Hi Carmine,

I know but its old fashioned too. It came out with first of the Electrlux tank types more than fifty years ago. I find Electrolux's combi tool great especially for this kind of thing. (It also provides one less reason for banging my head getting in and out of the car to get things.) It's small and concentrates suction well for cleaning the low nap carpet in front and at the back of my wagon. All I have to do is turn it around to dust off stuff. Best of all, as I stated prior, its a cheap solution. The whole used vacuum, PN included, cost less than I woud have had to have paid Miele for its mini turbo tool.

The only thing I don't like is that the Lux tool doesn't have a brush or velcro lint picker but Electrolux upholstery tools never did.

Hi Venson:

It's correct to say I'm older than Old fashion.

Well, please don't assume. Like the personal message you sent me with regards to Oreck's redesigned bag holder..

Well if there are slots in the upholstery tool as you say, it appears that my assumption about clogging is correct an accurate concern. Releasing the full suction [with open slots] of the wider surface upholstery tool would diminish the clogging potential in the narrow neck dirt opening of the crevice tool.

The only point I think you are referring to is the bag locking/staging bracket on the later models ORECK bags to hold the bag collars securely. Which I must say work well.

Well the open slots were designed to make the flat head tool easier to glide; something that most SEBO marketed products do. Their flat mattress tool for example doesn't have any open slots.
