Well, I took a trip up to visit Tania Voight this weekend. We went on a vacuum crawl to Kewaskum, WI. Nothing of note found since we have pretty well picked the place clean, but had a great time. Here is Buddy, her cat, that loves to get vacuumed. Here he is getting vacuumed with a pristine Electrolux Model G in tan.

Canadian Lux ZB89 Elux-O- Matic
While we didn't pick up much from Kewaskum, I did make a haul from Tania. She had this beautiful green Canadian Lux that she was going to sell, and (in her usual sweet generous style) gave it to me. It is beautiful. Not shown - the very large shag rug tool with LARGE wheels. OK Canadians - I know there was a thread not too long ago about these machines. I have always wanted one (the red 87 is beautiful.) Can I still get a replacement hose from Aerus for this machine? It doesn't have to match. I know I can get pigtail hoses for the US G from Aerus. How about the filters Fred

Rick!
Looking forward to seeing you as well. This convention should be great. I know I keep on saying that I will take a trip back to Southern California (and I will), but there is no reason you can't come here for a visit. The Midwest is beautiful this time of year (and we have some great vintage vacuums to find!) Here is a shot of the brand-new Legend II I picked up in Kewaskum last year Fre PS - Seeing Tania and her collection is worth the trip alone!

Gary I was on Aerus inventory system and the hoses are no longer available, at least the product number we had used. If you have the number or know of a hose available, please let me know!! | ||

Tanya certainly does have a beautiful Model G My question is, how in the world did she get her cat to let her vacuum it? If I tried to vacuum my siamese cat I would lose some fingers or possibly my entire arm! | ||

On the '89 the electrical port for the power nozzile is located on the front of the carrying handle so less likely to get bumped. I'll have to check with Aerus here to see if the hoses are still available as I was thinking of getting one for my '89. I still use the original woven hose and it does have air leakage Gary | ||

They Are Available!
I emailed Aerus about the 89 hose and got the response below Hi Mr. Nelson Thank you for your email below. Yes, we do carr replacement hoses for the 89 model vacuum. Th suggested retail cost is $109.99 plus shipping and handling of $12.95 If you wish to order one please contact me a 1-800-668-0763. Thanks again Donna Iabon Customer Service, Canad Even with the pigtail problem, I still prefer the integrated hose over the cord attached to the outside of the hose. As stated above, the pigtail attaches on the top of the machine at the end of the handle Fred | ||

I am gonna to call Donna at Aerus tomorrow also and order a hose. I went to the Aerus dealer here today and was told the hoses are no longer available. And then the manager said if I wanted to pay $400 he could get me one! Then he made a phone call somewhere (presumably to a regional sales office) to inquire about a hose and was told that they were not available. I also had a feeling that this Aerus office was unscrupulous Gary | ||

Oh oh Gary! Good work! We're gonna want to see pictures of this hose when it arrives, cause even if it's white what a treat it would be to get a few now while we still can. Good price, all things considered and some of us are actually in Canada. :- Using latex treated originals on all my 80 series - all with wrap-a-round cords. Don't have a pigtail one. :- Dave | ||

I forgot to mention that when I was at the Aerus dealer there was an 89 in the showroom for sale....$150. When the sales manager heard I was inquiring about a hose he suggested that I buy the 89 for 'parts'. I don't know if it had a power nozzle as there wasn't one with it...just the hose and rug nozzle I think Gary | ||

OK guys - you should know by now that most of the guys at Aeris dont have a clue what they are talking about. There should be alot of the 89 hoses around if they know where to look - the branches in sask had a couple dozen each when it switched over to Aeris and there is very little call for them (I sold 2 in 10 years between 88 and 98). The only problem is they didnt put the correct pigtale on those. It has a straight plug like on the powerhead instead of the right angle plug. If that is the case when you get it Fred give me a yell. I have a box full of the original green pigtails. I can send you one - they arent too difficult to replace Doug | ||

Doug, do you have, or can you still get, maybe from above-referenced dealer, an original woven hose for the Z-89? I'd love to have a really nice hose for my set | ||
