My First US Lux I found this as a buy-it-now on Ebay. Only the canister, and the price was a little beyond what I wanted, but what the hell...I've been looking for a G for ages, and this one looked particularly good in the seller's picture.

I'm really impressed with this machine. The motor runs quiet and strong with fantastic suction, and there are no funny noises at all. The body is in great shape; other than a few dings on the rubber bumper, it looks almost new.

"Spa" Treatment Yes indeed, Eric, my next job is to clean this one up. I didn't so much as wipe off the dust when I took the pictures. I've found Magic Eraser to be good for those bumpers too. | ||

Welcome home to Canada, Bob. Not to say that is not also your home. It would be fascinating to hear about a see pictures of how you live in China. But now you're home home, what a lovely welcoming sight to unbox. The tan G. Yes, you'll have to get a US spec hose coupler for that which should be simple. If you are in desperate need email me and by then I'll know what I can offer up in Amerilux hoses that would match up. What province of Canada are you in again? Fellow Canadian Dave. | ||

Another thought. To the best of my recollection the front wheels on a G or similar 5 wheeled Lux are not meant to touch a flat floor - the caster does that job. The front wheels are for decorative balanced effect but also on carpet do make contact and prevent the caster from sinking in to the pile. So, my guess is a back wheel has been bunged up since it will also not turn. Do let us know the diagnosis - tan G wheels are much easier to find than turquoise G wheels. Dave | ||

Sadly, Terry, I have (as yet) limited experience with American machines, but from what I've seen and heard on this site, I'd have to tentatively agree. Other than the XXX and LX, its arguably the most stylish American Lux. | ||

Bob I knew that you would love using this machine. Your set up there looks really great. Where did you order your hose from? | ||

The hose came from an Ebay store called Domestic Services/Vac Shack. It didn't look quite so pink/orange/beige in the pictures; it looked more like a good match for the white trim. Oh well, it does the job just fine. | ||

Japanese vacs
Bob....if you want to really have some fun, try searching the internet for vac websites from Japan. Just go to each big Japanese manufacturer's main website and even if you can't read Japanese, try to navigate your way over to the webpage for vacs (try every link...). Each company should end in "co.jp" so for instance Toshiba is toshiba.co.jp. It's amazing the things they are trying out on vacuums over there! Sanyo recently had a canister vac that recycled the filtered air back up the hose and into the attachments for a second time! Here's a start: www.toshiba.co.jp/living/cleaners... Try this with Korean websites too like Samsung! | ||
