Electrolux Model CA

The CA is such an interesting machine. Mine looks decent but I am missing the long hose it would have came with originally. If I had that and extra bags, I would use it more often. However, bags are No Longer Available. I believe these have 735 Watt motors, unlike the 535 watt motors in the model G. Congratulations on your find. Your other machines look great as well.

I love the model CA. Got this one from my good friend and former VCCC member, Evan Rogers. The only other one I know of was left behind the front desk at a hotel several years ago. It had been there more than a year and they gave it to someone (I don't remember who) that was a vac collector when he stayed at that hotel.

This is my CA: It has an extra long hose and hose cord (note the comparison to the 'normal' model G hose and hose cord in the picture).

The paper bag is huge. I have a supply of paper bags, and got a brand new old stock cloth bag, from Rich Luisi (Aerus Lux Vice President) - he's a great friend and always on the lookout for me.

The CA uses a 535 watt motor. It also has a fiberglass 'hepa' filter and muffler. Rich Luisi sent me a brand new one for the Museum's CA.

They are extremely quiet, like a Hospital G.

Interesting

I didn't know that different CAs used different motors. I double checked and mine has a 700 watt motor. It is also noticeably louder than my Gs.
