<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: large;">I know nothing about the other two mini power nozzles you mentioned, but I've been using Sidekicks for years on sofas, car upholstery, and pillows and blankets (where they can and do easily bog down), and have never even had to replace...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Thnx for that info re: the Sidekick. Thought it was around that time, but wasn't sure. I like the earlier model somewhat better than the Sidekick II, but both kick the proverbial ass, cleaning-wise. </span>

Andrew: <span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Why not shoot me an email at duplicimi(at)yahoo.ca and we can talk about it, rather than on this board? I may be able to help (or I may not, but I can try).</span>

<span style="font-family: georgia, palatino; font-size: medium;">Thanks for that pic. I have all of those accessories from other machines, except for the hose (thank God, I might add...hate those short Lux woven hoses). Love those little baby crevice tools too, except they're not as effective as...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Thanks Andrew. Don't forget the matching Discovery III and then you'll have a complete set.</span>

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">You're right about the patience; what surprises me is that the dude suddenly decided to give it away, after only advertising it for a few days. I figured, if anything, the price would drop, but not to $0.</span>   <span...

<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: large;">To tell the truth, gentlemen, I've never experienced anything this yellow...most of the other machines I got came quite clean and bright after an application of disinfectant, detergent, Magic Eraser, and a final shine with Armor-All. I...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">This was posted a few days ago on a local classified site for $75...cylinder + PN + dusting/upholstery tool, yellowed with age, scuffed and dirty, side bumpers stuck on the wrong way...I thought I'd pass. Checked the same site again...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">They're really coming out of the woodwork. Don't think I've ever seen a Discovery Plus before, but I'm pretty sure that those little metal bars on the bottom of the brush rolls changed to plastic around 1989-90ish, when the...

Rugsucker: <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">Would be interesting to see a picture of this Cambridge model, if you happen to have one.</span>   <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms,geneva; font-size: medium;">For all you Electrolux "Uprightians", I managed...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Of course, there were also the various Prolux models, and, if memory serves, a matching upright for the wine and gray 2100 Special Edition cylinder. </span>   <span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">Somewhere in between the Discovery III and the Genesis, or perhaps concurrent with the Genesis, was one called "Regency Series", in the same white and blue trim as the Genesis + the Diplomat and Ambassador cylinders.</span>  ...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">Looks quite similar to the Aerus dealership near me; the new models are right in front of you when you enter, and not a lot of space anywhere else. As far as I can remember, there aren't even any chairs to sit on.The windows in...

<span style="font-family: Garamond,serif; font-size: large;">As noted above, Aerus really doesn't have much choice, because most North Americans would be confused by the name(s). Perhaps it could have a few samples of Electrolux models (as above) and a couple of Aerus and (older) Electrolux...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Its probably a case of "one person's noise is another person's gentle breeze", etc. I ran it without the filter; didn't make a hell of a lot of difference to the sound. In any event, I've used this machine every day, for every task...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Another part of the problem with the noise, at least on mine, is that the HEPA filter vibrates and adds another dimension of whine to the sound. Not sure if this is common to all Aerus/Electrolux machines with the box filter or not...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Those are really interesting looking machines, particularly the one with the swiveling bare floor head. Love that color scheme too...is it dark green, or is there something wrong with my monitor, or is my color blindness revealing...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">I think Aerus made a bit of a mistake when they eliminated the Renaissance style body. I don't own Aerus, but if I did, this is what I would have done:</span>   <span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">1...

<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino; font-size: medium;">Hmm...not sure about the HEPA, but they look like they fit on the same as the regular filters. As you say, they might not be suitable for the older motors. When you think about it, with the 4-ply bags + after filter, the filtration...

<span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino; font-size: medium;">As far as I know, the regular after filter kit should work on any of the uprights, except for the few models that have front-loading filters. Seems as if the only colors available are blue and gray, though.</span>
