, One of my favorite Electroluxes! Well, who am I kidding? They're ALL my favorites!     However, the tan G has a special place in my heart. My parents got one in 1968 to replace their battered E-Automatic.   I love how quietly the motor purrs; when vacuuming bare floors all you can...

You'll never believe what I found sitting by my front door this afternoon! It's another Olympia!! I have no idea who left it there but it obviously was someone who knows I collect vacuum cleaners. It's in lovely condition, only needing a quick wipe-down. It just came with the hose which leaks...

I'm not looking for any more vacuum cleaners. Seriously, I'm not. When I started dealing with all the stuff here after Arlee died I gave away many of them, some of them prized machines that I'd had for many years. The problem is, they seem to find me. A few weeks ago, a guy posted a...

I just couldn't stop thinking about that Electrolux Olympia I saw at the thrift shop the other day. The more I thought about it and considered its excellent condition and how old it is, I finally decided to go back there and get it. Again, like I need it like I need yet another hole in the...

I went down to the church today and installed on my 918 the new original bag I got at the thrift store with the U7037. Isn't it a beauty! I have some very fond and humorous memories of the Hoover 913 and 918 from my childhood. One time, when I was 4 or 5, we visited my Uncle in Maryland. I was...

I just couldn't stop thinking about that Electrolux Olympia at the thrift shop. The more I thought about it and considered its excellent condition and how old it is, I finally decided to go back there and get it. Again, like I need it like I need yet another hole in the head. Yeah yeah, call...

Today I had to go to a medical clinic for a blood test. (I chuckled when I noted that the brand name of the collection tubes is "Vacuette!") On the way home I passed a thrift shop that I hadn't gone to for quite a few years. However, today I got a HUGE "Vacuum Cleaner Twingle" so just for...

Here are photos of some trade-in piles from various manufacturers. I have more photos like this; however, they're prints and not scans.

      <p class="western" style="margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: 100%;">I’m no longer looking for any more vacuum cleaners. I went through a lot of tears and heartbreak when I recently had to deeply reduce my collection. However, they still seem to be finding me. Some have been offered to...

    I have a question about my Model LX -- something that's really stumping me. After I got it back from the guy who polished the trim, I put it all back together. When I turn it on, I can hear the hissing sound of suction escaping from around the bottom by where the ejection lever is. I...

~ ~ How's this for an unbelievable curb find! I nearly drove off the road when I spotted it!! This is my favorite Constellation for two reasons: First: I love the way the body is tilted on its axis, giving it a forward-moving appearance. Second: My uncle Charles Richard Jessup, for whom I...

~ ~ Quite a few years ago I received an email from a nice lady from the Midwest who found my web site. She said she had her mother’s “old Electrolux” in a green storage trunk. She said she didn’t have any need for it and if I wanted it she’d send it to me at no cost. Imagine my surprise...
