Hi Madman. You're right, I do think they cook faster in these small roaster ovens versus a conventional one due to the smaller space needed to heat and also the heating elements are all around and under the food being cooked. This GE model does not seem to have thermostatic control, perhaps...

I came across a GE electric roaster over the weekend that I thought was pretty interesting so I thought I'd share. One of my weekend pleasures is thrift store shopping because you can find some neat items! Someone posted about these roasters over on the automatic washer site and indicated it...

Thanks Tom! That would be great! My zipcode is 23225. Let me know how you would like to make the transaction. If you'd like, feel free to email me the specifics. [email protected] Jason

Hi all. I recently posted about my Air-Way Sanitizor vacuum in the vintage forum, but I need to find some of the metal Air-Way wands. Does anyone have any that they would be willing to sell?

Oops, I thought I posted this is the Super Market forum. Hopefully the moderators can move this.

Hi all. I recently posted about my Air-Way Sanitizor vacuum in the vintage forum, but I need to find some of the metal Air-Way wands. Does anyone have any that they would be willing to sell?

Thanks Jimmy. I do hope I can find the curved aluminum wands as the attachments have a special clip where they appear to attach. I've read in the forums that the aftermarket bags should not be used. Is that true? It doesn't appear that new airway bags are available any longer. There is also what...

Thanks Tom. Was your Mark II a later version since it has the port for plugging in the Rugmaster? Mine doesn't have the port. Also, which side of the machine is the attachment caddy supposed to hang? I've seen different configurations online. The previous owner used a nylon strap to keep the...

Hi all. I came across an Air-Way vacuum yesterday at a local thrift store. I hadn't seen one of these in person before so I wasn't sure at first what it was. It seems like a very well made machine and has great suction. The power cord appears to have been replaced at some point. However, the...

Hi Paul. Yeah, sorry your overall experience wasn't positive at Aerus franchises. Actually, the white cleat didn't bother me after it was installed. I believe the RS was the 8.1A version, but it seemed to have pretty good suction nonetheless. I have heard that suction wasnt the best when the...

Well, the folks in the Aerus store here are generally nice, but are also quick to tell you this or that about your "old" vacuum. They mostly want to sell you a new machine, and I understand that to a degree. They are in business after all to make money. They did have a genuine Aerus cord cleat...

So, I went by the local Aerus store today and picked up a new brushroll, belt and the cord holder. I understood they would be more expensive than online stores when it comes to parts, but I didn't realize brushrolls were $50. I would rather support a local store but that was a lot to swallow...

Edgar, Regarding your switch, I wonder if cleaning the contacts on the switch would allow it to start working again. Than was the issue with the RS I picked up. Cleaning it with a few sprays of Deoxit fixed the switch. Although, yours could be an electrical issue. Did you try replacing the...

Thanks Paul! These are great tips! The wheels actually don;t turn as easily as they should so I'll be sure to oil them..what do you use.. something like 3-in-1 oil or more of a bearing grease? The local Aerus store said they can fit me a cord holder on it, so I'll take it by sometime.

You should be able to find many decent used vacuums for less than $80. If the wand constantly detaches from the hose, I'd send it back to Amazon for a refund and find something else. That shouldn't happen on a new machine. Also, many vacuums have inexpensive bags that can be bought online.

Thanks Jimmy. I tried pushing the plug connector down further into the bulkhead, but it will not seat any further. I did however manage to slide the rubber cord holder further up the vacuum handle. I may call the local Aerus store to see if they have a spare cord hook.

Ah, I see now. Well, I think I will gift this vacuum to my aunt who has several indoor animals. Her Oreck appears to have bit the dust and she was given a loaner Oreck from my parents. I think this Electrolux will clean the carpets better as her house basically has nothing but carpet throughout...

Nice! I have always liked the Electrolux tanks. They clean so well and have a lot of suction!

Thanks Edgar and Paul. So, if I understand correctly, the power cord on my Regency was probably changed at some point? I didn't realize that the plug in cords were not original. I just figured this model and similar era Lux uprights came that way. I saw a few other Regency Series vacs online...

Thanks for all the great information. Luckily, I have never come across any of the uprights with the ponytail cord connection. I recall reading a bad experience by someone on this forum with an Electrolux store regarding the recall and their refusal to honor the free repair. Anyways, as Andy...
