Hitachi Vacs Heres a small display from one of the Agri Electrics shops (1984)...I loved the CV50D and the StowaWays where very popular, never liked the flimseyness of the later uprights, you will see a few Hoover Re-Cons in that picture which given the area sold very well!!

Vintage For the 100th we got together at Al`s place to photograph most of the UK models!!!

Hitachi CV50D Great haul there Chris, would love to see a seperate thread with pics all about the Hitachi, one of the best vacs of the 80`s IMHO, has everything you need , great suction, cord rewind, handle unlips for storage, beater groomer, switch off brush roll etc ... We sold them through...

Electrolux Floor Polishers Hi Erik, the polishers wernt that popular, they where usually sold to wealthy customers, or offered as an inclusive deal price but I dont remember ever seeing one or knowing any family and friends who had one, the carpet washer was never sold over here to my knowledge.

Lux Hello Benny, welcome to the club, great to hear your stories from a vac repairer....did you used to sell many replacement filters for the electroluxs etc...in the 60`s to 80`s I never knew many family & friends that regularly replaced filters, always loved the smell of the Lux Z100 at my...

The Later Trident models had the flat filters...

Earlier Models Z30 & Z55 Had the fluffy fleece filter

Electrolux filters and the box filter removed..

Z62 Filter Heres the Electrolux Z62 with metal cowel removed showing the fitted box filter

Exhausts The 65 was the vac I saw most of in peoples houses, it combined the very modern aesthetic with contour and colour and offered the latest designed tools....in fact, my Grans 55 was used with a 65 floor tool, the local electrolux repair guy used to sell the flip over floor tool so...

Contour I never thought it was dire, just clunky, but then again have always used these cleaners with the power head or small nozzles....now imagine a power head on the Hoover vari speed wet & dry, that would make a great combination cleaner!! Markus, I take it you had the same round disc air...

Floor Heads Wow, many of those floor heads are different to what we had over here!!!, love the "Hoover Automatic" on the Galaxy.... Thanks for posting!!!

Sensotronic Hi Markus, yes I see what you mean the Super Contour head is very different, never saw those over here, just the regular.... was it used on any other of your models?? Cheers, Mike
