I was looking at some central vacuums for a large house, then I got distracted looking at triple motor central vacuums. I know there are filtex, thoromatic and airflo triple motor units. I know there is a copy of a filtex/ central vacuum international unit that sells a single, double or...

I am not saying they re exactly the same, though I am saying they are similar. I think either dyson or the company making the robot maybe saw this idea and ran with it.

Here I have found a video from 2012 showing a samsung robot vacuum going over the spot again for regular vacuuming. go to 3:30 for that feature.

I was using my Hoover 262 and thought I would compare it to a stick vac for the fun of it. I found that the hoover cleaned a lot better as expected, but this sent me wondering, what do you think the best cleaning vacuum is? for me it would have to be out of the following: Hoover 1346a...

I forgot to say that NZ Electrolux serial numbers are 7 digits and are read as follows, first digit indicates last number in the year, the next two numbers are the week and the remaining numbers are the number of that model to come off the production line. E.G. an electrolux d338 with the model...

I am looking at setting a saving goal of a refurbished kirby and thought to get your input. In New Zealand we got kirby from 1988 onward, that is heritage 2 legend to avalir platinum. I have my eye on the heritage 2 legend, g3, g4, g5, g6, g8 and sentria for various different reasons. I...

I believe that that those lime green machines might be the green remake of the 328 that is mentioned in the NZ Electrolux timeline. That would mean they were sold alongside the 720 and 725 as the basic option. Your blue 346 ( I think) would be the model to go with the 735. DDK848, that model...

Thank you for your comments, I am the vacuum collector featured in the video. I appreciate your kind comments. I am hoping to get on 7 sharp ( local TV show) next.

In Australasia we really do have a mixed bag of machines, mostly cylinders with some uprights. I will start with hoover as an example. We got identical machines to the UK for the most part with some differences. I have a junior u1346a, hooverette 2944a, junior u1104, 2x constellations ( forgot...

Since my last reply I have aquired a Husqvarna q2600h. I was wondering what the link between electrolux and husqvarna is? I have seen a greeny blue model with a suction control slider and on board tools , a charcoal gray model with a suction control slider boost button on board tools and turbo...

Well, I was thinking a premier clean 950 for a basic setup, or a kiwivac kb4t for if I went all out. going allout would mean retractable hoses ( 1x 50 foot and 2x 40 foot), basic inlets, 2 vac pans, a vroom, a port to attach a 2 inch hose in the garage or have it capped of, a large array of...

I am looking for some ideas on what central vacuum for setup you would suggest for a 250 square meter (2700 square foot) new build. That is excluding the 5.5 x 5.5 meter (18x 18 foot) vacuum area in the attic and the 6x6 (20 x 20 foot) meter courtyard. I would like an md sv or g23 equivalant...

I have been lucky enough to end up with a vac n seal food storage system. I hear they are incredibly rare ( unless I am wrong). My example is new in box with all the original paperwork, including the dealer paperwork. It seems very well made as with all MD manufacturing products. I am...

I know the owner of Kiwivac central vacuums and they are made with lamb motors, standard tools and standard tubing systems. They are made over here mainly because it means the shipping costs can be lower because it is easier to ship a motor than a machine. They are made to specification for the...

Would anyone know where I could find the inside of that brochure that Owen has linked with his svt. In New Zealand we have Kiwivac central vacuums and their kb range of machines. There is the kb which I do not know what motor it has, the kb2 with a single 117123, the kb3 with a single massive...

Hello, thank you all for your replies. After doing some extra research and comparisons I have got some answers. In the early history there appears to be some machines that were sold overseas that were not sold in NZ. Some examples of this are the model 9,10,12,18,24,117,29,30,48,60, etc. I...

Were these taken at a Godfreys in Australia or NZ.

That is very interisting to hear, this information came from a ex-employee of electrolux in the 1990s. I do not know much about very early vacuums, other than the hoover model O. I am quite intrigued by that. There might be a corelation between electrolux and dudley-electric. I have...

had the time to check. the 720 in made in NZ, but the 735 is made in australia

I think all of the from the z89 onwards were made in NZ, if any of them were it would be 720 onwards. I will post later tonight when I can check
