Trident The annoying thing is that none of the later Trident models appear in "Which Electrolux Is It?", only the first in an earlier edition si we can only speculat on the age. It would be interesting if Markus or Edgar (or anyone else) could comment to know if these models (or ones like...

And finally Doug's The implication is that this machine would have come along at the end of the 1960s, certainly post 1968. Whether or not it continued beyond 1969 (when the 80 range on which this was based was replaced with the all new 91 series) I cannot say. If I am honest I do not care for...

Trident Its hard to tell but it appears that the front profile of the cleaner is somewhat different to the other Lux cleaners of the time. The model was then updated to have a front similar to that used on the Lux 65 and then 80 with the two side catches. It retained the bag full signal. I...

Trident Doug always does such a good job of rejuvenating grubby and dirty cleaners :) These Trident cleaners are a bit of curiosity. Before the 1980s Electrolux where not known at all for doing exclusives with one exception at the end on the 1950s - the Norvac based on the 55 model, then...

Hooverette You have done a great job there Anthony, it looks like it has just come from the factory. I was never quite sure why Hoover brought this out as there does not seem like there would have been a market then for a cleaner to bring out for a "quick run round" and there was the Dustette...

Hooverette These pop up with amazing regularity although they were sold for about 20 years here from 1961 until 1981 (approx.). It is an direct equivalent to the Hoover Lark stick cleaner sold in North America. Although the Lark was not sold with tools there were later US models (which we did...

Luxury You Can Afford Gosh that takes me back a long way. A former colleague of mine used to work for Cyril Lord in Belfast in the 1960s - he said that as many carpets "went out the back door" as went out in the delivery truck. I can just about remember the TV ads but there seem to be none on...

Hoover 912 Well not a 912 but one of the later versions of it - collection only from Chester. If this is a bit far for you or you don't have a car send me an email (email address in my profile) as I MIGHT be able to get it picked up for you and I will be in the Mansfield area soon Al...

Advertisment here is an ad for this cleaner - dated as 1964 Al

I came across this whilst looking for something else - nice one :) Al

Power Nozzle I am sorry but i do not believe that this series cleaner (its an early model) ever came with a power nozzle - well not in the UK at least. But its still a great find, these more up-market models are quite rare Al

Patience will have to be your virtue David. They do crop up from time to time, although its like busses, one does not show up for ages, and then 3 or 4 all crop up at the same time. They were sold here for 40 odd years so one is bound to turn up eventually Al

Russian Cleaners Have been discussed here before, see the link below http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?19557

Hoover 307 That is a Hoover model 307 washing machine, sold in the UK from 1948 until 1954 or so, although it may have been sold in overseas territories for several years after that. It was also sold in Canada as the model 308, although it was not sold in the USA as far as I know, although it...

Goblins The Goblin 461 appears in the Which report from October 1973 at a price of £19.58, typically discounted to £15.43 which seems like its first appearence. That same report lists the 702 (previously 701 - largely the same though) at £42.45 which was pushing up on the same list price as the...

Louvre John It might possibly have something to do with Portables and Dial-a-matics (non power drive) sold in Europe being manufactured in France - possibly Al

Picture, picture, picture personally I have never heard of it but if you could post a picture or two that would be very helpful in identifying the Parlourvac. I believe the Whirlwind might have been manufactured by New Maid, actually if you do a search on ebay you might well turn up an advert...

Buggles The video is of a performance in Germany not Britain, personally I could not see anything apart from a second of a cut to another video

Hoover cleaners And great hints of some washer porn there as well :) Neither bag is original, and i think that the 300 may have been a re-built (by Hoover) version. Could the motor you saw have been like this Kenmore (acknowledgement to Electrolux 137 for photo)

Orangey/Red While browsing through ebay this morning I noticed the Junior on the link (yes, I know its missing its front cover) and I wondered if this was a main line Hoover colour or an exclusive? And wasn't there a dark blue one but with a similar grey bag? I had been trying to think what...
