    Was the Electrlux G really any good?

    Was the Electrlux G andy good? Hans-you got the point I was making. It is all in the eyes and age of the person looking at the equipment. Just because of my age-It still bothers me that all the cars look alike and they have to TELL YOU it is a "Luxury" SUV. Still looks like an old truck to me...

    Was the Electrlux G really any good?

    This is a funny story about how your age can effect how you look at a new product and value it compared to an older machine. When I was young our neighbor called us and told my mom to come RIGHT over for a cup of coffee as she had something to show her. We lived in the country so you had to...

    Meet Herbie the Kirby! My brand new Sentria II

    Meet Herbie the Kirby Great pictures It really shows up the high quality of the product and makes so many of the new vacuums of today look so cheap. That should last for a long time.

    Brand New TACONY Canister - the Wonder!

    23777 GeorgeCT Well I will have to disagree with you about the tool storage. I don't like the tools stored under a plastic door that you have to mess with every time you want to change tools. I had that with my Hoover Anniversary, Miele and even on my Electrolux Epic 8000. I had a new...

    More Target Plastivacs!

    More Target Plastivacs Hooverman2121, Thanks for posting the picture of your new Aerus Platinum. I really like the looks and the shape of the hose handle. It makes the Hoover Plastic vac look pretty sad and cheap. In your picture it looks like your wands and power nozzle match in color. Some...

    Brand New TACONY Canister - the Wonder!

    thread 23777 Tom, Nice looking machine. What will be it's strong points and what is it geared to compete with on the market? I ALREADY like the tools better than the baby tools that came with my Miele.

    Re: Thread Number: 603 (2006) A long winded Electrolux question:

    Re: Thread number:603 (2006) A Long Winded Electrolux John, I know you are correct as I started with Electrolux in the Indianapolis branch in spring of 1969 and was trained on the NEW 1205 machine. They did not have the tan G or L out on the show room but they still had a new supply. I had the...

    Aerus/Electrolux USA 90th?

    Aerus/Electrolux USA 90th John, Thanks for your story of the early days. It is difficult for people today to even imagine what a revelation the Electrolux was when it was first introduced. The story I heard from my great aunt was that she was going to have some church ladies over for a...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 3

    My New Aerus Vacuums part 3 Hey Dan, You are going to love this one. I was JUST getting ready to "to give you the business" of how I never had to fix my Electrolux because it NEVER breaks -when I finished using it today the cord winder refused to go back in the machine. First time in 12 years...

    My New Aerus Vacuums - Part 3

    My New Aerus vacuum part 3 How can a business person even think in today's world they can quote such a price for a simple upright machine? That is outrageous. We have at least 5-6 beautiful vac stores in my area that sell high end Ricarr, Simplicity and Miele machines at different price...

    Electrolux Model XXX Questions

    Electolux XXX questions Charlie, That one rug tool you have unknown marked on your picture looks like the one that came with my family's model XX they bought in 1940. Neither the rug tool or the floor brush swiveled and the fuller brush top was finished like the machine in the same finish as...

    My New Simplicity Vacuum

    My new Simplicity vacum Bud, I really like the shade of green. Very interesting and different. It looks better in your shot than on their web site. I will be interested to know how the dusting tools hose works? So many of the machines today fall over when you attempt to use the attachments...

    Simplicity 7850

    Simplicity 7850 Bud, Thanks for the information. Let us know if you get the Simplicity. I was impressed with them at the dealers. Sure would like to see the new Air-Way too. I can't imagine what it would look like without the original Air-Way shape and unique tool set.

    Simplicity 7850

    Simplicity 7850 Bud, What is the deal with the Air-Way canister? Is this a machine that has gone into production? You got my interest. I think I was told a company had bought the rights to the name for use on a Central Vac but were not going to produce a regular home portable vacuum.
