I used to use DVC bags and was also satisfied with their performance. I even managed to get a bunch at a secondhand store for cheap. Then I listened to an Aerus rep who convinced me that the seal on aftermarket brands wasn't as good as the "genuine" ones, so I donated my DVC bags back to the...

Kevin, I like good discussions and appreciate when posters can back up their claims in the process. Furthermore, I didn't think the original poster was looking for nostalgic reasons for choosing between the two cleaners. I'm sorry that my questioning and effort to clarify offended you...

Re: Reply #7 Bud, At one point Aerus stopped making its own bags. I don't know if it began in 1994 with the Iota bags or after. Home Care Industries, Inc. of La Crosse, VA manufactured its Germ Grabber brand beginning in 1998 and the later Sure Thing brand. SourceOne Plus, Inc. of Crystal...

"After the Super J, the models definitely were sacrificial to the next one down the pike in very short order and not really evolving to anything near the quality of the G." "As far as the G being made to a price point....to some small degree, you could probably say that about any vac from the...

While I have a soft spot for the Model G--aqua or tan--I'd have to say a Convertible would likely outperform it (depending on its condition). Contrary to collectors' sentiment, the Model G is not the best tank cleaner Electrolux Corporation ever made; but one of the best. I read some...

BrightStar Does anyone have information on the Electrolux BrightStar ... was it sold prior to or after the Little Pro? Does it use the same type of batteries as the Little Pro? The "star" leads me to think it may have been a TriStar product. Features: For quick cleanups, rely on the...

After reading the information below, I am now wondering if Aerus uprights have been made by ProTeam since 2003 when it outsourced its Lux Guardian, Lux Legacy, and Lux Classic to Eureka/AB Electrolux? The Aerus Lux models, without OBTs are almost the same as ProTeam's Cascade series...

Has anyone heard who is now manufacturing Aerus products besides the LGP since AB Electrolux sold Eureka in December 2016 (who'd been manufacturing the standard and economy models since 2003), and Aerus's Bristol, VA plant closed in May 2016 (where Floor Pros and vacuum cleaner attachments had...

I thought this 1.09.2000 article from DALLAS MORNING NEWS was enlightening; maybe you will, too. One thing I didn't realize is that the leveraged buy-out of 1987 did not turn out well, and Sara Lee reacquired Electrolux Corporation in 1989. http://www.eufcc.com/docs/press/electro_1.htm...

Hoover's USA cleaner serial numbers have been date coded since 1987 in the first 4 digits. So 0899 in yours translates to August 1999.

1401, 1401-B, 1505 Motor Ratings The amp ratings listed on the bag doors are (introductions in parentheses): 1401 Super J (Late-1975) & Olympia One (Early-1979): 9.7 amps--with power nozzle 1401-B Olympia One (Late-1979): 9.7 amps--with power nozzle 1505 Olympia One (Early-1982) &...

If you happen to have 800 extra clams laying around you might be interested in using them to purchase a Model XXX with its original carton w/tool packing tray, literature (owner's guide, guarantee slip, pre-war price ad @69.75), original XXX patterned hose, 2 steel wands, rug cleaner, floor...

Wow, that's a beaut--congrats! Since the tag shows "1977", I'd take a hunch that the color scheme is sea blue and oyster white like these Hoover cleaners of the same era (there may be others): U6039 & U6039-030 Dial-A-Matic, U4075 Convertible, U4099 Convertible, U4103 & U4103-001 Convertible...

Great purchase. I believe the only differences between the Lux Legacy U155B & U155C and the Lux Guardian U147E uprights is the former had 9A motors and the latter had a 10A motor and a HEPA filter. Interestingly, the later Lux Guardian uprights have had 8.5A motors. All have had 35-foot power...

The original power nozzle, model PN-1, had an ivory cover with teal trim (same as the aqua Model G, Model R, ivory Model L, and Model GH with teal trim and wheels). _______ I found a May 1965 Singer newspaper ad with these models (I only copied the regular prices): P-3 Economy Polisher &...

I believe the painted canisters were only offered during the Model G era (through 1968). I've never heard of a teal-painted one, anyway. Here's a link to a thread which includes a pic of the tan painted one: http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?15364 And, sorry, I didn't...

@onetiredmom In case you just read random replies or scrolled to the bottom of this thread, here's a portion of reply 9 by dysonman1 that may be helpful in your understanding of Aerus's pricing: "If a new Aerus Platinum costs $750 at wholesale, the distributor is free to mark it up as high, or...

P.P.S. The CB's full color name was called aquamarine green by Electrolux--I use "aqua", because it's shorter.

P. S. The teal hose is not original to the CB. It was made during the teal-colored 1205 era (1968-74)and teal-colored Model L era (1968-75).

Nice friend ... nice haul! I don't know about the others, but the aqua CB is the first version that was made by The White Mop Wringer Company (acquired by Electrolux Corporation in 1963) from 1965-66 to match the aqua Model G and aqua Model B-8 Floor Polisher/Carpet Beautifier. The painted...
