<span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Hi guys!</span>   <span style="font-size: 18.6667px;"> Wondering if anyone knows the approximate RPM's of the old electrolux's metal tanks i.e. Model G to Super J, etc.</span>   <span style="font-size: 18.6667px;">Or any of your favorite vintage brands...

1451 and L

Ok, that might be an extreme analogy...   But, today I gave the biggest vacuum gift to anyone ever from my personal collection and it felt scary and exhilarating and ultimately satisfying.    1968 Electrolux tan Model G   I have 4, and I narrowed it down to the two that I was willing...

I was so  excited to start using something I'd been keeping unused and finally enjoy it's feel and performance: a never used DeepClean powerhead.. brand new from unboxed UltraCaptic! I still keep the Vacuum body itself unused as an art piece, and as an example an of their height -as Eureka...

Excessive heat is the enemy:  even slow long term heat can dry skin, overcook food, and dry out rubber/plastic, filaments, etc.   So, I actually leave my cords pulled out after vacuuming for long cleaning sessions until the motor cools down, when if not done the cord would wrap up inside the...

Anyone else ever attach a power nozzle directly to the electric hose handle and vacuum close up and personal with the rug?   It's awesome!  So intimate. 

Here's hoping we all find our dream machines this year!   Vaclove, Bill

Thoughts?    

The future of vacuuming...   or at least a really good comprehensive start!!

Won this today at the office's white elephant gift exchange.   So random!

So, after having been enjoying all of my Electrolux collection over the past few months, I decided to use my Z400 on my rugs.   Needless to say, it's quick loss of suction when dusting with it and using on bare floors with the floor brush (while it's in Cansiter position) make it a last...

GE Big Boy Home Appliances!

I think the first two letters must be the reference to what was "American Electrolux", so are RUS the initials of the owner...   or is it more of a Toys R US type of thing?    

I just gifted a really beaten up, but still workhorse powerful, Model AE to my Barber and his brother who own the shop and have other vintage items around.  It fit in perfectly, and I think they'll use it often!   I wanted to see if anyone has the original, or photocopy or file of the...

I still think of my first big vacuum purchase.   I was around 13, living with my Mom in Allentown, PA.   Her old Dial a Matic had seen better days, and I was not a collector then, more of a kid who thought..."hmm, I can afford the gorgeous vacuum I want and say it's a gift to her, but...

I've always been transfixed, even as a kid, by the Barber or Hair Stylist going around sweeping up customers' fallen hair into a dirt pan and then tossing it in the trash.   I recently bought a very rough looking but perfectly working Model AE, and I think it would be an awesome...

Wondering if any of you flip over an area rug from time to time and vacuum the underneath.    Would it be counterproductive and draw top surface dirt deeper into pile from suction from underneath?  Or would it clean the underside and not allow dirt and dust from the floor under the rug to be...

Hi Guys,   Loving my Electrolux collection so much, I'm trying to accurately tell people about how in the mid to late 20th Century vacuum customers would invest in a good, long lasting, well performing machine and how that translates to current pricing.   I did learn the Olympia Ones...

So happy to welcome these into the family!   They all run beautifully.   Pretty sure I'm done acquiring for a while.  Running out of funds and display space.      [this post was last edited: 9/25/2018-19:34]

I've seen this color blue Model 30 before, but the attachments seem wrong and not made back in the 50s.   It's marked NIB?  That would be beyond rare status, if it's true.   Or.. Is there still a market for imitation Model 30s?  I can't imagine. [this post was last edited...
