    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Good deductions Bill, Kevin and Paul. Electrolux AB bought Eureka in 1974, and ran it fine until the 90's. It seems all old factories have closed up. The next for the axe was the Greenville Michigan former Gibson refrigerator plant, bought by them with White Consolidated along with Frigidaire...

    HOW DID THIS END UP IN THE US???

    How it got here? Perhaps with a returning US army or other military veteran. Many are stationed in Germany. Kaiserslaughtern, Ramstein air base, Zweibruken, etc. You can also buy American products near those bases, namely cars and pick ups. Americans also work and live over there for short...

    Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

    Already are extinct The Cyclone Power, and Oxygen line were the final products from the Vastervik plant in Sweden, early 2000's. There was also Volta. Enter Hungary; the machines out of Hungary have mostly Chinese electronics and pressure transducer parts, and were troublesome. The Oxygen 3...

    Miele Blizzard CX1

    Miele's are plastic, but the durable kind, not cheap lexan. The C3 skeleton design saved a bit of weight. Even their new vortex single fan motor will outlast the old AB E-Lux twin fan motors, and performs at least as well. At least you are getting what you pay for. Even at close to a...

    Saw a lot of vacuums this week in

    I passed up a Kirby there last week. It was a 90's model. They had $50 on it. It didn't look too bad. It had the tool caddy, but no hose. Heavy machines. Still, for those tired of replacing plastic machines that last a few years tops, they can't be beat. I'm at the point in life where you...

    The "Cream" of 1982. With hints of hot fudge, and racing stripes!!

    yeah, drool I won't part with my '79-or'80 brandywine model 1279, or 1290 canned ham either. I thought the canned hams were discontinued before the belt view power heads came out though. Maybe they kept them in production for Wards longer.

    Back east?

    Ohya (ohio) is where Hoovers were made. Remember the door to door vacuum cleaner salesman, like when Moms mostly stayed home? Whenever a new housing plan went in, they were in there along with the milk man, Fuller brush, Kirby, Rexair (Rainbow), Filter Queen, etc. California was really on...

    HILARIOUS :)

    Maybe he also drives a "Reliant" car. Not a "Shimitar" though, one of the 3 wheeled jobs. His vac looks top rear heavy like one. They used to roll over if you cornered too fast.

    Clay Floyd has died

    Sorry, I disagree this has become a mickey mouse type club because it pales in comparison to some other big boys clubs these days of which I won't mention. Some are bigger babies than the teen members here. One aspect of someones life does not totally define them. One good aspect of maturity...

    Bought Old Vacuum, Seller Unresponsive, What Should I Do?

    Glad the seller finally replied There are so many frauds these days. Use Paypal, or other secure form of payment which provides recourse. My mom used to say wait broke the wagon. It never hurts to be pro active. The latest gift card scam is to remove the skew off the back and check online...

    My cleaning business vacuums

    Heeeheeee! Post # 10 makes me laugh. Thats the way I stare at something I also have no idea how to use. I don't tweet personally. Sebo is great for vacuming a dusty Trumpy bear too. Go clean house.

    My cleaning business vacuums

    Great for you! I had a cleaning business once. I used a Kenmore until I had enough capital to buy a Hoover Conquest with the magnet and side clean out port. I was able to sell it when I liquidated.

    I called Shark/Ninja Today

    Mark, your's did pretty good. Most die of performance failure like an air leak and end up in the trash after 2 to 3 years. I see them at the curb all day long. Shark has loyal repeat customers like our kids too though.
