I recommend…
Getting yourself the OEM vinyl hose over generic. The handle is how to tell. The OEM handles have the round knob to open and close for suction vent the generics are different. Used OEM vinyl ones pop up on ebay periodically.
On the power nozzle, check the throat. It’s a flexible rubber and usually cracks or rips near where it ends close to the power brush and flexing causes a suction leak.
The PN4A is good but an L shaped will provide better cleaning results but it’s nice to have the original set. The L shaped PN5 was introduced during the Silverado run.
If you replace the hose with another OEM but vinyl one, keep the handle from the old one, they fit the vinyl ones too. I know how to safely take them off with no damage, a specific process. It’s good to keep an extra in case a part fails inside the handle as the parts are pricey from Aerus.
As far as the front handle goes…most Silverado’s had that setup you have but some were made with the other setup for a while. They did the same thing on the Olympia’s. So both styles are original, they just made a change for some reason. Personally I like the one like you have as mine is the same and easy to use.
You may wish to get the crevice tool, combination rug and floor tool, the 2 accessory wands, and a combination dusting brush upholstery tool and a “sidekick” mini power nozzle for a complete set.
The Silverado deluxe is one of Electrolux’s best machines and popular among enthusiasts and collectors.
