    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    2 D725 versions: - German in tangerine & black (YT vid screenshot) ... Australian in beige & brown (Reddit photo) So far, it's the only model I've seen that had two different color combos—showing that they were made during different styling periods. Seems the features were the same, though...

    I think these are Swedish models. The only one I recognize is what appears to be a Z305. I think the one on the left is a Z318, and one with the Turbinette is a Z324. Have never seen that style of upright.

    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    Jimmy makes a good point, mopep. Dysonman1 (Tom) probably knows; you could pm him. Otherwise, you could reach out to Doug Smith. His email is on his homepage at the end of the intro. Buying a Westy from Jimmy as a parts machine, if he has one, would probably be your best bet.

    HELP !! Correct size belt for a Hoover U652A in UK ??

    Hi Derek, I found a listing for Hoover 652 & 652A belts at eBay Ireland: https://www.ebay.ie/itm/317174327859? No matter what you will want to measure the diameter of your belt and inquire of a future seller what the measurement is to see if there is a noticeable difference before you make...

    Super House Maid Vacuume Cleaner

    Here are online photos from a sales listing of a Firestone model F-50 tank type for comparison. Interesting that Clements omitted its name from the ratings plate. I imagine that many customers would have presumed that Firestone made the cleaner, but it excludes "Manufactured by" and only states...

    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    Yeah, I would like to see a photo of the specs. This site is richer when details like them are shared and the "puzzle pieces" can be fit together. Sounds reasonable that the 19AR is a date code. Btw, Doug Smith, a Canadian collector of worldwide surface care appliances, has a website of his...

    Eureka Princess Canister TV Commercial

    P. S. I neglected to mention that my statement about the Brandywine Roto-Matics being the first to have the V-Gs is based on a poster's comment from an archived thread; not my personal knowledge. I have found nothing to the contrary based on online photos, however, and it seems to me that the...

    Eureka Princess Canister TV Commercial

    You bet, Mike. Yeah, Eureka believed that variety is the spice of ... appliances. Other variables besides colors and brush rolls were amps, peak horse power, exhaust (port for hose or non-port), Tool-Pak (if included - covered or uncovered), electronic suction control...

    Super House Maid Vacuume Cleaner

    Please give me the patent number (typically beginning with 'D' for 'Design'), and I'll do a search. In another thread, a poster mentioned "House Maid" as being Spiegel's label and showed a catalog page with a House Maid upright; although Spiegel would most likely not have been the manufacturer.

    Eureka Princess Canister TV Commercial

    The 1265's Roto-Matic powerhead, premiering in 1972, came with a Disturbulator with square ends. The Brandywine TOL Roto-Matics with headlights, launched in late 1977, were the first to be equipped with Vibra-Groomers with hex ends; the hex ends having been introduced on the uprights in 1975...

    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    P. S. (For reference) Just noticed that the 1968 ad is "VS-25", which appears to be an error as it was run only one day in that one newspaper. I did, though, find several others with "VC-25".

    Westinghouse canister rebuild

    Jimmy is in the process of closing his Elizabethton, TN store and has a large inventory of cleaners and parts. Reach out to him at 423-268-4841. I wonder if your Westy was rebuilt at some point as the ads withI located in a digital newspaper database for Westinghouse canisters began with the...

    Volta U157A 1976

    Thanks—hadn't considered the pn outlet. That's why I often make tables and lists; it reminds me to look for features that I might overlook like this time. Another item that often gets overlooked by many is the lengths of the hoses and power cords. I would imagine that they varied among trim...

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Ask him sometime what those model IDs were. Btw, someone on an archived thread had posted a link to the German models list, but it's dead. If your friend has it, it would be a nice addition to our other data.

    AB Electrolux, Lux & Related Company D/AP/S Series Info. 1978-2025

    Yes, must be. Glad you mentioned that, because I had thought (as my table shows) that the D920 & D950 preceded the AP & AC models.
