Aerus VS Electrolux

[floor-a-matic]

Did anyone outside N. America get these vacs like this? If so, what brand there was OUR Electrolux (now Aerus)?

THe beloved old Electroluxes were only sold in the US mainly and different models were manufactured and sold in Canada with a few exceptions I believe.. There were some common elements to the attachments etc and some radically different , the hose connections were also different between the US and Canadian Eluxes. The Super J for one was sold in Canada and not sure about others.. Doug would know.

SUPER» J

I think SUPER J model was at the beginning oly sold in United States. But when Electrolux's Canadian employees went on strike, They decided to sell SUPER J in Canada.

re the Super J in Canada.. yeah that sounds right. I found mine here in town at the Goodwill or SallyAnn but I can never be sure with some things since I'm in a border town it's always quite possible that people bought something in Michigan

The one my parents bought new.

All 3 Electrolux vacs are the QUIETEST vacs ever. I wouldn't touch the new "screamers" of today!
