    Eureka "Whisk" 150-A, 155-A; 160-A, 165-A / G-E MV1, MV2, MV3 hand vacs & portables

    Eureka Williams introduced the "Whisk" hand & portable vacuum cleaner in 1964, a year after debuting its Lightweight stick vacuum. Both used the same motor. These take Style "E & R" bags. I am guessing that the double letter ID may be the result of combining the Whisk bags & the Model 120...

    My introduction

    Glad you joined, Marc. I look forward to your sharing of knowledge, photos, experiences and opinions to the forum. I have no knowledge of the Vax Gator. Can you give some background on it? Is there only one model? My knowledge of Numatic Henrys is minuscule. I am unsure what decade(s) of...

    1972 Vac Shop's Multi-Brand Model Price List—Household & Commercial Vacs / Floor Polishers / Carpet Shampooers

    You're correct that the Compacts were door-to-door sales models. The Revelations were sold in stores concurrently; same design but in a different color. Check out this archived thread. Reply #5 shows a couple pages of the 1952 manual for a C-2 that shows all the attachments including a...

    Electrolux Prolux

    Strange thing ... I have been unable to locate the patent design in the database. Both the Electrolux and ProTeam ProForce ratings tags simply say "Patents Pending". I contacted ProTeam as it lists many other patent numbers for various models on its website but was told that it did not have the...

    1972 Vac Shop's Multi-Brand Model Price List—Household & Commercial Vacs / Floor Polishers / Carpet Shampooers

    Ran across this and thought it would be of interest. It includes various brands of model IDs that had been floor models and demonstrators; discontinued models and repo's. One has to wonder if the floor & surface care industry had a blue book of sorts to help determine such pricing or if...

    Electrolux Prolux

    I have no Prolux 1572C, but I know that there were two different versions and corresponding name IDs: "Prolux Electrolux" with an 8.5A HP motor and "Prolux Commercial by Electrolux" with the original 8.1A Electrolux L-shape upright motor. I suspect that the "Prolux Commercial by Electrolux"...

    Electrolux display at the Museum of Vacuums

    You're welcome, Elliot. During that era Electrolux Corporation took to using letters from the main descriptors of its cleaners as model IDs; 'T' stood for 'Thrift'. It sold for a short time in 1956 and 1957 and was designed in a very simple, economical way; using some overstock parts from...

    A group of French mathematicians, collectively named Bourbaki, set out to compose an international system of units (SI) beginning in the 1930s. Using the German word for 'integers', Zahlen (singular - Zahl), 'Z' was chosen as the symbol for them. AB Electrolux's use of the 'Z' in this way is...
