Help trying to figure out what my Granny's last vacuum cleaner was!

[supermaticjames]

Hi guys,

Some you will know me from Discuss-o-Mat under the same username. I'll cut to the chase! My Granny had a canister type Electrolux vacuum cleaner that also had a facility to shampoo carpets. She had it until around 2003 when it conked out but it never gave her any trouble until then. It was a very sturdy cleaner, it was definitely made before 1995 (year I was born) and probably would have been sold in Europe only. It had a white plastic canister and a grey top housing the motor and the little stub that the shampoo hose plugged into. On the top there was a green power button and a blue shampoo button (the functions may be the reverse of what I have stated). I cannot find this model anywhere on eBay. Could you maybe help?

The most I can do is draw a picture for you?

Regards, James.

Hi,

Hi, From what you've described it sounds like a Electrolux Masterlux like in this thread.

Let us know if it is what your granny had.

THAT'S IT JAMES!

So nice to finally find out what it is and see a picture of one after a decade! I'm feeling old now! Were they any good at all? I want to find one again to satisfy my childhood memories of the thing. I'm guessing they might be hard to find?
