Hi Paul, it was just by chance that I saw this. I'm rarely online anymore. The 26 pounds sounds right, but by my various tests this is the complete unit. My tests are the basic unit at 20 pounds.

Paul, way back in January, 2013 I rsponded to a question from Powernate, which became a huge Electrolux thread. That is # 19227, titled Lux model 30/XXX tools. It is devoted to the XXX, and the LX. Somewhere Imentioned the weight stripped down and with tools. This is in the archives, and easy...

Paul. I just did a weight test with me holding my LX with winder and tools, it is 25 pounds.

Early Electrolux data. Hi Paul: I recall mentioning the weight of the LX way back around 2013. Based on my own tests the LX is twenty pouds, with cord winer and tools its 25. If you find other info, please tell me.

Happy LX & LXI Thanks for letting us know.

First pic, clearly a model LX with companion (tool holder) but no cord winder.

Both. Pic 1 shows the model LX which the Johnson's must have, but in picture 2 its a model E that belongs to the Baxter's. However, Hazel has also been seen using a Modern Hygine.

Handi-Butler. The main reason was to have something to interest the husband watching the demo. Same thing with the spray gun. All he thought of was killing the bugs attacking the flower garden.

Thanks for the correction, I was going on memory of the wet pick-up.

Electrolux Patents. Paul, this is what I want to touch base with you about. My patent books that I began compiling in 1979. [this post was last edited: 1/17/2025-18:35]

Pic # 3, figs 7 and 8 shows the wet pick-up, tank and baffle respectfully.

Wonderful, this is the patent I have that is buried in my files, glad you posted it. Send me an email at [email protected], we need to talk privately.[this post was last edited: 1/17/2025-18:18]

Thanks Paul, I'm loving these.

Missellania. Paul, I just renewed my membership for 30 days. I have Electrolux Material that I want to share. Message me and let's get things started. Alex.

I lived through the Cedar fire of October, 2003. It came within blocks of my house in La Mesa. So I know the terror of what's ravishing Los Angeles now. As I said, everybody is in my prayers. Alex Taber.

Thank you Paul. And let me say to all those threatened by the Los Angeles wildfires, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I know this all too well as I lived through the fires of San Diego in 2003.

60 or 61st anniversary of the first commercial Electrolux. Model C-A, 1964.

Health-Mor upright. Very impressive. I also have one with a full set of attachments, including small bag. These were great machines but as far as I know, it was the only upright before they went with the canister design.

Hi Kirbyman65. The Whirlwind was a non-electric, hand crank device, but as you see, had all the components of traditional uprights that were to follow. Without doubt the Electric Suction Sweeper, which became the Hoover model O was the first practical machine. However, James B. Kirby also had...

Actually the machine pictured above is one of the first pneumatic vacuum cleaners, but the term 'Worlds Oldest' is incorrect as the the first vacuum cleaner was invented in Chicago, Illinois in 1869. Inventor was Ives W. McGaffy, and called the Whirlwind.
