OK, saw the episode of Hazel just now thats all about a vacuum cleaner called a "Davidson" (ficticous.) This episode Looks to be from around 1964-65 ish, it is called "Hazel and the Stock Holder's Meeting".
The machine itself is a made up Hollywood prop, looks like it was made from a retangle metal tool box. Or a metal toy pedal car of the time.
It is painted green,has several gadgets bolted on the sides and top, and has 3 large ball bearing type wheels attached on the bottom. There is a large handle of some sort bolted to the top of this box.
The hose and attachments are off of an ELectrolux,,but there is a scene where the attachments are shown in a cardboard carrying/display case.(non Electrolux)
The floor tool and hose are definatly Electolux, Model XXX.
They have the hose attached to the top of this box. It is definaly an Electrolux hose end going into the machine (box).
Dont know for sure if there is an actual motor in the box or if the motor sound of the vacuum being used is dubbed in. There is a cord reel tho(inside the box evidently),,several scenes have Hazel pulling the cord out like an Electrolux.
Makes you wonder if there is an Electrolux inside this box.
It seems Hazel has bought some stock in this Vacuum Cleaner Company called "Davidson". Mr Baxter also owns stock in it.
Hazel just happens to need a new vacuum,,and buys one, all to Mr. Baxter's displeasure,,it costs 187.50!
The next scene the salesman is showing Hazel and family all the features of the new "Davidson",,,and almost immediatly its making a strange noise. (definatly dubbed in sounds, you can tell)
Then there is one problem after another with the Davidson,,it spews dust, it keeps making strange noises,ect,,,even after a repairman has been to the house several times. Mr Baxter is ready to wring Hazel's neck by this time.
Well, come to find out, there is a stock holders meeting that very day, and Hazel shows up with her Davidson in hand. She shows the stockholders all the problems with the machine,,and saves the day by saving Mr. Davidson's job, after he gives a speech about how the quality of the machine has declined since new members of the board had taken over.
The last scene, Mr. Davidson himself brings a new cleaner to the Baxter residence, and Hazel fires it up and goes on her merry way vaccuming up a storm. The Baxter family is happy and all is right with the world.
