Electrolux canisters of that era are tough to beat. Truly my favorite canisters. I don't have an Olympia One, but I have several others—1205 (2), Super J, Silverado Deluxe, Diamond J. That vinyl hose is a definite performance enhancer over the leaky woven ones. I have a relatively early 1205 that my dad picked up off a neighbor's trash pile when I was in high school. I was surprised to find it in their attic when they were packing up to move to a senior living community in 2016. I brought it home, stuck a vinyl hose I had onto it, and possibly for the first time in its existence, connected it up to a power nozzle, thus unleashing its true power. I had originally thought to keep it as a potential parts donor for my other 1205, but I ended up replacing the broken handle and adding it to the operational fleet.

Best bags to use

Per Tom G.'s prior endorsement, I highly recommend the Clean Obsessed HEPA type C bags for this vacuum. I use them in all of my vintage E'lux vacs that will take them. IMHO they are far superior to paper bags. They filter better and can be filled to capacity without losing a noticeable amount of suction. A big plus benefit is that far less dirt will get into your vac's motor, leading to better performance and longer life. For decades I was a genuine bag user, but I find the Clean Obsessed bags to be much better.

Best,

Joel
