Electrolux PN Question???

I love your dogs in your avatar! I used to work at a vet clinic that dealt with a local Great Dane rescue. I worked in the kennel and would also bathe dogs/cats. I remember this one time a "show" Great Dane was brought in to us for a bath. He was the largest dog I have ever seen!!! He was literally the size of a small horse! Ha Ha! He was too big for the standard kennels and he had to be put in a dog run. For the larger dogs, the clinic had a garden hose hooked up to bathe them in their kennels. I couldn't do that to that Dane, they have soft short hair like my Chihuahua and I couldn't bare to use a high pressure hose nozzle on him! Everybody thought I was nuts because I managed to lift that horse dog into the raised tub! He was so tall that his head hit the very top shelf that held the cat litter pans! I literally had to remove the shelf for him! Thank goodness he was a sweet dog! Also, I had to make him sit down in the tub so I could reach his neck and ears to clean them! Ha Ha! Awesome dogs!!! I'm a huge dog lover!!! My Chihuahua loves going for bicycle rides! My husband put a sturdy metal basket on the front of my bike. His name is "Jager", literally named after "Jagermeister"! He looks like the elk or deer on the bottle! Also, for a short time I had my parents' dog "Brutus" who is a sheltie black lab mix. He looks like a black lab, but is short and has a long snout like a collie with bat ears! When he first came to live with us, he was so afraid of the vacuum! I worked hard to get him use to it, I would never scare him with the vacuum and would always announce what I was doing so he could leave the room if he wanted before I would vacuum. I finally was able to have him sit by it and I would turn it on and praise him for being good! Eventually, he got so use to it that he would let me vacuum him off with the hose and brush everyday! That backfired on me, because then every time I would get the vacuum out he would be tripping over it and standing by it to get vacuumed and then I couldn't vacuum! Silly dog even one time, I was using my upright Bissell shampooer and he would paw at it and strip his teeth at it because he thought it was the vacuum! Dogs are great! :) -Michelle

Checkrate/Likes Hi everyone! I have a power nozzle question that I can't seem to find the answer to. I have a 1205 that my husband bought me off of EBay and it came with every attachment I believe. The PN version I got is an aluminum PN-2. Leading to my question, I want to buy an Olympia One and a "G", can I use my PN-2 for both of those models as well or do I have to purchase the matching PN's for the Olympia One and "G"? I'm not aware if you can use different PN's with different models or if they are not compatible? I was just wanting to buy the canisters for now and down the road purchase the matching attachments. Thank you to all that can help me! :) -Michelle

Checkrate/Likes 1 *PN's* Those PN's are interchangeable, in fact I have a PN2 I use on my 1954 Model E

Checkrate/Likes *bvac6* Thank you for helping me out! I was getting the impression from other posts about the PN's that they can be swapped, but I just wanted to hear it confirmed. Thank you very much! :) -Michelle

Checkrate/Likes 1 All Electrolux PN's for steel wand vacuums are interchangable, that includes the current Aerus Classic. I use a relatively new lighted PN from my metal bodied UltraLux most of the time, but every one of them from the PN-1 to the end all get used. One of the things I love about Electrolux!

Checkrate/Likes *Gr8DaneDad* Thank you for the information and help! I'm quite partial to Electrolux as well! I love when my hobbies have interchangeable parts! Like my stand/electric hand mixers that some share the same bowls and beaters. It's nice to just swap parts around! Thanks again! -Michelle

Checkrate/Likes Michelle, thanks for the lovely words about my babies. Those 2 are my youngest and I have 3 more adults including the mother of those 2. The Mantle (black and white) is Tipper ( Caemlyn V Presidio's Champagne Eclipse), the Merliquin (White with grey spots) is Misty Blue (Caemlyn V Presidio's Sunlit Champagne Mist), their mother is Cristal (AmCH Presisidio's Champagne and Chocolate of Caemlyn), their distant cousin Bunny (G n D Harlewood's Covergirl at Caemlyn) both are Harlequins and a Blue male Ares (Norbriga's God of War at Caemlyn). All but Misty are or were show dogs. Tipper is just starting her show career in August at the Reno Kennel Club show. They are my kids and I love them to pieces. Always happy to see me, never complain that I'm late and one or two of them are with me most of the time. I meet more nice people because of my kids ;-). I need to take a group photo if I can get them all in the same place at once. Tom

Checkrate/Likes *Tom* That's sweet! We're the same way! Our pets and collections are our children. Along with the bicycle rides, we bought him a cat bed to sleep in when we're rebuilding our chainsaws. We couldn't dare have him sleep on the floor in the basement or the garage without something comfy! Ha Ha! Believe it or not, he's a great shop dog! He's been raised with all the sounds of tools! We have "Jager" and 2 parakeets named "Budgie" and "Charlie". On nice mild days here, I hang their cages up on the front porch and they love it! People that see Jager think he's a min pin. He's chocolate with tan German markings. He's a standard Chihuahua and weighs about 8 or 9 pounds. He doesn't look a normal Chihuahua, he doesn't have the big head. He kind of looks like a min pin with a question mark tail and big Chihuahua bug eyes! He's the first little dog I have ever owned! When I moved in with my then boyfriend soon to be husband, he had a Rottweiler named "Zoey". She was a sweet dog! I tried so hard to make her my dog, but she knew that "Sammy" was her owner! So, after we got married a really wanted to have a dog of my own; only ever had dogs that were my parents', never just my very own! So, while I was working at the vet clinic a lot of Chihuahuas started boarding there and I kind of liked their personalities! I was going to get a German Shepherd but our house is only like 750-800 sq. ft. not too big for 2 larger dogs, so I decided to get a Chihuahua. It was always cool to see how many stares and comments I would get when I would walk my Rottweiler and Chihuahua together! Zoey was very sweet and friendly towards Jager and they never fought. Sadly we had to put her to sleep a few years ago. We miss her terribly, but only time will heal. -Michelle
