Charles... I just sent you an e-mail. Have a nice afternoon! -Lane

Go to My daily drivers in the house are a Rainbow E2 "blue" and a Kirby Sentria. It isn't uncommon for me to pull out a vintage Electrolux for general cleaning, though.

Hello! I hope everyone is well. I am moving for work in a few months, and would like to shed some vacuums that I don't really need. I would like to try here first, before I use eBay. I realize these are a dime a dozen, but this is a cosmetically nice Lux XXX. The hose is aftermarket, but...

Thank you! Thanks for linking! I'm going to keep an eye on it.

Hello! I hope 2017 is treating everyone well. I am looking for a good pivot arm assembly (I think it's called, the part that connects the handle to the base) for my Hoover 64 Citation. Mine is very wobbly and the spring mechanism is broken. If anyone has a parts machine from which they would...

Rainbow I do know that Rainbow has added new attachments throughout the run of the current model (Minijet comes to mind) and they also changed the Power nozzle as stated above. Around the same time the Power Nozzle changed, the red indicator light was added next to the hose port.  I could see...

Beautiful F! What a stunning vacuum cleaner. This is one of my favorite vacuum models of all time. That two tone gray and white paint just looks so classy! 

Congratulations Congrats on getting one of your dream accessories! Thanks for sharing, I wouldn't even know about this hoses existence without you posting it! I wonder what the suction would be like at the hose end even if it was perfectly sealed? I imagine it would not be the greatest...

Wheels Good point about the plastic, Charles. The biggest problem is I believe their replacement is a complicated process. While I know how to do many things on vintage Electrolux, replacing those wheels has not even crossed my mind because it seems to be complex. I guess owners with broken...

Bags I will ONLY use HEPA bags in my Electrolux vacuums. In a pinch I will use the older genuine, gray Electrolux bags. Unless you're using something like an LX, model E/AE, or later plastic bodied machines that also have an after filter, the bag is the only source of filtration in the...

Such a beautiful Electrolux! Charles, that is a great story. Perhaps Electrolux's presence in Home Ec rooms contributed to their success in the vacuum market. That beautiful hose really completes that machine. It seems like most of the hoses for models LX/E/E Automatic that I have come across...

Interesting I didn't know that different CAs used different motors. I double checked and mine has a 700 watt motor. It is also noticeably louder than my Gs.

Luxman4u The CA is such an interesting machine. Mine looks decent but I am missing the long hose it would have came with originally. If I had that and extra bags, I would use it more often. However, bags are No Longer Available. I believe these have 735 Watt motors, unlike the 535 watt motors...

Hoses Get on the Aerus website and find their ordering number. I have called to order genuine supplies (including hoses) in the past. Their service is stellar and shipping is super fast. If I remember correctly, the pigtail hose I ordered forms hem was cheaper than the direct connect one for...

Speechless That is such a stunning machine. Congratulations!

That's a very common problem with these In my experiences, the little plastic tab that pushes against the pivot elbow is broken off (and has been on almost every older Kenmore Powermate I have ever used). I believe you can get a new pedal assembly from Sears Partsdirect if you type in the model...

I enjoy both Both are powerful, direct air machines that are great at cleaning carpets. Not that Kirbys are quiet, but I was using a newer commercial Royal a few days ago and I needed ear protection! The sound of newer Kirbys isn't so shrill. I guess it's that 10 amp motor in the Royal that...

Stunning! I just love when a woven hose is airtight. There is something so nostalgic about using them for cleaning. 

Beautiful The machine that Really began a great Vacuum company

Nice Machines! Very nice. Electrolux used to be such an innovative company. While I do like using the newer machines, it seems like they just stopped trying to innovate.
