Wonder how

… the cv7 compares with the old cv7 type?

Wow

That is pretty cool. They use the same design but newer technology making it quieter and more efficient.
I'm not versed in this model but I'm guessing a Canadian version of Electrolux?

As far as I can see, the machine has nothing to do with Canada. It is a British machine, based on the old British Vacuum Cleaner / Goblin models (as in Hubert Cecil Booth).

I think you're confusing the 110 volts with Canada.

It is perfectly common for UK builders, contractors, etc., to use electric drills and other machinery - including vacuum cleaners - via a 240v-to-110v step-down isolating transformer, especially where dampness/water is prevalent.
