Recently I've added an UltraLux canister to my collection. I already have the metal version of the LX which was one of the last metal based Electrolux tanks. The plastic UltraLux has some power, it's definitely the most powerful Electrolux I own. For some reason the power nozzle runs when I plug in the canister before I turn on the canister switch. I'm not sure how this can happen unless somebody rewired the canister at some point.

 Those are great vacuums. Some people say the Electrolux power nozzles aren't that great, but I find that particular model to be quite good. It sounds like someone wired the hose leads with the power cord leads on your switch! I once did that on a Tristar. I put it all back together before testing it too. I ended up having to take it apart to fix it. | ||

Hi Kenny,
That was a Machine that Electrolux put out for QVC - I had purchased one for my Mother a number of years ago - It came with two different heads - One was the standard Electrolux Power nozzle to clean the Rugs, and the other was what looked like a power nozzle, but had a Blue Brush roll, and no opening to the power nozzle neck - This nozzle was to work in the rug cleaning powder that came with the package... One of the Nozzles had a blue cover like yours, and the other a Cream cover - But since she tossed it years ago, I can not remember which color was a power nozzle, and which was the Carpet Cleaning nozzle... That is why the machine runs the nozzle without suction - The be able to brush in the powered carpet cleaner... Hope this helps, Dan | ||

Dan,
Thanks for the info. It seems like a strange setup to me. So only the DriClean power nozzle will only work with this model, unless it has the separate cord and handle. Talk about QVC specials, a couple of years I did see an Electrolux “Classic” on QVC. They were demonstrating its ability to pick up sand with the vacuum turned upside down to show no sand would fall out of the bag. Eurekastar - That's what I thought at first. Phillip - The rocker switch was broken and the power nozzle wouldn't run, so I taped the two leads together. I plan on purchasing another switch, soon. | ||

Did the Ultralux come with 2 extra wands & bare floor tool? | ||
