Some new finds for me

Ultra performer

Yes it is , That is an entry level aeg, its sold as a AEG in many country's and is actually a very good machine for its price. They are made by Kingclean One of the largest manufacturers of vacuum cleaners, Thye have both there own design and do assembly for Morphy Richards, Electrolux/Eureka, AEG, Volta, Russell Hobs( this and one other model ) to name a few. They are definetly one of the better Chinese manufacturers. This model is far better built than anything I have seen with a Russell Hobs badge.

Vintage repairer

I was referring to Sebofans post about it been auto rewinding which I took it as been Like that of many of the Top of the range Electrolux and AEG cyinders where you just tug once on the cord and it retracts. ( not something I like despite loving the twin clean )

 

[vintagerepairer]

Gsheen, yes thats what I thought you meant. We call all spring loaded winders "automatic", irrespective of the method for unlocking the cord. It is confusing.

I also meant to say they were a rare sight on UPRIGHT cleaners in the UK. Most cylinders do still have them.

Cool machines

That's quite a variety you picked up. Didn't know the pure powers were available over there. I like the lux 290 you have in the background we had a similar one I think it was the 180 it's black and white then it was updated to 1185 slimline electronic. Been trying to find one of those for years. Don't suppose you fancy selling and shipping the power plus with dust cup to the uk do you it's behind the national. That's a cool looking machine as well
Congrats on your finds

The main problem that "upright brands" have often responded when I've emailed has been that the mechanics of an auto cord rewind often break early on when applied to an upright vacuum cleaner. Shame I don't agree - my old green Panasonic upright had a fairly reliable auto cord rewind for many years including a brush roll on/off function - both functions are only now beginning to reappear on certain brands - but at a cost.

Indeed, that unique Siemens/Bosch upright with the cord reel is sold in the USA under TTI's Vax and Dirt Devil brand names. See the link below...

Forgot to say, the X3 and X5 were also sold in Australia.

Hi David

The Pure power was not sold in SA this was brought back by some one moving to SA a common occurrence.

The dust cup is not for Sale sorry Its the only one I have and it needs allot of work.

The Electrolux 180 was the predecessor to the 290 The main difference is the rear wheels are large and exposed ( circa elux 350 style )Possibly more like your guys 1185. This model also came in deep red, we also got a 260 model in a lavender Blue

A few new arrivals, I actually got some of these last week and was going to tell you guys all about them but then, You know those youtube video's were the guy climbs to the top of the ladder and the ladder slides down, well that happened to me on a lader I had climbed a few times that day, I ended up kissing the concrete below with my bottom jaw and then fore head, Some how my wrist laded under the ladder, NOT GOOD and my elbow also Kissed the concrete so I was pretty bashed up and have been wearing a sling most of the week to my disgust. I am a very active person and dont like to be held down for any reason. But here they are

First up my Holand Electro Very rare I have only ever seen one of these before and this might be the same one, No pipes but thats never stopped me before, Oh wait yest it has.

 

[suckolux]
