To the dismay of many, there comes a time where parts that were once "new" have become outdated and discontinued by manufacturers.
To give a recent example, the Electrolux Afuera hose and upper power nozzle wand have been discontinued by Electrolux, and a Beam hose and accompanying power wand are the only products available at this time to replace them.

The Beam hoses that can replace the Electrolux Afuera are as follows:

Once you've figured out which Beam hose best matches your outdated Electrolux Afuera hose, you must exchange your Electrolux wand for a Beam wand. Lastly, if you must swap out the Electrolux power nozzle please use the pictured below for the Beam power nozzle to the right. If you are updating the power nozzle you will need to update the Beam lower and upper wands. Happy vacuuming!
