Double trouble
Close up
No, its not photoshop - I actually got two from the same seller, and at a very reasonable price too. He literally had a huge pile of vacuums which filled his garage which he had to climb over - fortunatly he is a great deal lighter and considerably more agile than I am!

Gloriously red
There were two red finishes for this cleaner, the later one does not have the stripy material. needless to say, that is still on the want list. There was also black and olive green in this finish. Although the cleaners were quite grubby when I got them they both cleaned up well and run well too - one is somewhat older than the other, but actually runs the best of the two

This cleaner used a push lock fitting for the hose - only ever seen on this model. It was Hoovers TOL from around 1964 to 1969.

Electrolux BOL
This must have been one of Electrolux's longest running designs - first in beige brown (model 87) from around 1970 and then in yellow (model 96) from 1979 until the late 1980s.
The flex should be grey not black, although the black adds a certain "waspish" quality (groan!)

But from some reason
All BOL models from WW2 until 1980s were actually noted on the ratings plate as Electrux

Money shot
This machine was designed to be sold with shake out bags only - there is no mention of paper bags in the instructions - how BOL is that?

A while back I posted about finding an earlier version of this cleaner, which had been on my want list from the start too - I only found out about this later model about 2 or three years ago, when ChesterMike turned one up. The earlier one was the one I really wanted but I could not resist this when it came up

Holland Electro
Yes, its based on the Lewyt.
That floor tool is probably the most frequently seen "generic" replacement, although it seems to have been designed for this cleaner
