Quiet Vacuum reply

Some quiet vacuum are Some vintage Electrolux such as model 86 ,88,89 and some
Filter queen as mention above my Compact Electra C9 canister vacuum is some what quiet . I would add that some vintage Rainbow and Panasonic this is my opinion .
 
electrolux model g is by far the quiestest ive encountered. , hoover constellation would be next. the old metal based hoover convertibles are also quiet for an upright. its really the only upright where you can run it and have a conversation at normal voice levels and still hear the other conversier.
 
I would have to say...

My Electrolux model XXX. It is probbibly the quietest vacuum I have ever used.
 
Probably the quietest vacuum I own is my Electrolux Ultra Silent (Actually a Eureka Product), a new machine, very powerful, only 8 amps, but the air movement is louder than the vacuum. My Miele is also very quiet. I would also agree with those who have posted above, the Original Electrolux G is very quiet, the Hospital G is even more quiet.

I also felt the Hoover Dial-A-Matics were quiet for an upright machine.
 
I've been looking for a quieter vacuum than my kirby. I'll have to look a the Electrolux models
 
A Saniway

Or it's Kingston or Royal equivalent, is a very quiet machine, as is a Apex Strato Cleaner, by far the quietest upright is a Royal 801.
 
The Electrolux Model XXX and Model G are definitely two of the quietest for me.  However, add the power nozzle to the Model G and the decibels go through the roof! 
 
Yes, the Hoover Constellation is very quiet too.  In fact, when people are at my house, looking at my vacuum collection, I always pull out the Constellation and fire it up.  After seeing it in operation, they begin to understand that I can be FUN to collect vacuums!
 
The Rexair models A,B, and C are the quietest canisters I've ever heard, followed by the Electrolux model 12, and 30. Model 200 Filter Queens are almost silent as well. My two Hospital Model G Electrolux cleaners are the quietest "modern" cleaners I have.

I picked up this Little guy for $30. A model F. It's nearly silent compared to my kirby. Came with 8 bags, floor nozzle and upholstery/brush tool.

One thing that I've noticed is it has a funny smell. Almost like ozone with a hint of gas. Anyone else have this? how hard is it to take one of these apart to clean it out? (and hopefully get rid of that smell.

Congrats on your purchase--$30.00 was a fair price.

To answer your questions the odor of your cleaner is not typical, and they are pretty easy to dismantle and reassemble for cleaning the inside and the motor which should solve the issue.

The Electrolux Corporation's Model Fs were manufactured from 1957 to 1961 as the deluxe model. Judging by the "donut"-style cord winder (versus the older "pancake"-style one) I would guess that yours is a later rendition; although it may have been switched out at some point, too.

While the combination floor/rug tool appears original (based on the colors of the gray brush plate and the ivory bumper) the teal-colored dusting brush/upholstery tool color was matched to the later Model 1205 (1968-74) or teal Model L of the same period. Also, the hose is a generic replacement, and the plastic wands do not appear to be made by Electrolux unless they came from a plastic-bodied model. The original wands would have been stainless steel. The complete set of accessories would also have included a power nozzle (Model PN-1) and a narrow space cleaner. The originals would have been gray to match the primary color of the cleaner. I can't tell, though, if your machine has a power nozzle port in its handle trim (the power nozzles were introduced in 1959; so cleaners made prior to that time were straight suction only).

Nonetheless, the Model F is one of Electrolux Corporation's finest and should serve you well with some TLC.

It has not port for a power nozzle, so pre '59? :) I'll have to crack it open and see what i can do.

I saw a post doing a search saying you wan just wash all the motor parts in soapy water and reasemble it when it is completely dry!!?

What about parts? I know Bill is the guy to go to for kirby parts. Is there anyone who is a "Bill" for Electroluxes?

Thnaks for everyones help! this has been an awesome place to visit!
