    Powerhead Evolution?

    I think the Electrolux/Aerus power nozzle is somewhat underappreciated. While it's not as good as the EBK360 on my central vacuum I still think it performs well. When my girlfriend's Dyson was in for service I let her borrow the Lux Legacy I have as a spare. You wouldn't believe the amount of...

    Looking at Tri-Star Replacement

    If you are looking for a strong and dependable vacuum cleaner that will last for around 30 years then you may want to take a look at the Aerus (formerly Electrolux) Legacy canister. My grandmother bought one in 1996 and I still have it. It has shown no signs of weakening. It is plastic but...

    Help With Central Vac Hose

    I bent the metal contacts on the circuit board back into place. I'm just not sure how to connect the wire back onto the metal contact ring.

    Help With Central Vac Hose

    While I was cleaning today the power nozzle kept shutting off and I would have to swivel the hose to get it to come back on. Eventually it wouldn't come on anymore. I thought the contacts might be dirty but when I opened up the handle it seemed like there was a bigger problem. Can anyone here...

    Hard decision

    If you or anyone in your family has allergies then I would highly recommend that you go forward with installing a central vacuum. It is the only vacuum that can offer you zero emissions if vented outside. Just make sure that you stay away from air-driven tools (incredibly loud and do an...

    Ultra Soft Carpet

    Hi Panofan, I'm pretty sure it's just the standard EBK360. This is kit that I got http://www.vacdepot.com/attachment-sets/power-brush-kits/aspria-cva360d-souvern-deluxe-attachment-kit I wonder what the difference would be between my standard EBK360 and the "soft clean" version? Anyway, the...

    Ultra Soft Carpet

    I've had Mohawk Smartstrand installed in my house for over a year now and really like it. When I first got the carpet I was using the Beam Q power nozzle and it was really hard to push on the carpet. I got a new central vacuum kit with the EBK360 power nozzle and it works very well with the...

    WANTED: Electrolux Model G

    Inflation We must account for inflation. Please keep in mind that a new Electrolux Model G most certainly cost more than $600 in 2014 US Dollars. In 1960 (the year the Model G was introduced) a $200 Model G would cost $1,522 in today's dollars.

    New Carpet with Vacuum Limits

    My Carpet Is Similar I had Mohawk Smarstrand (the fiber is called Triexta and is manufactured by Dupont) carpet installed throughout my house back in March. At the same time I also purchased a new Wessel-Werk EBK360 central vacuum kit to replace the Beam Q attachment kit (I hated the bulky...

    Can My Steam Mop Be Repaired?

    I have an Oreck steam mop that is less than a year old. Today when I went to remove the floor head from the steam unit it didn't separate like it should and a piece of the steam unit was left stuck in the floor head. I'll let the pictures give your a better idea of what happened. If if it can...

    Electrolux Trade In Value?

    Thank you luxman107. I'm planning on going to the Orlando location this week. I went to the Daytona Beach location and I wasn't impressed with the sales representative. I first asked him to look over the machine and tell me what condition it is in. He said it was fine except it needed a new...

    Electrolux Trade In Value?

    Hi everyone. Lately I've decided to take over my sister's vacation home. I'll be renting it out and assuming most responsibility for it since she's likely only to visit about twice per year. I have a central vacuum in my own house so I can't take it over to clean the vacation house when...

    Do Dyson's Really Rip Up Carpet? Or Is It Just The Underwhelming Quality Carpets These Days?

    I purchased my home brand new in 2009. The builder put very nice tile in the house but unfortunately didn't use the same quality for the carpet. The first time I vacuumed the dirt bin on the central vacuum was pretty much completely filled with carpet fiber. I wrote it off to being cheap...

    Electrolux Power Nozzle Elbow Break

    I have the same power nozzle attachment kit for my Beam central vacuum. I have had to replace the telescoping wand due to the locking mechanism failing. I don't know a lot about vacuums so I did a couple of searches on this website to see what everyone thought the best power nozzle is. I'm...

    Rainbow Demo. Will I really get the gift?

    Ok, well this is what happened. The salesman arrived on time and I invited him in. He gave me me the brochure and voucher for the 3 day trip. Yes, I did get the gift but you all should see the terms and conditions! I've never seen anything like it. Oh yeah, there is also a $50 nonrefundable...

    Rainbow Demo. Will I really get the gift?

    Hi everyone. I wouldn't call myself a vacuum enthusiast but growing up that job was always passed off onto me. So I at least know my way around one well enough. Last weekend I was at the Daytona Beach boat show with my girlfriend. There were some other non boat vendors there as well. While...
