Best User Manuals Poll & Personal Favorite(s)

[paul]

Hi Vacuumlanders,

I invite you to take the worldwide poll, then post a photo or more of the cover(s) of your favorite vintage floor/surface care appliance user manual and its/their exact or approximate copyright year(s).

Btw, if you select "other" in the poll, name it in a post.

My favourite is my mid to late 60s Electrolux ZC89 manual. It is currently in storage so I can't get a photo, sorry. Great thread idea, Paul!

Thanks, Elliott!

You can still take the poll.

I put other, as NZ Electrolux is a bit different. Although, I do like the Canadian ZB88 manual.

Ah, I wondered about that after I replied; technically, though 'Electrolux' is meant to be worldwide inclusive along with any other international brands.

A few of my favorite covers:

1. Electrolux B-8 (c.1966-1967) for the tan B-8 Carpet Beautifier

2. Eureka Empress 1100 (c.1965)

3. Hamilton Beach 410 (c.1963)

Nice Hamilton Beach brochure. I will change my vote.

Hard to pick just one, because they ALL had pretty good manuals at some point. Air-Way, Hoover, Filter Queen, Kirby and Electrolux always had good, well-detailed books. Royal and Electro Hygiene depended on the year--some years had books or folders, some just had a simple card.
