I was given a free ticket to a home and garden show at our local arena. As I was perusing the area, I cam upon an Electrolux demonstration. They were showing a new "Lux" machine as well as uprights. On the wall was a big poster of ALL the machines up to now. I saw all of the cleaners that y'all love so much.He was making a big pitch to a woman, "If you buy this TODAY for $1300.00, I'll throw in an air purifier, valued at $500. You'll never buy another vacuum again". She replied, "Hm I already spent $500.00 on a Dyson. I'll have to think about it". He looked at me and said, "What about YOU, sir"? I replied, "Sorry, I work for HOOVER", but, I enjoyed your sales demo". He replied, "Opps, sorry". I don't really work for HOOVER, but, I should have.
Just thought I'd share. The new white plastic was very reminiscent of the old ones. | ||

Rememberr the old 'Lux place out here had such a chart on the wall and a small one on the counter.Kinda like the charts of old Compacts-TriStars and Kirbys.they too had charts of their older machines.Quite handy-surprized it isn't on the web somewhere. | ||

Yep!
That's it, bigger than life on the wall. I must admit, I have had to run 2 of them in my life. One was at the rectory, the other belongs to a friend. He had recently undergone a colostomy, and I offered to clean his house. He had to "go and change his bag". I changed the LUX bag as well. It was acting up on me. NEXT time I cleaned the house, I came armed with a Convertible 70 (Delft Blue) He was aghast! I reminded him that I was doing this out of the kindnes of my tiny, little heart (like the Grinch, it's 4 times too small) {luckily, the ONLY organ involved in THAT}. Imagine I had to look at TWO bags that day.
I still have, for sale, the Electrolux GOLD polisher, I think it went with the anniversary canister. I know: I'm horrible.......te he | ||
