    Tina! Clean the grout!

    That’s so cute! I still remember when the Electrolux man unboxed my great grandmother’s Sverado. I was 3, and its the only memory i have from that age... at least its the “first” memory that i can recall. I believe when i locked my eyes on that shiny silver metalic canister i was in love. I was...

    The season of Olympia...

    Thanks everyone! Hi all - Thanks so much for the compliments and info! Kevin, I appreciate your advice on tackling that dent! I haven’t done anything yet, and am waiting until I have a vacation day while the wife is gone and the kids are out of the house so that I can focus on working that...

    The season of Olympia...

    Another question... Any suggestions about the best way to remove this tiny dent? It’s not big at all, but I welcome any advice on how to go about removing.

    The season of Olympia...

    Hey gang, I thought I would share pics of a recent eBay score! I have been looking for a near mint oly for a long, long time. And last week I came across this little gem! I just realized the pictures may not do it justice, but the seller was not kidding when she said, “low hours”. The power...

    My FQ is causing the breaker to trip...

    One thing I forgot to mention... Anytime I use one of my Electrolux's, including my Aerus Guardian Ultra I never have any issues with the breaker tripping on me. It seems to be isolated to the Filter Queen.

    My FQ is causing the breaker to trip...

    Hello all, This is a bit of a dumb/silly question, so I apologize in advance if there's an obvious answer but I really am not very smart when it comes to household electrical wiring... Over the last few months I have noticed that if my Filter Queen (2014 Majestic Black) seems to trip the...

    My Electrolux Rebuilt 1401-B 💕💕💕

    How good is the cosmetics on a rebuild? That is a very beautiful rebuilt machine! I am curious, when Electrolux did a rebuild, how far did they go to remove dents in the canister? And, does anyone know how much a total rebuild would typically cost? Did Electrolux offer the same rebuild program...

    Electrolux 1205

    1205 models were my first love... I have always been fascinated by the Electrolux, particularly the 1205 models. Here's a pic of my mint 1205, Super J, and two Silverado's (one of them my Great grandmother's). I have yet to find a mint Olympia.

    If you could only keep one vacuum cleaner which one would you choose?

    FQ It would be my Filter Queen M11.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    Almost 1 year away from FQ's 90th anniversary! It had been a few months since I last checked the site. So I wonder if they are just going to wait until late next year or early 2018 to release a new model to coincide with the 90th anniversary?

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    Thanks for posting the 50th FQ Jubilee Tom, that is one of the most beautiful Filthy Queen's of that age that I have ever seen! One thing (other than the lack of metal) that I miss on the new black M11 models are having the FQ emblem on the attachments.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    Correct, no cord reel on the current model. I thought I read somewhere on another thread that Health-Mor is looking into it on a future model. I guess it's in R&D.

    Have you seen the new Filter Queen website?

    I absolutely love the new site! filterqueen.com. I purchased the new Majestic last year, and told the dealer I bought from that their website (at the time) did not do the product justice. This is such a nice shrine to a beautiful product! http://www.filterqueen.com

    100 Electrolux vintage

    Any Olympia's? Hi Heather! I would love a working Olympia (brown metal canister) with matching hose and power nozzle. I would definitely make a fair payment for your time.

    Aerus Vacuum dealers?

    Demi units... DJub85 - As I read your post I was reminded of a question, or bit of "mystery" I've always wondered about... What happens when Rainbow or Kirby door-to-door reps are demoing units? Is the plan to always sell the very unit used in the demo? I have bought a Rainbow, Filter Queen...

    Aerus Vacuum dealers?

    Lux Classic Curious to know if there are any white Lux classics still "new in box" for sale? I would definitely be interested in one of those.

    Electrolux USA Classic Logo Shape

    Logo on end of the machines... DJub85, that is the very first memory I have of Electrolux vacuums! I'll never forget seeing that logo on my great grandmother's Silverado... It's probably the classiest logo I've ever seen. I own a Lux Ultra and I noticed they have an imprint of the logo on the...
