Here is a picture of an Electrolux Velocity. This vacuum cleaner was in a holiday cottage we went to last year. It didn't sound very healthy!

Ahh. The Eureka Maxima. What a steaming pile of S**t that was. These things clog way too quickly, they are loud, they leak dust like crazy and the build quality is non existent. I'm surprised they even have a vacuum at that cottage. Usually, they only have a broom. I stayed in one cottage that had a Eureka Maxima that was clogged and the hose was full of holes. It had dust all over it.

Turbo500 has two Electrolux Velocitys. A white one in his loft that doesn't work any more and a blue coloured one in his house that he uses most days. |

We got the "Electrolux" Velocity as the Eureka Altima over here in the U.S. of A. From what I can tell, the Eureka Altima seems to be more feature rich than the Electrolux Velocity, despite the fact that the two vacuums share the same design. The Eureka Altima had the self cleaning duster, turbo brush, stretch hose, etc. while the Electrolux Velocity seems to be a more basic cleaner. Eureka also had another vacuum that was similar to the Eureka Altima called the Eureka Uno, which was basically a Eureka Altima with a Eureka Optima style telescopic handle. If I remember correctly, the Eureka Altima was available in yellow, red, and blue. I trash picked a red one once, and was far from impressed. I hated it so much I returned it to it's rightful place in the garbage can. Apparently, a lot of other people hate it too, judging by the two star average on Best Buy's website. I've attached pictures of both the Eureka Altima (first pic) and the Eureka Uno (second pic).

Also I've noticed something interesting about the Electrolux velocity. Some have rectangle switches and some have round switches. |

Fortunately, "Eurekalux" has completely pulled out of the USA vacuum market. Eureka is now owned by Midea, Sanitaire was sold to Bissell, and the "Electrolux" branded vacuums made by Eureka have now been completely discontinued. Aerus really needs to buy back the rights to the Electrolux name in North America. No one knows who Aerus is, but everyone and their grandma (literally) know who Electrolux is. I love my Aerus Electrolux vacuums. They're quiet, durable, and they clean better than any other clean air vacuum on the market.

In my opinion, the Eureka Altima (Electrolux Velocity) looks like a godawful cheap plastic contraption. I'll attach some picture of what I (and quite a few others on here) consider to be good looking vacuums. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so if the Electrolux Velocity is what you like, go for it.
