Please post your favorite Holiday Appliance(s) print ad(s)/ad campaigns and TV commercial(s)—vintage and contemporary—on this thread.

I'll start with one of my favorite vintage ad campaigns: G-E's RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED REINDEER Christmas TV Special theme used from 1964 to 1967.

1964 TV commercials:

Very cool, Elliot, thanks! Not surprisingly, some of the ads are quite similar to those in the US.

Yes they are. I had trouble finding US ads because of my location. ( I think)

All good; the intent was for any holiday appliance ads to be posted—no matter the country.

 

[centralsweeper63]

I was happy to find any.

I loved those Dirt Devil ads with the puppies, I remember one of them from when I was a kid.

I hope I get at least a vacuum this christmas ...but it will likely be me gifting it to myself

I love how they had them as a mascot of sorts for a number of years. I would love an Electrolux Z73, Z74 or Z75 under the tree. I am not holding my breath though.

Here's an old one from Premier

Make it the BEST Christmas. Give her an Air-Way and you give her the gift of sanitation.

If I were you I would begin/expand your floor & surface appliance collector network. That way, others could be on the lookout for you and vice versa.

This post is a good start. You could also add the models to your dream list on your VL account page (think about categorizing them by brand with spacing in between the brands like this to increase clarity:

Electrolux: ambassador 338; d720/pn; za65; z56

Hoover: 262; constellation with rare reusable bag x2; 612

Sebo: k3 premium

Thank you, I do have a BIG dream list, though it never crossed my mind to make it public. Thanks a tonne.

You're welcome.

You do know that anyone can view your account page with the fill-ins, right?

 

[centralsweeper63]

Yeah, I have just done that. You could have a look if you want.

I have that newer model in the top ad, I got it from Goodwill as just the machine for only $15! It's packed full of ladybugs for whatever reason, it's insane. Never seen so many in my life. It looks like it was abandoned in a shed for decades.

I've also seen that older Sanitizor model maybe half a dozen times, and even seen one in purple, but could never find one for a good deal. People want over $100 for those all the time.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Did you buy any of them.
