. Chiefly, a new cord winder and foot pedal. I need to ask those of you with experience with these newer Lux machines is this repair fairly easy or will I need to take it to the local...

    RARE American Lincoln Super Sweep flea market score!

    Here is my Super Sweep... I just wanted to share a picture of my new Super Sweep, aka 'The Green Goddess', I bought from Adam Michael Mercer. Just got it on Friday. Added a new green Open-Top bag, mounted on a Heritage II Mini Emtor and a new black cord. You can tell she has seen a lot of use...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 3

    I love the look of the Guardian Platinum and it sounds great. I'll be putting it on my 'wish list' for sure. Will have to start saving my pennies so I can buy myself one for my birthday. Justin

    The Kirby's Invade....

    Nice!!! Mike and Evan, That's a beautiful collection you have there. Watch out, Kirbys tend to multiply and that eleven can easily turn into twenty-two over night and before you know it the house is full of them. This has happened to me...and I love it. Best wishes, Justin and my many, many Kirbys

    What Would You Have Bought?

    That's a tough question... I was born in the summer of 1972. I would have had a very tough choice between a Kirby Omega and a top of the line Eureka Box-Top upright. I think I'd have bought both...I just can't choose between two wonderful, powerful machines.

    Some More Vacuums For Sale

    ComVac How much are you asking for the Kirby Comvac? I'm sure it's well out of my price range, but I just have to ask. Maybe I can save a bit after the first payment on my new car. Justin ps. Drooling over the Comvac... I'm so envious.

    Kirby Sanitronic 7 Handel Trouble

    Is there a reason that you don't want to just replace the upper part of the handle? You do know that the whole handle unit is three seperate pieces. Check ebay, you should be able to find the handle grip with cord hook fairly easily.

    OMG! Way over the Rainbow......

    I think I paid $65 got my D3 at a thrift store three years ago or so. Since it worked really well and I just needed to replace the hose, brush roll and belt... oh, yeah. I did have to order all of the attachments and a tool caddy. But, still. I think I got a good deal.

    Brand New never used Frankenlux

    I think this is a case of someone who thinks mom's old vacuum is worth a fortune due to it's being old. I sent the seller an email telling them that it's just not worth that much money. It's not in it's original box, lacks it's original paper work... and oh, yeah... it has a broken wheel. I bet...

    Electrolux model 1205

    Clearly jd1234 only wants to make 'bank' and does not care about anything else. He does not understand anything about value verses worth. Since he can't get a boat load of money for his 1205 he is going to take his anger out on the vacuum. That's just sad. I hate to see a good vintage vacuum...

    HAZEL - 1961-66 tv show pilot...featuring Kirby?

    As I recall the early Eurekas had the exhaust horn on the left side (opposite of Kirby and Royal) and bags went across the front of the handle. I think there was a hook on the front of the fan housing so the botton far edge of the bag could be connected to hold the bag in place. I had an older...

    G4

    Tyled, One thing that some first-time G Series users may not know about is that you must ALWAYS switch the Tech Drive pedal, on the rear of the cleaner and below the power switch, into "N" for Neutral before you turn-off the cleaner. If you leave the cleaner in "D" for Drive when the cleaner is...
