Tommy,But when you do,it's something good!Seeing the Italian and other designs is great.Do you have these same or similar models?Would that have been considered full size upright at the time or did you also have Hoover Convertible/Senior?--Jimmy |

ahahah! I must confess that I haven't seen an electrolux upright like it but once in my life, I'm sure they were not as popular as the Hoover senior/junior in that period. It's interesting to know that these brochures were left by an electrolux dtd salesman in the house of a friend of mine, but her parents later decided to purchase a Vorwerk kobold instead!
greetings, Tommy |

well, I like them from the historical point of view and they were surely made very well but so far in terms of performance from a hoover upright cleaner of the same period. And their design was quite ugly if compared to that of hoover cleaners. Moreover I think they were just made to give customers just an alternative, but the price was high, for what they were...

AHAHHAHA Thank you very much Jimmy, that place used to be a part of my grandparents factory built close to their house in the Sixties.Now the whole property belongs to us and my mother lives there. After the facility was moved to a larger location away from the center of the town it remained in use as a garage and it will remain so until we complete the refurbish of the mansion when it will give place to a covered swimming pool (but upstairs it will hopefully remain a large and comfortable display for my babies! It's a little bit in confusion right now because I have very little time to take care of it and I don't live there, but it's very nice to see when I visit my family.
