Vintage Lover

[vintage lover]

good evening. i have several products from the 70's and 80's Electrolux and Rainbow. i would rather use these than get something that is made today. The latest vacuum added to my collection, which was last month, was the AP100 series. all the attachments, bags, filters, and the manual. Oh and the Handkit. i still wished they made those green scented room fresheners that you put in the air filter. Oh and the case as well! It's quiet but it functions very well. It's a pleasure to use. I also have the Sidekick. I so wish they would make vacuums like the ap 100 200, or even even the E2000 series today. I also like the old sewing machines. i got Singer 401A. That is a lovely machine.

Welcome aboard! With vacuums from the 70's and 80's, I think you'll enjoy our vintage forum. My collection is almost all vintage, with my newest machines being from the 70's and 80's. Although my collection is mostly Royal, Electro-Hygiene, and Hoover, I do have a few Luxes, newest of them being a model G from the 60's. And like you said, I would much rather use these than anything made today!

Welcome! I agree they just don't make 'em like they used to. My collection is mostly Electrolux, Kirby, and Eureka/Sanitaire.

Thank you for linking that site Paul, it took a fair bit of digging to find nothing!
