I had been looking on eBay for a nice vintage Electrolux Model G to add to my collection, and found one and then lost it due to a "sign-in" glitch while last minute bidding... and I've been devastated for a few days.   It really was a gorgeous example at a medium price.  Would have been over...

If a bagless works for you.... Quietest I've found. Strongest suction I've found. Most diverse and extensive tool selection available. http://https//www.amazon.com/Dyson-DC39-Multi-floor-canister/dp/B0076ZGC04?keywords=dc39&qid=1532281957&sr=8-5&ref=mp_s_a_1_5

I remember when my Mom and Dad split up, of course my Dad needed supplies.. including a new vacuum.  So, as a fledgling vac enthusiast, we went shopping and I pushed him to get, at that time, a moderately prices Eureka ESP upright (I found an image of it on Vacuumland, thanks to Post 184171). ...

Wow Reggie, what a find! So, I guess the consensus is to just wait for a great deal on a good condition vintage model instead of trying to quickly get one at an inflated price. The hunt is on!

Lol.. I know, right!?!   That ad did catch my eye, even though the main body of the G shows more dings and scrapes than the one I lost the bid on, this one comes with all those rare attachments, which I think the metal one is a fogger, maybe, and the glass jar is a sprayer (but for what...

Sounds right... but when will I stop thinking about it!?! Thanks for your support, you guys!    I know you know how it feels.   Bill

Thanks Reggie! Sound advice! I ended up sitting in front of my computer as the eBay clock ticked down to end the bidding time, and as I placed my final bid and hit submit, it refreshed to the eBay sign in screen... and I missed out. Wasn't meant to be on this one, but man was I pissed at...

Thanks Jimmy! Great insights!

Hello all!   I bought my first vintage Electrolux HPR (probably a Super J) a few months ago (See Thread 36690, if interested, it's a good read!) and got the "I need another to represent a different (earlier) era of their design and engineering" notion stuck in my head!   Soooo...  ...

Thanks David!   My Mom had an orange DAM that I used growing up in grade school and then up until middle school.  I loved that thing, especially the hose attaching to the back with the adjustable suction control!   Bill

What is/was the "DAM"?   Pardon my naiveté!   [this post was last edited: 7/18/2018-12:10]

Electrolux Omni-Flo or Hoover Windtunnel? Similar technology? Which came first?

Style, dahling!

Hoover Z by far the smoothest and solid sounding (brushless motor, I believe).  Second would be the DC39 because of it's low dB level and the allowance of the vacummer (is that a noun yet?!?) to utilize and enjoy hearing the strong rush of airflow when using the tools. [this post was last...

OMG Tom, That Singer is soooo gorgeous!

Are good filtration bags available for these models? The one I saw on ebay is missing the chrome cord rewind bracket on tail of machine (maybe was an option at the time?)... could make storage less convenient.

Was there a Model E?  I saw one advertised on eBay, but it looked like a model G with a handle that had an "E" on it.

Love mine! Hi Keith! Loving my HPR! Using it now more than any other vac for my weekly deep cleaning, and light touch ups too. I noticed on the ad you showed, which is super cool, btw, it says that Electrolux is a Consolidated Foods Company.. know anything about that? Seems a strange...

In love... already looking for another with a chrome top! Arrived aged but in very good condition! No body dents, and less scratches than I expected. Motor running smoothly for over a half hour during cleaning. Interesting question.. Has anyone noticed that even with the suction regulator...

Picture this... Canisters make better subjects to photograph!
