    Long Shot, but here goes: wanted/looking for…..

    An Electrolux Hospital G vacuum cleaner. They used to pop up on eBay from time to time, but lately I haven’t had much luck finding one. If anyone has one they’d be willing to part with, hit me up, maybe we can work something out. Thanks! Pic is for reference only!

    The Calendar may say July 7th........

    But it feels like December 25th to me! The UPS man just dropped off a package that has absolutely made my week......maybe even my month!! My spectacular eBay find that I was so excited about last week has arrived! I just put a brand new bag in it, plugged her in, and that motor purrs like a...

    Can Lightning Strike Thrice?

    Some of you may recall me making a post several weeks ago looking for an Electrolux Hospital G vacuum your add to my collection. Not too unexpectedly, that was a complete bust. There were a few suggestions as to where I might find one, but nothing solid, and it never came to fruition. I’d be...

    Long Shot......But Wanted:

    I know it’s a long shot, but hey, stranger things have happened.....would anyone have an Electrolux Hospital G that they would be willing to part with? I’ve really slowed down on my intake of vacuums, but I would like a Hospital G to add to the collection. Thanks! (Image credit to Tom Gasko)

    Does such an item exist?

    I have many eBay alerts set up, and this morning one of those triggered. I have a funny feeling however, that it’s a false alarm. Since I’m not claiming for once second to know everything there is to know about them, I thought I’d pose this to you all who have more insight than I do! We all...

    Whirlpool Bambi on eBay

    I don’t know who the seller is, nor how much this thing will end up selling for, but there is a NIB Whirlpool Bambi vacuum for sale on eBay. Now, the main reason I bring this up here is because the seller apparently has done some research, or at least has heard of Tom Gasko’s museum, because...

    Variety is the spice of life

    You know, one of the perks of collecting vacuum cleaners is that we never have to worry about getting bored with the machine we use to clean with! For example, I’m doing some cleaning today, and while my trusty Olympia One is patiently sitting in the corner waiting to be used, I wanted to...

    Surprised by a vacuum

    Okay, I know the title is pretty ambiguous, but I guess this is sort of a question as much as a statement to everybody here. Have you ever picked up a newer, cheap, almost toy-like vacuum cleaner to use for a small pickup job and actually be pleasantly surprised by its performance and...

    Went thrifting today....

    Today I visited two thrift shops I’ve never been to before. Didn’t expect to find anything worth bringing home, but much to my surprise, I brought home several new toys! For less than $17 I came home with two Eureka Airspeed One’s, two vintage box fans, and a Kirby Sentria I!

    I Finally Went For It

    Well, I went out on a limb, and I may regret it, but as of yesterday, I am officially a dealer for the Sirena Vacuum Cleaner system. I’ve debated on this for sometime now, and I’ve closely read the few reviews I’ve seen here, and I decided it was time to pull the trigger! So, with that said...

    Getting the new office set up!

    Well, I have taken a new job, and have a new office......time to start bringing some personal touches to it. The person before me had a planter on top of the bookshelf that leaked and made the top of the shelf look rather ugly. To cover it up, I figured I needed to add something that would...

    Pre-War Electrolux XXX on eBay

    Today’s Cleaning Ensemble

    I’m feeling a bit nostalgic today, so for my housekeeping duties, I decided to go the classic route! For the few carpeted areas, I used one of my favorite upright vacuums, my Hoover Convertible U4127. This is one of the first uprights I ever remember using as a kid, so it only fitting to have...

    Impulse buy of the year!

    I needed this thing like I needed a hole in the head, but the price wasn’t too bad and shipping was free! So I am now the owner of a Lux International 220V 1 Royal! Anybody know much about them, or where I might begin my quest to find parts? Thanks!

    Possible Early XXX on eBay

    Perusing eBay tonight, I ran across a Model 30 (XXX) Electrolux that I believe is an early model. It seems to have the correct items I can recall that would put it late 30’s possibly. Flat runners, different style bag door handle, and the one piece exhaust port instead of the swinging saloon...

    Electrolux Score

    Well, lately I have slowed down dramatically on the number of vacuum cleaners I am purchasing. For one thing, eBay and the like have driven the prices of these older cleaners through the roof, but also because I would like to focus more on models I don't already own......this however was an...

    The Rexair Lives!!

    Decided to dig an oldie out tonight! I remember the motor running when I first tried it out, but I couldn't really remember how well......turned it on again tonight and wow! It really surprised me at how well it ran! Once I get it cleaned up I'll post better photos and a video of it running!

    Nice Electrolux XXX......
