Sharks Never been a fan of dirt Devil…bordering on plastijunk. Sharks are relatively quiet and I’ve been impressed wi th the quality. However, with so many models made for different retailers choosing one irequires some detail and comparison. I’ve found the ones sold to Costco are more full...

Aerus and Shark While some may frown at a portion of my response…it is with a budget in mind. Aerus if one wants to spend a decent amount of money on a quality machine. Shark for a quality machine in a much lower price range. It’s about the best quality I’ve found in the $100- $300 range...

The pigtail cord on my Electrolux hose has lost a prong. I want to replace the male plug end of the cord with a new one. I don’t know what the name of this type of plug is that has the two small round prongs that are used here and pretty much universally used on most canister vacuums so that I...

It could be a function of fit Canister vacs will fit in a trash can while uprights are clunky to fit in a trash can and may be why we see so few canisters on the curbs side from their less popularity. Jon

Ive had some luck on…. Hescoinc.com Ebay Ezvacuum.com Jon

Donate and they will find a home. While yes you are trying to pass these along to fellow collectors…if no takers come up…donating to the thrift stores is always a better option than the trash. They have the venue to market the machines and hopefully someone interested will put them to use in a...

Is donating working machines an option? I can’t help but see you are throwing away machines. Not sure if you have a Goodwill or Salvation Army or other thrift stores nearby. Often they will take working items even if they are old. I never see vacuums sitting around in thrift shops too long…they...

All claimed All machines posted here have been spoken for via some Facebook vacuum and Electrolux groups and so I am officially closing this thread. Jon

Nice The sharp upright was a wonderful upright! Very quiet very durable. Enjoy. And to Panasonic vacs…you say the Proteam/Aerus Electrolux upright doesn’t have a height adjustment…that is incorrect. It does, it is automatic and resets on every backstroke. On low pile carpet it stays down but...

Kirbylux77 Aerus has discontinued a lot of part for older machine as of 2021. I was told this by not just a decent dealer who was all for fixing something I needed. He even was very nice and gave me a workaround that resulted in no sale for him on more than one occasion. I appreciated his help...

Update The Blue Electrolux 1205 is still available if anyone is interested. Also posting lots of other free Electrolux stuff on the Electrolux vacuum groups on Facebook. The XXX, Brown 1453 and Gold 1205 are spoken for. Jon

Too soon I spent a lot of time on this site some years ago. He always had nice things to add to various threads. His wealth of knowledge and kindness will surely be missed. Jon

I don’t think so but You may wish to contact Bryan Satterwhite at RVA vacuums in Richmond, VA. He is an Aerus dealer and restores old Electrolux machines. If anyone would know it would be him. He may have a workaround option for you as well. Jon

Fun and interesting I looked closely at the dual purpose rug and floor tool. It’s shape is more squared on the rug side and the elbow piece originally had a different style of fastening system to attach and detach from the nozzle. A big square button in the center versus the dual side buttons...

Been to many…rare luck though Been to many estate sales. Only found an Electrolux model LX at one one time that I did buy. It had a plastic replacement hose and nothing else…no attachments sadly. I ended up giving it away to someone I shouldn’t have but that’s ok. I enjoyed it for a bit to...

Additional info These are also cross posted on 3 facebook groups. Thank You, Jon

I have the following machines up for grabs just pay shipping… Electrolux Gold Model 1205 with PN2 power nozzle and power wand. Hose is bad so not including unless you really want it. Motor and cordwinder in great shape, no bearing noise. Electrolux Blue Model 1205. Top handle is missing but...

Hmm That’s a good idea dysonman1. I did order new belts and they have arrived. Now I just need to find the time to fiddle with it. Jon

I purchased an Aerus Lux upright but it is clogged. This one has the attached hose and the dirt has to travel through it. The hose is clear as when I pull the hose out as if I’m going to use it the vac works fine…as soon as I reinsert the hose it is clogged. I shined a flashlight down the hole...

Yes and thank you There is no grinding at all and it doesn’t take much resistance to stop the brush. I can stop it with my hand. Generally the vac is in great shape. The filters are clean and nothing else is broken or abused and our neighbors really keep their house and things very nice. I’ll...
