I agree about the hose. I'm going to keep it but not use it much at all. I have an assortment of vinyl hoses that I use with all my Lux's.
I love the look of the old woven hoses, but they are just too stiff in my opinion.
Morgan,
I am getting the Perfect C Style Bags from Tom in St. Louis. He got a Perfect Canister Vacuum in the mail and was raving about how great the bags were and how they are much better than the genuine Lux bags. I am not worried at all about them hurting my Lux motors. Actually, I think it will help them. With better filtration, it will keep more dust out of the motor thus preserving them longer. Anyways, Tom ordered me a couple of boxes. I am hoping to have them some time next week.
