This same power nozzle is used on many newer Electrolux canisters. I purchased mine ( Electrolux Oxygen 3 Ultra model 7020B ) for $540 with the electric powered hand tool ( optional at the time ), and it has had very light use and sits in a spare closet with my suits and dress shirts where nothing rests against it. I have probably used this Electrolux twenty times since I have other cleaners. I mainly bought this vacuum to reach under beds at the time, but probably will not use to reach under furniture after I replace the elbow.

.......as it did not take much stress to cause this elbow to break. It was carefully lowered to reach under furniture without force, and stored with the telescoping wand lowered attached to the hose. I think it is best to unatach the hose and store the power nozzle and wand in a full upright position without any forward lean on the wand and elbow to prevent a fracture. Hope this helps others. :)

Guess super glue and duct tape are out of the question? :) That sucks. Hope you get it fixed easily and quickly. |

I work at a Tuesday Morning store and we got a few of those in a couple of years ago. About one in three came back within a few weeks, similarly damaged. Per corporate policy, we refunded the customers' money and pitched them into the dumpster. The only part on my Electrolux 1205 that has broken is the handle at the wand end of the hose. Guess what? It's plastic--just about the only plastic on the whole machine. I've got it held together with nylon cable ties until the replacement I ordered on eBay arrives. Vacuum cleaners should be made out of metal.
