<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">I can't advise as to the problems of the Renaissance (I'm merely a user and admirer), but its definitely the one later model Electrolux that I'd love to have in the collection. It stands out like nothing since the late 60's...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">Unfortunately I'm not in a position to get it, but it makes me wonder why such an add-on was/is rare. I assume the XXX was a huge seller, and a lot of them remained in use throughout the runs of the subsequent cleaners, so you...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">This one cost me a little more than I usually pay for machines, since it was an Ebay find imported from the States, but well worth it for such a well-preserved specimen. Still runs perfectly as well, and there's no reason, as said...

Just for show-and-tell's sake <span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">Here's a picture of my bronze G. The body is in absolutely beautiful condition, with no dents and very few scratches. The hose, while cosmetically good, has very little suction and is never used...

'Tis the performance as well <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Whenever I use a later model Electrolux, I'm always thinking "Why is this machine expending so much noise and energy and heat to do a relatively simple job?" I really believe the Gs and...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">I have a real soft spot for the bronze G. It could be because its relatively rare, or because of that gorgeous brown/cream/silver color combination, or because its the end of an era, I'm not sure. I do know its possibly my favorite...

<span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">I never have a daily vacuum; all of them get used regularly in rotation. Today, I used 3: 2100 SE for bare floors and dusting, Discovery III for carpets, and Epic 6500 with Sidekick for sofas. I have on occasion used up to 6...

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I'm not a repair person, but based on people I've seen and heard, they just don't care about vacuums or know anything about them, and for them, that's just dandy. If something doesn't work they'll just trash it and...

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">When I saw the thread title, I thought you meant a hose for the Electrolux Oxygen vacuum. </span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I like proper descriptions...

Nothing Sucks Like an Electrolux <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Exactly. Is your hose a genuine Electrolux? It appears to be, but I don't see the logo on the handle, and I don't recall them making one with an on/off switch (Actually, I'd rather...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Impressive indeed. Being solely an Electrolux user, I find they do tend to maintain their high suction and airflow as the bag fills up. Of course there are exceptions when suction drops dramatically, but overall, for pure...

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Nothing like silver and black to take you back to old times. I can imagine when that came out, people who had never seen a Constellation before must have said  "Holy etc. etc.!"</span>

Slightly Closer View <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Not sure why, but the hoses on these models are a noticeably different color than any part of the machine, but they still more or less match. The charcoal gray model could have used a bit more...

Some Brotherly Companionship Pictures <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">These brothers have a love of dirt of <span style="font-size: x-large;">EPIC</span> proportions.</span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif...

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Thanks for that info, Steven. The '90's/'00's are hazy for me, for some reason </span>   <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">My white Epic was used by my aunt from...

Something I forgot <span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">If the machine "seems" particularly dirty, I'll spray the entire surface with Lysol disinfectant and let it sit overnight before attempting any of the other steps. Also, and this is something I...

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">To tell the truth, the plastic ones are my favorites to clean, because there's a lot of flat surface area; no lumps, protrusions, frills, etc, like on the old metal ones. With those, I have a 6 step process: detergent, magic eraser on...

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">I'm in love with the Purepower hose Its a pity that some of the older ones weren't durable enough to last.</span>

<span style="font-family: tahoma,arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;">I do like those classic shampooer/polishers. I have the green one, but it still needs a bit of attention as I haven't found a lasting fix to keep the brushes in. I like the automatic cord winder (which they seem to...

After Treatment <span style="font-family: verdana,geneva; font-size: medium;">Provided the machine was properly used over its lifetime, I find the plastic (or whatever its called) on these later Electroli holds up well, and they really gleam when well-cleaned. One of the best pleasures in life...
