Electrolux had two hose options to use a Sidekick with their uprights. There was an electrified hose with a pigtail at the machine end and there was also a conversion kit with which one could add a power cord to a non-powered hose. Both hoses have a soft plastic fitting with a pigtail connector at the machine end. My Genesis LXe came with an electrified hose but no accessories and I later acquired a full toolkit for an Electrolux upright that includes this same hose, SideKick, crevice tool, dusting/upholstery brush and wands, all packaged in a plastic caddy curiously reminiscent of the ones used by Kirby for many years.
I lucked up a NOS conversion kit shortly after rescuing my Discovery II from the curb. Unlike later uprights, the Discovery models didn't come factory wired to support a Sidekick, so the kit includes a trapezoidal adapter that plugs in between the power cord and its normal receptacle on the machine to add an auxiliary switched receptacle for the powered hose. The kit also included a replacement grip end for the hose that has a metal tip, a power cord to run the length of the six-foot hose, and some plastic bands to attach the cord to the hose. I think the cord and bands are the same ones used to attach a cord to a non-electrified hose for early 1205 and Model G vacuum cleaners. And since I have recently encountered a little criticism for making lengthy posts without including images, I have copiously documented all of the above with the photos below: |
