Just got this Lux Epic for $40 at the thrift shop. It runs very smooth and is in great shape!I have been searching for one of these for about a year.

I used to have one of those but got rid of it, it had some kind of bad motor, and have been searching for a nice used one to. Great find though!

I once owned one of those too. I really liked it but had problems with the power nozzle's reliability. So I converted it over to a metal wand set up. I eventually gave it away to a friend who needed a vacuum cleaner for her upstairs area. It's still going strong! I really liked that vacuum.

I does look well taken care of. Ive been looking for one for about 5 years now and the ones I have seen had been no less than 100 bucks, and were pretty beat up. Good luck with it!

Great find there and a great vacuum I am sure! I just wish that it had the standard wands and hose nozzle.

Great buy and very good vacuum!!

That is a wonderful buy and should do a great job cleaning. Not quite as reliable as earlier Luxes but still quite dependable. Nice find!

That is a wonderful machine! I had the exact same 6500, in which i completely rebuilt the motor and it ran perfect for many years. My housekeeper really loved that machine. Its so simple and straight forward to use, you really can screw anything up. I had the entire light gray Electrolux line for a while, the 3500 upright, 6500 canister, and Renaissance. I traded my 6500 and Renny for a Miele Red Velvet which was a fabulous machine. I found a beige and blue Epic 6000 in the trash in wonderful condition and with a new vinyl hose. The only problem with it was the hose was clogged and it needed some cleaning up. I changed the head light and put in the newest style brush roll and it runs fabulous. I liked the plastic wand system of the 6500, its very easy to manuever, however the traditional wand set up it much lighter and I find easier to use. Just pull the hose out of the PN wand sheath and put it into the bare floor chrome wands and you are set to tackle any bare floor / above floor need with ease. If only these machines had a bit more suction power, then they would really give Miele a run for their money. You just cant beat the simplicity, ease of use, and dependibility of these Electrolux's!

I want one of those....I used to use upright and a few years ago got a canister. I can't stand using upright vacuums anymore since using the canisters. These look like they would be super easy to use and very durable.
