Photos
Joshua here are photos for you I referenced I would send a little earlier.
Also , I recommend only the genuine dusting brush, the generics tend to break. I tried one, it broke. You can get a generic and swap bristles. The swing out legs pins easily break off.
I also included a few photos of my genuine Electrolux Rubber hose so you can closely see the handle design so if you decide to look for a used Genuine rubber one on eBay you know exactly what a genuine handle looks like. If it was made before 2003 it will have the Electrolux name on it as mine does, after that no name but pay particular attention to the suction regulator device. Only the genuine has the round knob on the underside which gets twisted to open or close it and the little vents on each side. I do admit the absence of the switch on the genuine is a slight inconvenience but I think once you have a genuine you will notice a difference in the quality and will make every use of the machine worth the price aside from it lasting much longer than generics. The hose and the handle is the most heavily used part of the vacuum as well, it needs to be good is my opinion.
Most common color of this hose is this one I have in the sandy tan gray, but some are more gray and others could be white or now a dark charcoal, just depends on the color Aerus is choosing to use at the time to manufacture the hoses.
No one will sell new Genuine Aerus Electrolux parts outside of an Aerus Electrolux franchise, all others will be generics such as sold at “vacuum stores that service all makes”.
Hope the photos help you to understand the other tools if you would like them.
Personally, I switch between the power nozzle and the floor brush at the handle so I don’t have to bend down, I keep the power nozzle and it’s wand fully assembled and the floor tool and the accessory wands assembled and so when I want to switch from floor brush to power nozzle I Can just change at the handle and I don’t have to bend down or undo/plug in any wiring. Just depends on what your home is set up with and what your cleaning needs are. Sometimes I do disassemble the floor brush and or the wands and use one wand with the combination brush upholstery tool, but it’s usually just when I’m doing some right dusting in Hard to reach places like behind furniture or the plantation shutters and so on.
Sometimes you can find a grouping of Genuine attachments on eBay for a reasonable price and will include everything you want or more for a decent price, no harm in having extra attachments if it’s a good package deal.
The nice thing is that when you have a complete set you can adapt for any cleaning need. When I first got my Silverado I had mostly carpet in my apartments so rarely used the floor tool, then I moved to a house with a bigger kitchen and bathrooms where I used the floor brush more, then a house with 60/40 Carpet and hard floors, and now I’m finally in a house with 90 percent hardwood and 5 percent tile and 5 percent carpet so the flip over floor brush tool gets used primarily. I was able to adapt by changing tools to each of the homes without having to get a different vacuum cleaner. I love to use my Electrolux to clean out my cars too. There’s even a shampooer tool that works with the Silverado powered by the suction. Aerus sells the special shampoo.
