Kent Commercial Vacuum.

[ian88]

I was blithely cruising through Cyberspace just now and I came upon this on Ebay, fair enough..standard Electrolux/Eureka style Commercial upright..

BUT..

Why has it got the same logo as European Electrolux? any American members able to shed any light on this? or indeed, British ones..

It's a Eureka / Sanitaire which is owned by Electrolux is why.

Damn confusing corporate landscape..

Apparently now they're made by Nilfisk, just to overcomplicate matters even more ;]

It does get cornfuzing. The other day when I went to a local vac shop to get those Concept One belts they had the Sanitaires that look just like that Kent. As well they had Panasonic Commercials and then another near identical Panasonic but with a different name and yellow in colour, both like the Jet Flos

For all intents and purposes Panasonic still makes the jetflo, their whole Commercial upright range looks virtually identical lol.

Guess it was a good design indeed ;]
