bob, thats funny. the same thoughts come to mind when i see the Hoover Constellation being referred to as "connie". i also think "Katie" is a dubious (name) choice for a network news persona. |

Anybody have any idea why the name 'Electrolux' was shortened to 'Electrux' on some UK machines, such as the ZA48? |

Now I can't justify the name "Connie" except as a term of endearment for the Hoover Constellation. Remember, this is a club site, set up and paid for by and primarily for members of the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Club, but also for those with an interest in vacuum cleaners. Visitors are totally welcome. If you visit here, however, expect to converse with club members who have "nicknames" for favorite machines.

Is my pet name for the Electrolux Rennaisance. The Eureka canisters are sometimes refered to as "Canned hams" or "tear drops" |
