Have a look at this thing: The Piccolo by Electro-As. It was very common here, I still remember having seen some of them in action when I was a kid. You can still see parts of it being sold on fleamarkets here...

Michelle, I LOOOOVE your pic Is that you? I hope it is! Adorable, could cuddle your cheeks all day long. This face plus the chain saw message! That makes my day. :-))) Joe

If we had time travel... Gee, Robert, Thanks for making this video. I've been following the Premier thread all along. But MAN, this machine is a BEAST! That is some serious suction rush and the beater bar sounds really no-nonsense. I wonder what people back then would say if they could meet us...

This is one beautiful machine I just love that metal eagle plate and logo. Does it have a revolving brushroll? Adorable, that horizontal round blower casing. A beauty! Got any videos of it? It's a gem anyhow. (Rare that I comment on brands that I have no knowledge of, but this one is worth a...

aluminum foil and Coke use the foil as a rag and coke as the cleaner. Works like a charm, especially on chromed stuff.

I just love this thread ;-) Been following it for some while, just as I have been observing Juniors for quite some while. But just recently I got myself my own Junior Dirtsearcher 1334 (is it?) in blue and white with a headlight in the front cover. Some childhood "being home" feeling is...

hi all, how can I disassemble a Lux woven hose? (Euro style, so no inner wiring) Yes, I have used the search here and on youtube as well, I have read all available leak repair instructions with rubber and plastic and pour-in and sliding a foil thingy along the hose etc. etc. Perhaps I missed...

loud can be peaceful, shril can be nerve-wrecking This thread is highly entertaining (speaking of how one person perceives the same vacuum a different way than another). For my own vacs I found the loudest: - Hoover Celebrity single speed UFO (and unpleasant) - Siemens B series standard...

A shame indeed, I agree with you That is right, they do not update very often. Too bad, as their canister "Air belt" is a very fancy and logical concept to me. I had the chance to use a borrowed one for a day and I was very pleased. The Felix however was not too much to my liking. (I used it...

good you mention it, thanks. Indeed, SEBO vacs are sold in specialised vacuum shops only over here. The average consumer does not even know them to exist as a brand (apart for some freaks like me). Let alone that they had derived out of a former Vorwerk competition thing. The only thing that...

indeed surprising What is most interesting for me is the fact that most people are angry about the noise. Apparently "turbo scream" does not mean "turbo action" anymore (hello Kirby, can you get that? *wink*) Glad to know that I am an average picker-up compared to what goes around worldwide...

Europe should keep its filthy fingers out of things... ...they do not fully understand. There is a saying here in Germany: "if you cannot succeed in local politics, go nationwide" (Today it can be altered to "if you cannot succeed in nationwide politics, go Europe" Which is true for most part...

Attention Lux owners in the EU, Lux France features an online shop even for archived products (at least for parts and accessories). Unfortunately, they will only deliver to France and its associated regions. All other owners are asked to inquire at their respective local dependencies (and those...

most probably a "Tornado" A French brand that was sort of redoing the Vorwerks back then.

highly entertaining! Doug, that website gave me some new insights about things that were never clear to me. E.g. I did not know that Vactric is a Scottish company. Especially the last polisher looks very interesting. What about that small pushbutton up on the handle? Are you going to add some...

PS: Look at this Tommy in Milano has the 111 (with a 114 paper filter bag) http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?492

It is a VK 111 I am positive about this because my grandmother had this one. VK 53 (one model before) is basically the same, but it has a green badge and a detachable suction port with a screw. Going to model VK 111 they did away with direct access to the blower fan, so VK 111 had a fixed...

Guess WHAT! ;-))) Just 10 mins ago I shot the very same one here in a thrift shop for 10 €. It is even in a slightly better condition than this one, just the vinyl cable threaders have come off the handle rod. Perhaps a new belt and that missing threaded nut for the handle/sviwel neck...

no chance It is an "Electrostar" aka "Starmix" made vacuum cleaner. Many of those keep popping up on Ebay and other platforms, very much like the "Siemens Rapid" stick vacuums. It apparently is not a collector's item, that is because there are too many of them. You should be lucky if you get...
