Electrolux canister roundup - part of my collection

Rounded some of them up for a photo op..


They seem to multiply, and this is not all of them.

They multiply like rabbits, I'm waiting to see what happens when the Rainbows mate with the Electrolux or the Kirbys or the Hoovers. I think when the Hoovers and Kirbys mate you get a Hooby.

What is the one next to the 1205? It looks like ultra lux or grand Marquee but has the older switch.

The one next to the 1205 is an Olympia One resurrected.

Oh ok well that's why I didn't recognize it.

Olympia One

I really like how that Olympia One turned out! I rebuilt a 1205 Golden Jubilee with my daughter some time back and didn't stick with the factory color scheme either! While most of the time I am a purist, there are times changing it up doesn't hurt one bit! One thing you can say about a machine like that....it's yours and there isn't another one quite like it! GREAT lineup of Electrolux machines you have there by the way!

some more .. I am sure I am missing a few


Included here is the blue Olympia One next to an original.


A Silverado is on the "must get list", yet these others keep popping up.

Weight!


the plastic canisters weigh about 4 lbs less than the metal canister ones (coming in at just under 13 lbs) 


The Super J variants weigh in just over 17 lbs.


As expected, the 1205 slightly under 17 lbs, followed by the Diamond Jubilee at just over 15 lbs.
