I like the old beasts. Built like a tank, and about as heavy as one, too. Does a nice job on my medium-pile carpet. Not too loud, not too shrill. My only real complaint is that the cord's too short. Would be nice if it had a headlight too, but not a big deal without it. |

Anyone have any pictures of what we're talking about? I assume it's the original Lux upright? Not the ones like they still sell? |

I'm confuzzled too - I know we don't mean the Trivac portable stickvac, I'm thinkin'...
Do you mean a beast like this, Hans? Takes the Electrolux 'U' bag that is about 1.5X larger than the 'C' bag for cylinders? I see these in thrift stores frequently but usually bashed up and a more - or less - domestic version. This one is Industrial Grade and quite powerful for an upright. Does a splendid job on the low pile carpets. Pulls 42" through the hose, which is of course fully directed to the brushroll in upright mode with the hose flap closed. |

A lightweight, upright, top-loading vacuum cleaner wherein a seal between the disk of a filter bag and a duct for conveying dirt-laden air to the bag is provided adjacent the outer peripheral edges of the disk resulting in the disk becoming an integral part of the seal while eliminating pressure...

Bill's link above has several pictures that show the 1451 in detail. Mine is the 1363. I've always wondered, can anyone tell me the differences between that and the 1451? |

Go to my photo album, look at pics of lux 4000 and you will see the one with the on board hose. It also has a regular electric hose for the sidekick that plugs in direct. You take off the on board hose and replace it with the power hose.
The port has built in electrical contacts. These machines were discontinued because they were prone to stopping up in the attached wand when used to suck up things that should not have been. Robert |

What constitutes a machine being called "Heavy Duty"--like the 1363, 1451, and 1451E? What are the main differences of a residential vacuum cleaner and a commercial one? |
