 Just finished rejuvenating this model XXX. Bought it at a garage sale for $25.00. Put about $30.00 into parts (new handle and floor brush) and a lot of time cleaning and polishing. Inside it has a 1949 date of manufacture. She purrs like brand new. How many machines made today would sound like new after 65 years?

In your first picture and description you said you bought a floor brush. Do you mean the horsehair brush? and if so did you buy a horsehair replacement for the aluminum body? Bill, | ||

I do not..... use a paper liner. I like to empty the cloth bag at least once a week. With a dog and a cat in the house in NY, the bag gets full quickly. In Florida I don't empty as often but prefer just the cloth bag there as well.
If you can find the paper liners, they are kind of a generic tank cleaner bag. Haven't seen them in years, though.
Also, I bought a new floor brush on Ebay. It was complete and I just swapped it out for the old one which was in pretty bad shape.
Love that Lux! | ||

Since I started using my XXX more, I took a style c Electrolux bag, took the cardboard top off and removed the rubber gasket around the clean XXX bag. After fitting the C bag in it, I put the gasket back around it and put it in the machine. Granted it does make the door a little more difficult to put back on, but it works great for me!

XXX question Will any like model g non electric hose fit the xxx? I asked cause Essco sells a generic non electric hose that another site lists the g(among others) but not the xxx. I'll save up for two (one to donate where I volunteer at) should that generic hose fit. Also, will a royal pony cloth bag fit the lux xxx? Thanks for your input and nice lux xxxes 2011hoover700

The Electrolux non-electric hose had the same machine-end fitting from the Model XXX to the Epic (1992).
The coupler was changed with the all-new Renaissance in 1993. The Renaissance was the first hose coupler change in 56 years -- not counting the later version of the internally wired electric hose which has little nibs on either side of the coupler to prevent the hose from swiveling at the machine-end (which I really hate). That style of coupler, while still essentially the same, will not fit into machines earlier than the late 1205 because of those locking-nibs.
