Commemorative Twins 01

I’m confused...... The Electrolux Model 1505 was commonly known as the Silverado. It was a gray body vacuum instead of brown like the Olympia One. The Olympia One was a model 1401B, and the “Special” Olympia was a 1453 model. The only exception I can think of that would lead a person to...

Rare??? Nope......I have three or four whole machines, and who knows how many parts machines! They’re good cleaners, but that braided hose won’t last too long unfortunately. IF it’s holding air right now (and that’s a BIG if), it will start leaking very shortly after you begin using it...

Sorry about that! I have absolutely no idea why it posted so many times!!

That vacuum is....... Indeed a Hoover Constellation, however that “P” means it was rebadged for JCPenney under their house brand Penncrest! While mine isn’t angled like that one, I too have a Penncrest badged Connie. For the price, if you’re close enough to grab it, go for it! They’re cool...

Nathan Or Electrolux-Dude as he is known here will hook you up if you’re wanting a good Electrolux vacuum. He services all of his machines, and I can personally vouch for the quality of his workmanship! I bought my mother-in-law a Model G and he serviced it for me. I have zero reservations...

That is BEAUTIFUL!!! It’s unique to say the least. I found the listing on eBay.de, but I can’t make heads or tails out it! Anyone care to decipher it? https://www.ebay.de/itm/Lux-Intelligence-incl-Powerprof-Profimotorburste-allen-Dusen-Zub-Set/132917293761?hash=item1ef27cf2c1:g:MmMAAOSwty5bpVCU

Wasn’t me either I watched it for a while, but there at the end it started climbing too high for my wallet! Oh well, I hope whomever the new owner is, that they enjoy it, and hopefully preserve it!

Brian I would LOVE to have a setup like that for my platinum! Where did you get the hose and nozzle from?

I don’t know who the seller is, nor how much this thing will end up selling for, but there is a NIB Whirlpool Bambi vacuum for sale on eBay. Now, the main reason I bring this up here is because the seller apparently has done some research, or at least has heard of Tom Gasko’s museum, because...

Bison Vacs Superocd, as has been stated above, the designer and builder of the Bison was a former Kirby employee who parted ways with the company, and decided he could build a “better mousetrap”.....thus the Bison was born. I have personally seen very few of them in real life (except the one I...

You know, one of the perks of collecting vacuum cleaners is that we never have to worry about getting bored with the machine we use to clean with! For example, I’m doing some cleaning today, and while my trusty Olympia One is patiently sitting in the corner waiting to be used, I wanted to...

Jimmy Thank you very much! I do plan to make a trip to see you very soon when this awful weather lets up some! Hopefully Hans Craig will get to join us, and we can fit a trip to Ridgewood in this time. Hopefully I’ll be able to lighten your load some of your excess machines as well! Oh, and...

Okay, I know the title is pretty ambiguous, but I guess this is sort of a question as much as a statement to everybody here. Have you ever picked up a newer, cheap, almost toy-like vacuum cleaner to use for a small pickup job and actually be pleasantly surprised by its performance and...

My ALL-TIME Favorite..... In the Regina Electrikbroom lineup! Mainly for sentimental reasons. Growing up, my grandfather had one identical to that, same stencil pattern bag, etc. As a kid who was a nut over vacuum cleaners anyway, and coming from a household that was strictly Electrolux...

Toughest motors I can’t speak a lot on the newer vacuum motors, and I believe many newer motors have been designed with planned obsolescence and shortened lifespans. The toughest motors I’ve personally ever encountered are the old coffee can style Hoover motors, or the early Electrolux motors...

Robot Vacuums I can’t speak from personal experience, but I too have seen the videos of robot vacuums coating the whole house in rover’s “accident”. On a comical note, let’s hope you don’t have one of “these” carved into your floor!
