    Tristar CS Motor Followup

    Hi Guys, Going to finally re-motor the CS tomorrow with the EXL motor mount. My question is Amps and draw on my breakers in my 1952 home. It looks like the Lamb 119800 around 11.2 amps will be ok to pair with the power nozzle of 1.2 amps. My preference is to stick with Electro Motor as they...

    Tristar CS motor

    Hi Guys, Found a new CS on Marketplace for $60.00 so I bought it. Put the 6500-293/Aerus 45350/Tristar 70204 in it or the Ametek 115293? Personally i like the Ametek and I can get a 70205 EXL motor mount. The Johnson is fine in it and the tank is spotless when you wipe with a white cloth...

    Rainbow SRX Separator Update

    Rainbow PN3 SRX

    Hi, The cover and elbow kit to replace T1078 locking mechanism on the SRX PN3 nozzle is now avail. This update removes the lever lock on the power nozzle and replaces it with the PN12 style of the E2 Black that is less troublesome for those interested. Brian

    Rainbow SRX

    Hey Guys, Figured I would take a few minutes and share some thoughts on the SRX. First its a nice vacuum that needs a bigger motor. Compared to the E2B, the loss in water lift 80 on the E2B and 60 on the SRX is noticeable. I like the quality of the machine, especially the hose connection...

    Lux Platinum Commercial Hose

    Sorry I forgot the 10' hose images. Both are Plastiflex-made and the braided variety is about 12" longer than standard Aerus and both are conical like a Silverado hose was. The faux braided hose is like a Riccar hose with a braided cover over it and has strain reliefs. The accessories are...

    Lux Legacy and Platinum

    Hi, Having lunch with an old friend today who just happened to upgrade a customer from an worn out Riccar into a new Lux Legacy. I was surprised to see a new cord material that was much more flexible and rubber-like than the previous Unicable cords they were using. Also noticed a...

    Aerus Lite/Riccar-Simplicity Combo

    Hi Guys, Interesting to see the Aerus Fresh Era has been replaced with a Tacony 9 pound vacuum and it looks pretty nice. It would have been great to see the metal brush roller assy. but the wood roller is good as well. Definitely a step in the right direction adding the best light weight...

    Hi Guys, A couple weeks ago I pulled out the Platinum for a quick touch up (third use) which was subsequently involved in a crash that left me with a dent in the front cover of the machine. Happened to be playing with the German Shorthair when she came around flying around the corner in the...

    Lux Talk Around the Water Cooler

    Hi All, I was at the fair this morning chewing the fat with some of the lux guys I used to work with. The going rate on the Lux Platinum is $2499.99 and the Fresh Era lightweight upright is running between $800-$900 (just outrageous) though discounted at the fair a bit. It is interesting to...
