Hello fellow collectors,
After picking up a Vampyr 6500 today I thought AEG vacs are rarely if ever discussed here so heres a thread dedicated. Dont have much to contribute myself as im more on the learning end so any info parted is greatly received. The 6500 is only the 2nd AEG cleaner in Paul and myselfs collection the first being an early 80s cylinder. Hopefully Paul will add a couple of pics to illustrate, So is there any AEG info out there? :) Rob |

Unfortunately I only have two photos of the model 6006 Vampyr electronic. A nice cleaner, though unfortunately missing its chord rewind pedal switch, though the mechanism still works... |

The plug recess is VERY much orientated towards continental sized plugs only, with the UK 3 pin plug preventing the little lid from sliding across... |

See there Paul, you have them lined up next to the Hotpoint, which as I am sure you know were Bosch, and the Bosch cleaners I always thought were never quite all that either. Not for the price or the reputation of the brand. |

Hi Paul, You have the same model AEG 6500 that I still have.
I bought mine new in 1995. I paid for the lower end model AEG but they gave me the highier end model accidently when they went to get the boxes as they looked similar. I think the vac should of been £189.99 if I remember correctly. Hope you and Rob are both ok:o) James:o) |

Sweden's Electrolux bought the home appliances division of Germany's AEG in 1992....that's why some of the AEG products (Contour upright) are identical to Lux versions.... see link below....

The AEG name has of course reappeared recently on vacuums in the UK as the Swedish made Ultra range, although these are sold across Europe as Electrolux. I'm not sure how well these sold as I haven't seen any in use and I'm not sure if the major stores are still stocking them. They seem to be far popular in main land Europe where high performing, well made cylinders are big sellers due to 90% of homes using cylinders rather than uprights across Europe (most probably the reason why Miele only ventured into the upright market in recent years) |
