Volta U157A 1976

[markus79]

Hi!
I found this orange Volta U157A yesterday. It look nearly new! It cost only 11,20 euros to me. I got the same vacuum a couple of years ago but it was missing the floor tool, now I got a whole packet. It is very powerful with 850W motor.

I hope you like this=)

Best regards
Markus

I just love the colour. What a great buy! It looks like it was hardly used! Good find.

Thats very similar to the Volta U155 that was sold in Canada.

Like it must be the understatement of the century. I adore it.

Dear Markus,
you always find great and beautiful vacuum cleaners, I'd be glad to see a picture or have a list of your whole collection, that would be great!

Hi Tommy.
I also like your vacuums=) I collect mostly Electrolux, Volta, Nilfisk, Philips and Hoover cleaners. I have about 150 vacuums right now but not so much space to keep them visible, most of them are in boxes right now. I will put some photos on my collection. Actually I found last weekend a brand new never used Nilfisk GA70 in it´s original box from 1976. I will put some photos when I get it.

Greeting from not so hot but windy Finland=)

Best Regards
Markus

Hi markus! Well, I could dye for a NIB Nilfisk ga 70! I really love nilfisks and watched your videos several times! Becoming a little bit envious now! Xxx t

Came across a YT video featuring the "Electrolux Volta" Z306, with the U157A appearing on the feed.

Subsequent clicks led me to discover some others in the same design: Volta U157, Electrolux Z310, and Electrolux Z311. There was also a Volta model U156 I saw in a parts list that may have been also been another iteration, but I found no online photo or other information for it and no Viking rendition.

Appears to be similar in overall design to the Z65. Classic.

I have the Volta U155 which is another version (note it has the power nozzle connection)
