Ok so this may not be that exciting to most of you but I love American stlye tank vacuums and I finally have a modern one. I found it at the local cash con who called me saying his staff had bought 2 machines that were 110volt. Its missing its one wheel but works fantastically Not to noisy either and the way the motor is set up interests me allot. Very different from the waps and Karchers and other "shopvac" style machines I have

The other machine to come from Cash converters was this Hoover Steam vac ultra , It worked beautifully and personally I think it works better and feels better made than my newer V2 ( also 110volt ) It has now replaced the V2 as our carpet cleaner at home and in my household with my two sons it gets used a few times a week

Now a oldie and odd one, I got this from a friend who owns a vacuum repair shop. I only ever saw one of these before in the sample room at Electrolux SA and it has a orange dust bag cover.
This is in Bad shape missing its Brush bar and sole plate and the plastic is badly sun faded. If any f you have a brush bar and sole plate I would be interested

 Vax and Bosch merged on the AVC and what soon became the VX-1 series, (and Bosch BUC11700 etc) Benny. I always wanted one as my neighbour had the bright yellow and purple AVC.
However, the cord was auto rewinding, which for the UK was rather rare and there was lots of cord on it - I think 10 metres.
The only thing I disliked about this vacuum was the noise, the weight of it and that "elephant trunk" hose at the front as it had a dusting brush already fitted to the bottom of it, but a short ring of castle cut mini bristles that really didn't do very much. I loved the overall look of it though. | ||

Thanks Guys
I have a very wide variaty of vacuums in my collection ranging from really Old 1926 Electrolux right up to very modern. I appreciate all vacuums. This siemens vacuum is a beast at best, It also has one of the longest cartirige filters I have even seen on a domestic vacuum. This one does not have auto rewind but rather a button ontop of the winder. I think it would work fantastically in a large house with lots of carpet. Scott Let me know about the brush roll and sole plate would love to get that national going. | ||

Ultra performer
Yes it is , That is an entry level aeg, its sold as a AEG in many country's and is actually a very good machine for its price. They are made by Kingclean One of the largest manufacturers of vacuum cleaners, Thye have both there own design and do assembly for Morphy Richards, Electrolux/Eureka, AEG, Volta, Russell Hobs( this and one other model ) to name a few. They are definetly one of the better Chinese manufacturers. This model is far better built than anything I have seen with a Russell Hobs badge. | ||

Gsheen, yes thats what I thought you meant. We call all spring loaded winders "automatic", irrespective of the method for unlocking the cord. It is confusing. | ||

I also meant to say they were a rare sight on UPRIGHT cleaners in the UK. Most cylinders do still have them. | ||

The main problem that "upright brands" have often responded when I've emailed has been that the mechanics of an auto cord rewind often break early on when applied to an upright vacuum cleaner. Shame I don't agree - my old green Panasonic upright had a fairly reliable auto cord rewind for many years including a brush roll on/off function - both functions are only now beginning to reappear on certain brands - but at a cost.

Indeed, that unique Siemens/Bosch upright with the cord reel is sold in the USA under TTI's Vax and Dirt Devil brand names. See the link below...

Hi David
The Pure power was not sold in SA this was brought back by some one moving to SA a common occurrence. The dust cup is not for Sale :( sorry Its the only one I have and it needs allot of work. The Electrolux 180 was the predecessor to the 290 The main difference is the rear wheels are large and exposed ( circa elux 350 style )Possibly more like your guys 1185. This model also came in deep red, we also got a 260 model in a lavender Blue Gareth | ||

A few new arrivals, I actually got some of these last week and was going to tell you guys all about them but then, You know those youtube video's were the guy climbs to the top of the ladder and the ladder slides down, well that happened to me on a lader I had climbed a few times that day, I ended up kissing the concrete below with my bottom jaw and then fore head, Some how my wrist laded under the ladder, NOT GOOD and my elbow also Kissed the concrete so I was pretty bashed up and have been wearing a sling most of the week to my disgust. I am a very active person and dont like to be held down for any reason. But here they are
First up my Holand Electro Very rare I have only ever seen one of these before and this might be the same one, No pipes but thats never stopped me before, Oh wait yest it has.
