Electrolux Model AE Debut (December 1956 ad)

[ronni]

thanks for the information, Charles.

A couple more ponderings ...

1) Is it true that Electrolux received the "Good Housekeeping" seal because it advertised in its magazine, or was there some type of performance test involved?

2) Has Aerus continued to advertise in Good Housekeeping, and have current and late machines received the "GH" designation?

3) Going back ... Do you have a copy of the CA manual? I was wondering if it came out in 1963 like the Model GHs and Model L?

4) Do any of your early Model G manuals show the Turbotool instead of the Rug Washer?

Good Housekeeping has it's own lab that machines must pass to get the seal. Many Electrolux have received the seal and here are two in the following spots.

tig21er,


 


Have there been any similar advertisements since the name change? I've not been able to find any... though I haven't devoted a huge amount of time to doing so.

the GH and the CA both came out in 1962. The CA was a great cleaner but the run of it was short lived due to cost. It was replaced by the CB.

try to keep every piece of information about all tests and company literature.

Thanks for the information and scans, John. It's good that you've kept your vintage documents rather than discard them like Aerus has presumably done.

I'm also curious, along with Tom, if you have any Aerus ads from Good Housekeeping, and how about one of the 1980 Olympia One that mentions it as the official cleaner of the Winter Olympics?

Also, do you know when the Rug Washer debuted? Both my 1960 Model R and 1960 Model G manuals show the newer Rug Washer instead of the attachment that went on the Turbotool. In fact, I've never seen a manual besides the Model F's showing the Rug Washer attached to the Turbotool. That makes me wonder if the new Rug Washer was introduced very early in the run of the Model G instead of a couple years later as I've always thought.

NO.

I don't know.

I don't have a copy of the CA manual. I believe it came out in 1962.

YES.

I have a copy of both CA instruction manuals, one labeled "Electrolux" and one labeled "White Mop Wringer Company". The CA was also sold as a "white".

CA manual

I have seen a later CA manual that has more information and cautions when using wet pick up tank but could not get or copy.These were colored and embossed to be a similar quality to a Cadillac sales brochure or other quality printing.

Turbotool Rug Washer page from early Model G manual (the 1960 copyright year obviously was not updated when newer versions of the manuals were printed with the new Turbo Rug Washer) One would take for granted that the Model R manual had a similar page:
