Oreck I found a motor on Ebay reasonably priced. Can anyone tell me from my previous post if a new motor is necessary, or can the shaft be fixed? I do not want to order a new one until I hear from an Oreck expert. Can someone chime in to help me out? Thanks, Tim

The Trouble with My Oreck Today I decided to investigate the problem with my Oreck. It has been making an awful sound and not picking up well. So I took it apart and found the problem was the fan. In the process of taking it apart and trying to get it back together, I stripped the threads on...

Kirby Can you use Kirbys on hardwoods? I don't have much experience with them. To Nathan-Thanks I'll have to check out the Lux on Ebay. To be honest, I have been looking at the little bagless machines at Wal-Mart. Would they suffice as a second cleaner since I have the Lux E as my main cleaner?

I have an Electrolux Model E and an Oreck. My Oreck is on its last leg, but I use the Lux on hardwoods mostly. I am looking for a good upright for quick clean ups that will clean hardwoods and area rugs very well. It can be bagged or bagless, but I would like to have one with tools. Also, I...

My Oreck I took my Oreck apart to clean the fan and the housing today. It was really dirty. After I got it reassembled, it sounds like the fan is hitting the fill tube when I turn it off. It never made that sound before. What could I have done wrong? How can I fix it? Tim

Filter Queen What year is that 31 Filter Queen? Tim

I read on the Consumer Reports website that they were testing a new vacuum from Hoover called the Convertible. Anyone know anything about this? Tim http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/appliances/laundry-and-cleaning/vacuum-cleaners/upright-vacuum-cleaner-ratings/models/overview/99021632.htm

Miele uprights I have a Miele powerhouse upright. It works fairly well on carpet and rugs, but it pretty wimpy on hardwoods. It has great suction, it's quiet, and it is pretty easy to use with the tools. However, the brush roll has beater bars built in it like the newer hoovers. OF course you...

In honor of Air-way.... could some of you owners post some pictures or videos of you using the machines? Tim

Thank you, Charles, for all the pictures of the E. Your work is very nice. How do you find the E in relation to a Super J? noise? suction? I feel that my E may need some motor work? It shouldn't be louder than the Super J should it? Tim

Thanks for the pics. That is a great looking machine. I hope I can make mine look like that. Do you use the one pictured, or do you have several Es that you use? How do you find the suction on this?

Alan, That looks just like the E I'm getting. You are lucky that you are getting tools and a hose. I wish I was. I can't wait to get it and use it. It is so lightweight and quiet. I'm hoping I won't be disappointed with the suction since I am used to a Super J and a Diamond J. I have always...

Hesco *I did a google search for Hesco and found it that way. *I'm from Rome, Rick. *Let me know if any of you have the hose and tools I need. *Thanks for all the info, Charles. Tim

Thanks lux 1521. I went on Hesco's site and found the Lux parts page. They have an "aqua" colored hose to fit it. Would this be the color needed to match my E? I also found a beige colored one on e-bay. The machine itself is blue hammertone. I want it to look nice, but I know it will be hard to...

I found a Lux model E at a vac shop here. He said he would take $5 for it. I plugged it in and it ran just fine. Nice and quiet machine. There is no hose or attachments. Will these be hard to find? Will my super j hose work on it? Did the E come with flip-over tool or two separate tools? I think...

Hoover I got out my Hoover Spin Scrub Steam Vac that I use on area rugs last night. I found the hard floor attachment. It doesn't work very well at drying the floor because there is not a squeeqe to sweep up the water. However, my floors do look cleaner and the water was pretty filthy. I'm...

Has anyone tried a Hoover Floormate, Bissell Flip it, or the Kenmore EVO hard floor cleaners? Are they worth the investment? I have primarily hardwoods on both levels of my house. Just wondering what you all think? Tim

Rebuild? Restore? Nathan, Do you ever restore machines for other people. I have a Super J that I had rebuilt at a vac shop. I works great, but I would like to have it restored. I also have a Diamond J that I might like to work some sort of trade for. Maybe an E or an L. You can email me if you...

Model/Year What year/model did Electrolux stop making the polishers? Is there one for the Golden/Super J? Tim
