Funky design
This looks rather fun.
The handle resonates with European Lux models from 1960 onwards, the floor nozzles appear similar to the "Universal" prevuously shown and there is a "butterfly" upholstry/dusting nozzle too

I wish we knew more about these
I only hope that the person who has done such a wonderful job restoring these cleaners looks in on here, and hopefully will be able to contribute at some point.
There were no uprights and no Hoovers in the vacuums but at least two of the washers were very clearly based on the Hoovermatic, one on AEG and one like a early Maytag twin tub hybrid - nothing at all like the later maytag twin tub.
It would be interesting to know how these machines came about - were they liscensed? Or were samples procured, taken apart and put back together again with a Russian twist?

fantastic!
These pictures are fantastic, Al! Thanks for supplying.
And this streamlined rocket sledge (Unversal)
I love best our little Sputnik Connie in the video. To bad I cannot read Kyrillic.
Thanks so much everyone.
Funny how different components of Western brands seem to have influenced these models.

Russian Vacuums
Vacuum cleaner "Satellite" in the video belongs to me.
He called "Saturnas".
It looks like a planet Saturn, with ring. It was made in Lithuania. In 1964.
Vacuum cleaner that looks like a "Lewyt", called "Moscow".
The first blue vacuum called Seagull.
The second blue vacuum called Rocket.
2 vacuum cleaner that looks like Fairfax, the first
in the photo is called a Vortex, the second is called "PMZ". I don't know, but i think that second called Prokopevskiy Mehanicheskiy Zavod. (ENG: Prokopyevsky Mechanical Plant.)
The brown bakelite stick vacuum called "Ural".The green stick vacuum, I don't see name. The green "Funky design" called also "Seagull".

Firstly, I see that you joined vacuumland at the start of 2013 so a belated welcome to you
Thank you for the information which you have supplied about the cleaners and also for the pictures you have provided about the Saturnas, it looks really great and in a way is like an ancester to the Hoover galaxy we had here around the end of the 1980s. Can you tell me please, is the floor brush pictured above made of plastic or has the metal been coloured to give that effect (I like it)?
If you have any more pictures or information on cleaners do please feel free to share it with us - it is very interesting (at least it is to me) to see appliances from a major part of the world which for so many years was closed to us.
I liked your washing machine videos too. Are you aware of www.automaticwasher.org?
If not you may like to have a look at the link below, this is about washing machines apparently owned by ther person who also has the vacuums.
