Many of the New Electrolux machines you guys get in your stores are sold as AEG in Europe and South Africa, what you guys call eureka is sold as Electrolux to Europe and South Africa, Machines like the ultra active ultra silencer Ultra one oxy3 and many more are all badged AEG by Electrolux here
Australia however calls some Electrolux products are called Volta and others Electrolux.
Here is our AEg ultra active Please note the lack of a PN!!! |

Hell yea
confusion regns supreme with Electrolux.
Although I have never seen one yet I also think the old USA Electrolux was a better machine.
What I believe now happens is that Canister aeg and electrolux& eureka machines are designed mostly by Electrolux in sweden and some in china. Upright models are designed by Eureka in the USA. I used to work for Electrolux SA a division of Electrolux ab in the R&D department, it was loads of fun |

They do , will they did last time I checked , I bought one from the Uk and shipped it to SA, they came in white and work really well.
I bought it for the cleaning company we owned , it outlasted the sebo's 10 to 1. I think we ended up bringing in 10. great vacs
I'm not a big fan of sebo , there ok but no were near as good as people think they are, the plastic breaks easily, the motors don't last long and cost a fortune to replace, thats my biggest complaint with them, spares. we were spending upwards of £ 150.00 a month on each machine just to maintain them, and then add in bags aswell.
we used 360, 370, x1 x3 g1, they look good when new but are not made the way they used to be. I like the way they work and have a few in my collection but they are not built to last
at one stage we just bought cheep hoover bag less vacuums , they not only outlasted the sebo's but actually cleaned better two and i could buy one a week and still not spend any were near what we spent on sebo maintenance. This post was last edited 09/29/2011 at 16:40 |

build the new Eurektralux vacuums . Those are made by Eureka .Aerus is doing really well . They didn`t sell the name Eureka took it back after the real Electrolux built up it`s reputation. Now they claim (eureka) that they are the Electrolux you grew up with or that Grandma had . Thats how they advertise on QVC and I think it`s a total lie .

Dan The machines you guys now call Electrolux are manufactured By Electrolux ab in the EU. mainly in Hungary Eureka machines are mainly manufactured by a company called KingClean in the Jiangsu province in China. Kinclean manufactures allot of vacuums for allot of different companys. Basically you ask them to manufacture your goods for you.They do Eureka Russel hobs, Morphy richards to name a few.

No Offence David but you live in a country were you are taxed on any and everything , your goverment decides what you do and when you do it and your whole life is monitored by cctv cameras, your car can be taken away and crushed if you speed . I.ve been to china , they are free,er than you and me both.
Its nothing like you think at all . its a beautiful place with a vibrant culture.

They're not here for the food! Thet told me how they ARE "allowed" only one child. IF they have others, they must PAY ther government to "count them". If not, they are discarded. A group of THEM live in fields, and they are known as, are you ready?? "the black people"!!!!!! They meet similar people, become families, and continue that way. Factory workers aren't ever allowed to use, have, buy ANY of the products sent over here. MOST have absolutely no idea that another life exists outside of their own, and, the govt WANTS it that way. Some are sent over here, educated, then sent back over there. One student told me that her sister makes Ralph Lauren clothes in a factory. She makes about 22 CENTS an hour....in 2011 !!!!!!!! When asked, they ALL say that there is So much over here. BUT, they still love China...SOME, only some, refer to us as the "dumb Americans". and, when a baby BOY is born, they're thrilled. When a girl is born, they really don't care too much. Sad, really. Sometimes, they give the girl away. I taught a woman who was SOLD as a child. My aunt went there on a vacation. She said it was filthy, they all got sick, Kaopectate was in high demand. She's glad she saw it all, but would NEVER go back. I'm NOT BASHING.... do I bash? NEVER.. I'm just relaying what the real Chinese told me. AND, the "Chinese" food we buy over HERE is like Chinese fast food.....they never eat it. It's like "Asian Mc Donalds" to them. With all of the Elextrolux, Aerus, etc.... i hope there's no TEST. My head is spinning from the transactions. I'm not bashing electrolux... do I bash? Never. |

And, I MEANT, ALL of our beloved vacs ...to be made here, once again. Can you imagine what would happen over "there' if, when some people stand up, revolt, whatever? They need a Rosa parks........ There will be a riot to end all riots! Some HOOVER bags, etc, are still made here. Some are made in Texas...I'm sure parts were made......................... I'm getting tidbits about the potential TTI... but can't discss until it becomes clearer, closer, more officcial. |

hey guys , I never ment to upset any one, I.ve been to china many times, all on business while working for vacuum manufactureres and like any country there are bad and good sides.there are some horrendous human rights issues going on there but there are allot in the rest of the world as well
I do howver think that people tend to veiw it as a giant sweat shop. while I know these do exist, the vacuum factory's I went to are run with such precision it would make a german factory look backwards. the streets are cleaner than most European city's I've been to. yes there are problems but show me a country with out them.
As for vacuums been made there I blame all our governments for no tax incentives to many unions and making importation the cheaper option. when I worked for Electrolux here in SA we manufactured every vacuum we sold here even when import duties dropped most machine were still made here and we exported too. However striking workers always looking for more and more pay ended the company's production facility's for ever. It was better to import, no striking workers no delays in delivery.
I can still remember them warning the factory workers that if the strikes carried on they would simply close the factory, they didn't take the warning seriously and boom a few months later with yet another strike pending they retrenched 500 factory staff and most of the R&D staff leaving 20 factory staff and 2 R&D staff to continue with the 2 products they would still make her, 3 years ago they shut that down too |

I think SUPER J model was at the beginning oly sold in United States. But when Electrolux's Canadian employees went on strike, They decided to sell SUPER J in Canada. |

re the Super J in Canada.. yeah that sounds right. I found mine here in town at the Goodwill or SallyAnn but I can never be sure with some things since I'm in a border town it's always quite possible that people bought something in Michigan |
