    roseanne vacuum

    There is an episode of Laverne and Shirley where one of them is using, or has just used a Regina square cannister, with the buttons on top of the cannister. Its one of the earlier episodes when they lived in the downstairs apt. I think the episode centers around them not being able to get to...

    Electrolux USA/Aerus Manual Cover Caboodle

    Yep,,that proves it! I once asked an old old Electrolux salesman who had been selling at least 50 years, what was meant by Electrolux "DELUXE" vacuum cleaner. He said the "Deluxe" means WITH POWER NOZZLE. Evidently left over term from the days of the Model A/E and forward where the PN was an...

    dreams came true

    UUUGG! I could kick myself. I receintly saw one in VERY good condition near a dumpster at a Senior Apartment center, with a bunch of other stuff. An elderly lady had passed, and the family was throwing out what was left after they took what they wanted, evidently. The machine had the book...

    Did Any Hairdressers Actually Use the Kirby Turbo Groom Kit?

    No, not that i ever knew of Ben. I never used it in my shop because the clipper blade is too slow for me. Yes, it cuts the hair,,but a professional regular electric clipper blade cuts the hair much faster, better and easier. The Kirby clipper is bulky and noisy. But, all in all, is OK. Would...

    $250 Model G...With Bids

    Wow Kenkart, that is a beauty! That is one of my dream machines. If you ever want to sell it, please let me know. I think the Electrolux Model G is Electrolux at its finest. Epecially when used with a PN5 or higher. The PN1 was OK, but just dosent dig into thick or deeper napped carpets...

    Beautiful job! Id have to say the Golden J is my favorite Electrolux, but i prefer the L shaped PN. THATS the machine i grew up with tho. Or at least from about age 11 on. My Grandma bought a new Golden J in the Spring of 1976 from the Electrolux Salesman out of LaCrosse WI. I still have...
