Electrolux Velocity

[rdwdcp]

Here is a picture of an Electrolux Velocity. This vacuum cleaner was in a holiday cottage we went to last year. It didn't sound very healthy!

How dare they use the good Electrolux name on that!

That was sold under the Eureka brand in USA.

Ahh. The Eureka Maxima. What a steaming pile of S**t that was. These things clog way too quickly, they are loud, they leak dust like crazy and the build quality is non existent. I'm surprised they even have a vacuum at that cottage. Usually, they only have a broom. I stayed in one cottage that had a Eureka Maxima that was clogged and the hose was full of holes. It had dust all over it.

Adin, get it right! That wasn't the Eureka Maxima here, that was the Eureka Altima name this particular upright was sold under. Either way, though, both are disposable crap.

I have a deep seated hatred for the Eureka Altima/Electrolux Velocity.

Despite the filtration method it uses, I actually like these to be quite honest here. I know the bagged versions are better but I wouldn't mind cleaning the filters if I only used it once every while like a couple months or so but not if I used it every week.

The Electrolux Velocity is a rare Vacuum Cleaner and it looks nice

It’s rare because they were rubbish, unreliable and irreparable when they broke

Have you had an Electrolux Velocity before? If so witch wattage was it?

Turbo500 has two Electrolux Velocitys. A white one in his loft that doesn't work any more and a blue coloured one in his house that he uses most days.

Sorry that’s not true.
I don’t have any bagless vacuums, let alone a Velocity. I have used a fair few over the years though and wasn’t impressed, although they were marginally better than the Vitesse

My friends Mum had a blue animal model. 1800w, I think, with a turbo brush mounted on the front.

We got the "Electrolux" Velocity as the Eureka Altima over here in the U.S. of A. From what I can tell, the Eureka Altima seems to be more feature rich than the Electrolux Velocity, despite the fact that the two vacuums share the same design. The Eureka Altima had the self cleaning duster, turbo brush, stretch hose, etc. while the Electrolux Velocity seems to be a more basic cleaner. Eureka also had another vacuum that was similar to the Eureka Altima called the Eureka Uno, which was basically a Eureka Altima with a Eureka Optima style telescopic handle. If I remember correctly, the Eureka Altima was available in yellow, red, and blue. I trash picked a red one once, and was far from impressed. I hated it so much I returned it to it's rightful place in the garbage can. Apparently, a lot of other people hate it too, judging by the two star average on Best Buy's website. I've attached pictures of both the Eureka Altima (first pic) and the Eureka Uno (second pic).

Thanks for sharing these pictures very interesting information about the Eureka Altima and the Electrolux Velocity. Here in the UK we have the Electrolux Loopie which was like the Eureka Uno. Again thanks for commenting and sharing these pictures.
