    Anyone know about these?

    That metropolitan vacuum Looks like a mix of an Electrolux model T but add better wheels and a longer handle and with a generic electric hose and a generic or Miele power nozzle. And those attachments look really cheap and generic to me. I guess I think like this since I’m an Aerus/Electrolux...

    David Vacuums

    We have those “David’s vacuums” stores here The previous Oreck storefronts are now David’s vacuums. I just thought it was a local chain that took over the closed Oreck locations in the area. I live in the Dallas area. Anyway..,they run a lot of ads on tv in the morning during “Good Morning...

    10 Amp Sharp?

    My friend had one of those But it was in a teal color but it had the same labeling. I remember the “library quiet” on the label. It is a very nice sounding machine and also actually is easy to use and the attachments have very impressive suction. I got a later ,Odell from goodwill for one of...

    I am now the proud owner of all 5 of my grandparents’ Electroluxes!

    Passed down through the generations! I have my Paternal Grandmother’s XXX which became my Father’s Sisters after their mother passed away as she always lived with her in the family home. It became her house, she unfortunately passed away at 57 when I was 15 and I asked for the Electrolux! My...

    Let’s try this again: The Electrolux Commemorative Edition

    Detroit dirt bag….I think you missed something The commemorative editions were given to the sales reps. And Electrolux had one made for each rep with their name on it. Some reps have passed away or otherwise aren’t interested in the machines and therefore are starting to get passed along. There...

    I just became a proud papa, again

    I had one of these Mine did not have the cordwinder…just the manual plug in cord. I got it from an estate sale down the street from me. It had a plastic hose and nothing else but they threw in some other brand wands and a Eureka nozzle they had thrown into the dumpster in back of the house for...

    A few u inquest Hoover’s I like Well some old some newer….. We had an Orange Quik Broom that used the F bags. Seemed to last forever. Mom donated it a few years ago but Mom had it since the mid 70s and used it every few days for the kitchen and family room. I always liked the Hoover...

    Aerus guardian power issue

    Wands You can send me an email letting me know how much you want for the wands. I have a Lux Legacy and the two wands are a bit short for me and I have some big rooms in my house and having an additional wand to add to the two would likely help make vacuuming with this model a bit faster. Jon

    More images of my NIB teal Electrolux model L

    It’s been a long time Since I remember Mom’s being brand new like this. They tend to be tippy so be careful using it…many get scratched up from toppling over and dented as well. Mom’s fell down a few stairs once denting it. That nice unscratched power nozzle cover is fantastic too. So many are...

    Electrolux Oxygen Ultra

    These are all rebadged Eureka’s I despise these Electrolux’s they confused people horribly as Eureka wanted to sell their Electrolux line in the US so they bought the name back from the US Electrolux. US Electrolux, now Aerus suffered horribly and still is by the renaming. Most people still...

    Trash vacs

Everyone used the stay in time to clean out closets and deep clean their homes and I saw a LOT of vacs on the trash them as I would go walking daily for miles because I just HAD to get out of the house. So…consequently the...

    Did the Electrolux 1205 come with sound deadening?

    Interesting About the 1205 nomenclature. I actually wouldn’t doubt that. As the Super J has a higher number. Th 1453 was after the L and 1205 too. Hmm. On the sound deadening ….the 1205’s did not have sound deadening per se but the design was substantially different to the point that it helps...

    Saturday Evening Special:The Electrolux Ultralux Classic

    Very unusual detail I’m noticing…. The bumper on the power nozzle matches the cover. Usually one or the other is the contrasting color. The Ultralux Classic I bought used from someone had the beige colored top and blue bumper on the power nozzle. You NEED to start a museum with your...

    The Electrolux Model G Custom Rebuilt Canister

    Nice G That came out beautiful! I’ve painted my G high gloss metallic blue and you may have seen it in past pics I posted on an earlier thread regarding the model G. It looks nice too. Funny just this week, after pondering for a long time possibly getting a Miele because they are so quiet…I...

    Electrotag/Maylux

    I guess it’s a quality thing. That we would both like the same things. There’s just no substitute for the quality of either of these products. Jon
