Hi guys

Today I received my new Nilfisk GM80P in the post. This machine in NZ in the 60s, 70s and 80s was the Rolls Royce of vacuum cleaners and still available here today as a commercial cleáner. I bought at an exceptionally good price here of NZD $775.00......mike

Nice machine you got there. I do not own a Nilfisk nor do I fix them. But I hear they are good machines. My friend actually had one but then ended up throwing it away because of the new Shark machines. I was a little disappointed about it. But, I got over it.

I have a Nilfisk GM80 that came from the Kirby guys trade in pile in his van.All metal-industrial quality.I would make that Shark kiss the dumpster before the Nilfisk!An OLD Nilfisk is going to be better than a new Shark!

That is lovely

I have a few Nilfisks and one Tellus. I love those machines . In the 80's my father worked for the city council in Cape Town and the cleaning service that cleaned the 24 story building used them. I have one I use at home a newer version with the more powerful motor probably the same as your one. It is a very useful blower aswell. I will post some pics late of my lot

I wish we could still get them new here

Gareth

Missed out on one

Just last week. The first I have found used for a good price. They are not very common here in the States. I consoled myself by saying I will have one NIB someday.
