latest "Elite" acquisition

[bvac6]

I picked this up at a local ReNew store for ten bucks. I love Elites especially soft bag models!

Very nice. Strawbridges uses to sell this model among some other retailers. I love how energy efficient these are with the stated 7.2 Amp motor and 17.0 CEA ratings on the hoods.

Nice find. I liked that color combination. These came out around 1994, I have a JCPenney catalog with one also. Did it come with the hose and any tools? I have seen a lot of Elites around at thrift stores, but they annoyingly rarely have the hose and tools on them. I guess they get lost because people are too lazy to put them back in their spots on the machine, or they can't figure out how.

tools

Unfortunately all the tools and hose were missing.

I have always loved Elites!

I've only got three at the moment, but if I see them at thrift stores they are definitely coming home with me. I couldn't leave one behind if I wanted to!

Nice

I to like Elite Style machines and I have four. Here's a picture, they're lined up oldest to newest.

I have that same style, but not that particularly popular white model. I'd post a picture of all my elites, but it would take my whole living room and an hour to set them all up!
