I have an Idea that we are all looking for hoses. I wish I could offer some help, but was going to discuss-o-vac to ask this same question. |

Until very recently, you could buy woven saran hoses for Electrolux from Essco and Hesco. I just checked, and they must have stopped manufacturing replacement woven hoses, because on both sites they are listed as NLA (no longer available.) I wish I would have had some warning because I would have stocked up on them. They were not original but pretty nice nonetheless. Hesco had tan and aqua. Visitors to my collection have seen them and Tania went home with one. Your best bet at this point is to scour older vacuum shops for old stock. We found an absolutely brand new original Electrolux replacement hose at the vacuum shop in Kewaskum (sp?) WI where I found the brand new Bison. That hose now graces my LX and sometimes my XXX. Here it is. Keep looking, they are out there, you just have to hunt a bit. |

I went to Wikpedia to look up "Saran" and got this definition: Saran (plastic) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Saran is the trade name for a number of polymers made from vinylidene chloride (especially polyvinylidene chloride or PVDC), along with other monomers. The main advantage of Saran foil is a very low water vapor, flavor and aroma molecules, and oxygen permeability compared to other plastics. The barrier to oxygen prevents food spoilage, and the barrier to flavor and aroma molecules helps food retain its flavor and aroma. In some jurisdictions, the name Saran is a registered trademark of the Dow Chemical Company, while in others, it has lost trademark status and become a generic term for these polymers. This makes me wonder about the materials that were used to make up Electrolux hoses. Tomorrow I will gather up all my original Lux hoses and lay them out. Methinks that the later hoses were made from saran or some similar material. I am sure that we can count on Charles Richard to help us out here. When I think things are getting dull around here, we come up with a new topic to discuss. This one will be interesting! Fred |

Oh ok, Tom. I should have said "direct connect" instead of electric. Someone mentioned that the Sidekicks are for the uprights and the Sidekick IIs are for the canisters, so I was thinking pigtail v. direct connect. Thanks for the information. |

Sidekicks aren't just for the uprights... they are also for the metal wand canisters and the electric hoses for the 4000 and 6000 are direct connect not pigtail. Don't mean to be pedantic, but I guess I am |
