Peculiar Tellus/ nilfisk machines

[centralsweeper63]

I have a few Tellus machines and thought I would share them. I have got a dual motor central vacuum, a dual motor industrial vacuum , a s55 and two standard gs80's. I am wondering what the correlation between nilfisk and tellus is? I have only seen two or three tellus central vacuums , my gs82, my s55, nilfisk branded gm90's and quite a large amount of gs80's. I will add photos of these machines. I am also wondering what year the s55 was made in as some sources say mid 30s while others say mid 50s. The blue machine is the central vacuum.

Tellus was their old export name for a time. I adore that older machine! Would that be.. 30s? 50s?

I did some digging into their more modern machines. There was a lot of them.
First there is the Nilfisk Meteor which was a bagless machine that came in blue or red. Photo 1.
The Extreme series, a not so little although quite scrunched up machine. Photo 2.
I believe this is a private labelled Samsung canister, the Smart. Photo 3
The Freestyle is a rebadged Samsung Quiet Storm. Very good machine apparently. Photo 4.
The Compact came in three models and is just an even more scrunched up extreme. It was hung on a wall. Photo 5
The Action was a large bagged canister. It had a blowing port. Photo 6.
The King is pretty much a modernized Extreme with some added features. Photo 7.
The Combat is a rebadged Chinese made machine I think. Photo 8.
The Astral Shuttle/ Comet was available with a bust box or a dust bag. The exhaust was a piece of plastic that tilted.
The Nilfisk Power was a mid range bagged cylinder. Photo 10.

Oh darn, I will have to make another post. Oh well.

That bright red Nilfisk Freestyle in the fourth image from the left, top row, is a Samsung Quiet Storm / Quiet Jet ( same vacuum carried different names, supposedly because Quiet Jet was already being used for a printer )

This is one of my Samsung Quiet Storm / Quiet Jet canister vacuums. The hose is an aftermarket item from Hibbert International in Calgary.

Yeah, I mentioned that in the fifth line of text. Here is the continued list. Photos go in order of left to right and then to the left of the row below. Like a book pretty much.

The NewLine, a dark brown and white Phillips canister from the 90s. Very interesting to me. Photo 1.
The Family is a gd1000 series commercial machine turned into the business and family.There was a deluxe and a basic.
The One was their compact machine with either a 450 or 750 watt motor. It was available in about 6 colours. Photo 3.
The gm200/300/400/ the other 7 variants came out in the 90s. It was featured in an ad linked below. Photo 4.
The Elite has been the top of the line for a few years now. It has a remote control, H14 filter and a 5 year warranty.
The GO Compact is a little nugget of a machine. Very small and compact. Photo 6.
The Bubble series is one of the only machines offered with a power nozzle. Pretty similar to an ultrasilencer or something
The tempest was just another little compact machine with nothing special about it whatsoever. Photo 8.
The Sprint and Sprint Plus.More typical compact machines. Photo 9 shows the Sprint Plus and 10 has the Sprint to right.

Another post is needed. Sigh.

The Nilfisk Action Plus is just a big wedge. Nice machine to use though. Photo 1.
The Combat Ultra is just another very similar bagless machine. Photo 2.
The Nilfisk Select was sold above the One and below the Elite and Select. Photo 3.
The Nilfisk Coupe Parquet is a compact machine from the early 2010s. I was cleaning a holiday home and one started smoking. Photo 4.
The final machine is the Bravo. The Bravo was sold as an intermittent between the Elite and the Select. Photo 5.

The Newline bottom row far left is a Philips TC633, also sold in the US as the Oreck DT1300 or DT1400 DutchTech.

Yeah, I thought that might be the case.
