The armature that fits the model #1205, will it fit any other previous Lux motors?? Vernon

On the later Lux pn 4's, the front rubber bumper has eight slits in it. What is the reason for this?? (in order to move more dirt you have to move more air??, or were they put there in order to make it easier to push across the carpet (preventing the nozzle from sticking itself to the...

Does anyone know if this model of Eureka takes paper bags??, and if it does, what style number?? I've got one that is similar, but has a cloth shake out bag. My knowledge of Eureka products is not all that great. Vernon

Does anyone own one of these?? Opinions: good-bad-indifferent I just bought a used one, sight unseen other than pics. Any comments would be appreciated Vernon

I just picked up a used one, in excellent shape, but on high speed, on low pile carpet that is not glued down, (kinda like a berber style) I find the powerhead just about sticks to the carpet, making it hard to push. It has the SEB 217 powerhead. Is this normal for this powerhead?? The power...

Has anyone seen these newer models??? What is the difference in power nozzles between these two and their bigger siblings the Riccar 1700/Simplicity S36?? Vernon

I've been considering purchasing one of these for some time, but have a few questions that the Hoover experts might be able to answer: 1. Has anyone used a suction and Baird airflow meter to determine the inches of lift and CFM?? 2. What make and model of motor do these have, and are they a...

In regards to the power nozzle on the Perfect Canister, what I'm finding with it compared to the Lux PN5, or any Lux, is that the Perfect is much noisier?? At first I thought there wasn't enough tension on the belt, so I adjusted that, it made it worse. So, back off on the tension. Tried a...

Did electrolux in the US have the hassock/seat chest for storage of the vacuum like we had at one time in Canada?? I've been trying to get more info on them and am coming up short. We had them in Canada, but they have long been discontinued. They were usually a brown leatherette covering on...

Any suggestions for a good replacement brush for pn5, 6 and later Aerus/Lux power nozzles?? I like the current Aerus replacement, but don't like the price. Have tried Cleveland Woods, not bad, but a little stiffer than I'd like. There's one that the brush dowel is plastic, but the bristles are...

I checked with Eureka, no longer available, checked with a few distributors, no generic bags available either. These fit the ancient 900 series models (rotomatic) Are there any substitutes a guy could use instead?? Vernon

First of all, I'm used to my lux which has the rubber in the bag collar, and the rubber gasket on the inlet spout which virtually eliminates any leakage or blow by. Lately I can't resist checking other makes. What I've noticed is that many brands, the pre-motor filter is covered in debris to...

What has anyone used for touch up paint that closely resembles the Silverado color?? Any car paint--make, model?? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Vern

Just picked up a Silverado shipped from the east coast. Right where the cordwinder goes into the body, the unit is starting to rust. Maybe the vac was left in unheated storage?? Anything that a guy can do to get rid of the rusting. I thought maybe painting it with a rust paint, but when you...

How does the suction/airflow compare In regards to suction/airflow on Lux vacuums: Most two stage lux motors pull around 80 inches of lift. Stronger ones upto 86 or so, the weaker ones down to 75. The current motors (single stage) pull 80-84. Now, in regards to airflow, on the baird meter...
