What a GREAT pic and ad!! I remember when my Mom upgraded from our LX (early) to the AE (we had stairs, SO much lighter!) It really was the beginning of a new era for Electrolux. Still, it is clear the LX's sold well as is proven by the number still surviving and 'available'. My AE is one of my most pristine Lux's and brings back great memories of (nearly) being an embryo when Mom bought it!

AE and Memories....!

 We =almost= got an AE; but Mom would not part with her Hoover 62 and attachments. Dad had a friend who sold for Electrolux and one day he arrived to visit with the AE. I remember him taking it out of the box and the new sent to the hose and attachments.
He left the AE with us for a few weeks for mom to try out. He even left the garment bag which loomed over me in my closet. The AE sat in the corner of the loft room upstairs which was half my room [I was only 6] and half storage. It was so beautiful. And it purred. But Mom wouldn't touch the thing..not once. She was a Hoover loyalist...until 15 years later when her son was selling for Electrolux and was able to convince her =finally= on a 1205!
But I have always thought that after the Model XXX, the AE was the most handsome Electrolux and that it looked like a serious cleaning machine in a way that none of the later Models did. I wish they would have just kept the hammertone as a kind of trademark for the Electrolux.

Memories

 Yes, the AE is a beautiful machine and this particular pic/ad especially shows it off. Did the 'demo' machine on loan have the optional cord winder/retractor? We 'advanced' our chrome one from the LX but mine here has the later of the two hammertone blue ones and happily in great shape, Belden plug and all! Interstingly, my fav is still the 30/XXX as well

great story

 I am amazed at how you are so connected to your child hood and having fond memories the the lux. I used to do the same thing,,,,,,and be mesmorized over my grandmas' luxes over the years as well as my aunts.....they consisted of lx, ae , ap 200, lux 89green and wine colour.... and my aunt on the farm ....she had the lux 89 which she bought in the mid sixties and to this day, she still has the vac and she uses the it to clean the big 3 story farm house!! I love the luxes!!! and the great memories attatched to them ...and the purrrrrr of the motors. Speaking of purring,,,, the hoover connies in the fifties had a purrr of their own...

Electrolux AE

 hygiene903's profile picture
It's one of my favorite Luxes too, along with the XXX and the model G. The XXX was actually the first Lux in my memories, as my Mother had one for quite a few years. When I was little, it always seemed she was running it in the living room on Saturday morning, when I was trying to watch cartoons, and this was in the days when there was only ONE TV in the house, and that was in the living room
My paternal Grandparents had an AE, but I didn't see much of it when I was little. However, when I reached my teen years and used to go with my Aunt and help clean, I used to run it quite a bit. They also had a Filtex, but when I had a choice I always used the AE--never cared much for the Filtex, but would use it if I had too. Theirs had the halo on the back, but the one I have now has the cord winder. They were beautiful, powerful, quiet machine

AE

 I remember SO MANY E-Automatics (as they were referred to in company literature at the time) when I was a kid. Along with plenty of XXXs, LXs, Es, Ss, Rs, and Fs. As y'all know, that's the machine I grew up with - my dad bought one for my mom when she was pregnant with me
How many of you whose households had AEs also had the air-powered polisher? How many of you remember your moms (or dads?!) actually using the polisher?

To 'E' or 'AE' ???

 Hello Fre
OK, first things first. The show and tell period in the desert showcased my (then) newly-acquired E. It was in fact an early E, the most common one without the plastic oval 'balancing act' that accompanied AE's. And it did/does have the original Belden cord and plug! I have since acquired a later E, also very nice, but WITH that plastic oval. Surprisingly, people seemed to have gotten tired of their machine toppling over when they man-handled them like they drive! (This phenomenom may be gender-specific) My AE was not present at that show-and-tell exhibit and in fact has not been viewed by very many people! It is one of my finest along with a near pristine XXX and a wonderful XI. (No one's AE is likely to be finer than Ken Wagman's!!
As far as pics go, those how know me well are still amazed that I even have a computer. You are talking to someone with rotary telephones. I did finally cave on the cell phone thing as an acquiescence to my 91-year old father, but that was only after exhausting every possibility finding a rotary cell phone! My theory is to not rush into these electronic advances since most are likely to be fads!!!!! (In 1982, I was leary of our company investing in a FAX machine for the same reason!!) So Fred, with my regrets, we will not be posting pictures this week. HOWEVER, you are strongly encouraged to make a trip west for a private viewing!

If you show me yours! This AE is from Charlie Watrous. It is from a co-worker of his. Well kept and well loved. When his co-worker found out of his love for these machines, they arranged for him to have it. He then arranged for me to have it. That's how it works in this club. First shot.

AE Surgery

 BTW, The AE pictured above clearly shows the ADDED Power Nozzle electrical outlet. The P/N came out after the AE (actually during the AF run)and many salesmen went back and converted these machines after they sold the 'Revolutionary' Power Nozzle to exisiting customers. I remember watching our local Luxman installing the outlet which required him to make a cut in the side of the aluminum trim. The outlet was pre-wired with eyelets for relatively easy electrical addition/installation
OK, I admit it. I'm over 27

AE Bonanza!

 I love it!! We don't see Electroluxes featured nearly enough here. :)

I have four AEs, each a little different. One is like "Mama's" with a chrome halo instead of a cord winder, two have the early cord winder without the aluminum band around the perimeter, and one has the later "Early AF Style" cord winder with the aluminum band. All four are in immaculate condition.

Following are photos showing the two different cord winder models.

The machine showing the early style is a particularly rare specimen. Electrolux used to "lend" machines to high school Home Economics classes. Note the badge on the side of the machine.

This particular machine must not have been put to very much Home-Ec instructional use: It was in near-mint condition when I got it, with the original hose in unbelievably new condition, original cord with Belden plug, optional accessories including polisher, sprayer and vaporizer! It even had an ORIGINAL Model AE bag inside, AND a filter in the rear end that had not a speck of schmutz on it!

Another one of my AEs

 Here are some photos of my third AE, the "halo version."

Note the ribbed silver hose - actually from a Royal upright attachment set! But the color matches the silver trim of the AE perfectly, and this is the hose I use when I use one of my AEs for "real cleaning." I do have a couple of original AE hoses in excellent shape but I am afraid to risk damaging them, so I don't use them too often.

A curious thing about this particular specimen... All four of my AEs sound and perform alike except the latest one with the silver rim around the cord winder and that is to be expected since Electrolux did beef up the motor somewhat toward the end of the AE. (The early AE had the same motor as the E and LX/LXI, then the latter AE has the same motor as the AF and turquoise G, then when the tan G came out there was another slight increase in power and then that was the same motor until the Super-J.)

The other two AEs, the two with the older-style cord winder, have the same suction power, slightly less than the newer version, but this one with the halo has significantly less power than any of them.

It sounds exactly like the other two early models, but for some reason it is noticeably less powerful than them. I haven't measured them on an air pressure meter; I can tell this machine is weaker by its lesser performance and also by the less-strong sound of air flow through the floor nozzle.

It's not the hose -- obviously this is an airtight hose. It's not the bag or the filter (I go back and forth with the rear-end filters -- sometimes I like having one in and sometimes I don't.) All the variables are the same yet this machine is, as I said, clearly less powerful than the other two early versions.

Anyone have any idea how this could be? I sure am puzzled about it!

 Where did you find the attachments for your Royal upright? I would like to find a nice set with the metal wand like the one displayed in your pics.

Thanks. Mike

Royal Hose

 Only the flexible part is Royal. The metal ends are Electrolux. It did take some doing to pry off the Royal ends. I soaked the hose in very hot water and then pried the ends off with a screwdriver.

I have found a couple of these hoses 'going solo' at thrift shops.

 Eventually, I want to get a set of attachments for my Royal upright, so I appreciate the heads up. I still have to locate the thrift stores and vac shops in my area and check them out.

AE Wands

 Now, here's a burning question for y'all AE (and AF) nuts.

Those who remember them from childhood -- did they have the heavy chrome-plated steels wands, or the later light-weight aluminum wands?

My parents' AE had the steel wands. I remember them very vividly, especially since I was the one who did most of the vacuuming, haha!

The first time I saw the lightweight aluminum wands, on a Model G, I thought they were cheap and flimsy and considered them a slide downhill for Electrolux. What does a 12-year-old know?!

When my mom got the tan G, of course it came with the aluminum wands. She also retained the chrome wands from the AE. Her idea was that the added wands would make it easier to dust around the corners of the ceiling. However, I don't recall her ever using three or four wands at the same time.

I was very surprised -- and not at all convinced -- when another Electrolux nut asserted that the AE came with the light-weight wands as I was sure that was not the case with our machine, nor with the other two AEs that I saw on a very frequent basis -- two of my friends' families had them (both with the early-style cord winders). Again, my memories of the wands are very vivid.

Then one day I won a later-AE on eBay, with the later cord winder. And lo and behold, it came with aluminum wands, albeit they were a little bit different from all the other ones I have seen. The surface is kinda, well, how do I describe it -- burnished I guess. You know how the Constellation wands were? Not shiny but with a velvety finish? That's what these AE wands are like. It's the only set I've ever seen like it. All the other aluminum wands I've seen are smooth and, when new, fairly shiny. So my assumption is that the new light-weight wands came out with the late AE, at the same time the motor was upgraded and the cord winder was slightly revised.

On the other hand, that doesn't fully explain all the AFs I recall seeing as a child ... with steel wands!

(All these AFs that I am about to tell about were the early-style AFs with the flip-open cord winder.)

One of them in particular, I saw (and used of course!) very frequently. Mrs. Woody, one of the nice church ladies, would often have me over to her house "to get me out of my mama's hair" and she'd let me vacuum with her AF. And it had steel wands.

As did Mrs. Peterson's, the lady next door. She also had a turquoise Johnson Wax electric polisher that I was just crazy about!

So did Mrs. Respass's, the lady in the big three-story house on the water who also had an XXX in her "outhouse." (In that part of Virginia, "outhouse" was not an outdoor privy but a small building, usually where the washer and dryer were kept, and/or the husband's tools and stuff. Miss Eleanor's outhouse was very nice - finished off with checkered linoleum flooring.)

Then there was another lady who lived "up the road" from our house who did not go to our church so I did not know her. One summer day I was walking past her house and I heard a vacuum cleaner running. Of course, I knocked on the door wanting to see it! It was an AF, and it had steel wands. Again, I remember this very vividly.

Then there was the one at the church where we lived from 1960 to 1965. It was stored in a little cubbyhole under the stairs leading up to the main floor. It too had steel wands.

In fact, I cannot ever recall seeing a single AF with aluminum wands until I was a teenager living in Maryland. My friend Ray's mother had the later AF with the donut cord winder, and it had the aluminum wands. Since I had only seen those wands on Rs and Gs, I assumed they were replacements.

Soooooo....... I am curious to hear other peoples' "AE and AF wand recollections!"

Then there was the one at the church where we lived from 196

 That should read, "Then there was the one at the church in the town where we lived from 1960 to 1965."


Oh and P.S., my friend Ray's mother, with the later AF - also had an LX that she just loved, but did not use anymore because it didn't pick up very well, she said. So I offered to take it home and have a look at it.

Of course, the only problem with it was the hose - it leaked like a sieve. I got her a new turquoise L hose (with all-metal handle), took the machine apart and cleaned it up, and machine-polished all the metal trim. Wow, it sure was pretty when all shined up! That dark turqoise hose actually looks really nice with the LX.

I took it over to Ray's house. When his mom saw it, she just got all excited and exclaimed, "Oh MY goodness! That's just so wonderful!" She dropped what she was doing and immediately hooked the machine up and started vacuuming with it! She was so happy, she gave me her less-preferred Model F! I was very surprised and happy to get it, because it was in practically new condition!

Hey, Charles...

 You have mentioned on your website and through other threads on DOV that the thrift T lux was made up of parts from any number of sources. Do you think that this could have been happening with the wands? I would be curious too, what were the Canadian machines being fitted with during this time period? I wonder if they, (Electrolux) were practiceing what Harley-Davidson was doing and keeping minimum parts supplies to keep inventory costs down, or if they were buying from multiple suppliers, etc. I'm going to throw an other wrench in the gears here be telling this little story. I had to be seven or eight years old and a neighbor across the alley had two "rich folks" vacuum cleaners. One was a Kirby, (can't tell you what model, only that it had red parts), for the rugs. The other machine was a Lux E, strictly for above the floor, dusting, etc. Being interested in tank cleaners. the E was the one that got most of my attention. And I remember that machine had steel wands with the XXX-type logo embossed at the female end with the slots. I thought those wands only came with the XXX. (That period with the ending of the XXX, The arrival of the E and AE, phasing out the LX, confusing time in Old Greenwich). Now what? It does not seem to me that if these people needed replacement wands they would have gotten ones that much older. Could this have been an over supply of XXX wands? I don't know. You would know better than I. Maybe, these neighbors liked the chromed steel wands better or they just hung on to the wands from an older machine. They were weird people. Used to put the Lux behind the couch, but kept that Kirby right out in the open next to the knick-knack shelf. They also owned an Edsel!!! No kidding!!! Rick

Embossed Wands etc.

 =-> You have mentioned on your website and through other threads on DOV that the thrift T lux was made up of parts from any number of sources. Do you think that this could have been happening with the wands? <-=

Possibly. There are many enigmas in the history of Electrolux. One that comes to mind is the two versions of the XXX/LX rug tool. One was all metal except for a rubber bumper, the other was metal and plastic. I always assumed the metal/plastic one came out later, with the LXI, as it is not depicted in ANY Electrolux literature that I've seen. However, over the years, I have seen or found XXXs, LXs and LXIs with the early all-metal version. AND, I have seen XXXs with the plastic version, a couple of them with the plastic in a matching dark gray color instead of dark turquoise. Now figure THAT one out!!



=-> I would be curious too, what were the Canadian machines being fitted with during this time period? I wonder if they, (Electrolux) were practiceing what Harley-Davidson was doing and keeping minimum parts supplies to keep inventory costs down, or if they were buying from multiple suppliers, etc. <-=

Canadian Lux went to a telescoping wand MUCH sooner than USLux did. They first appeared on "Version 2" (1963-67) of the maroon ZB88. "Version 1" (1957-63) had chrome-plated steel wands, whereas I think the first telescoping wand did not appear until the second 1205 (1970) -- Fr. Bruce or Sandy??

n.b. that Canadian steel wands were a little different than the US versions - the slits at the top were longer and narrower, and the lip around the top was a little narrower.




=-> I'm going to throw an other wrench in the gears here be telling this little story. I had to be seven or eight years old and a neighbor across the alley had two "rich folks" vacuum cleaners.

And I remember that machine had steel wands with the XXX-type logo embossed at the female end with the slots. I thought those wands only came with the XXX. <-=

Well, the embossed wands only went with the first XXX (or Model 30 as it was called at that time), in 1939. At least, I believe this to be so based on the many XXXs I've found over the years. The only ones I've ever seen with those wands are the couple of early 1937 models that I've found or seen.



=-> It does not seem to me that if these people needed replacement wands they would have gotten ones that much older. Could this have been an over supply of XXX wands? <-=

Possibly. While Electrolux branches were forbidden to sell earlier models, or rebuilt machines, there was no such prohibition, to my knowledge, of selling "NOS" parts. I do remember a neighbor in Virginia who had a Model E with an XXX hose. Either she had had an XXX at one point and the hoses between the two machines got mixed up, or the E hose got damaged or ruined somehow, so she swapped the XXX hose. OR, maybe that's what the Friendly Electrolux Man had in his station wagon for replacement hoses, and sold her one when he came by one day.



Ah, details, details. I just absolutely LIVE for this kind of stuff. That's something I really miss from a certain former member who used to be a pretty good friend of mine until, well........ won't even go there. We'd get on the phone and talk for HOURS about all the minuscule differences and variations in different runs of the same models --- I do believe between the two of us, we have studied Electrolux machines over the years more closely than anyone else. I kinda miss talking about stuff like the cord hook on the early and late E, how the later one had two screws to hold it in place instead of one; or how the early L had a black rubber "Model E" style switch and the next version had a blue turquoise sliding plastic switch.......

Lux ZB88

 countryguy's profile picture
I remember coming home from school one day to find a maroon ZB88 in the living room, including the optional power head. It had the telescopic wand and the hose had the cord for the power head strapped to it. My parents weren't home at the time so of course I had to turn the vac on and try it out. I was so impressed as that was the first time I had ever seen a power nozzle. I was excited to be having a new vac in the house (my mom's current vac at the time was a Filter queen from the early 50s). When my parents got home I found out that a Lux salesman had been over in the afternoon to demonstrate it. I was annoyed because I missed the demo due to being at school. My parents discussed whether to buy it - my mom wanted it but my dad said no way, he wasn't spending $275 for a vacuum and so the salesman came back, packed up the ZB88 and took it away.

Speaking of XXXs with later "LX" rug tools,

 check out this XXX on eBay. That is the later rug tool, and you will note that the plastic parts are gray instead of turquoise.

Further to the early/late XXX/LX/LXI rug tool... I never saw one of the plastic versions as a kid. The handful of LXs I remember all had the XXX-style nozzles. Believe me, I would have noticed! And the various LXs I bought over the years in thrift shops had that style as well.

The first time I found the new style nozzle, loose in a thrift shop, I, not knowing what it was, assumed it was perhaps from a Canadian or European Electrolux. I bought it (for something like 53 cents - why do thrift shops always have weird prices?!) just because of its curiosity factor.

Then a few years later, lo and behold there's a beautiful LXI on eBay ... with the "new style" rug nozzle. And then later I happended to find a late LX in a thrift shop, again, the new nozzle.

Just when I had figured out that the new rug nozzle came with the late LX and LXI, then comes along an XXX ... with a gray version of the new nozzle!!

{{{*SRCEEEEEEEEEEEEAM!!!*}}}

This is the sort of stuff that when you ask Electrolux Company representatives about, they just look at you blankly, not having a clue as to what you are asking, and even less of a clue as to WHY you are asking --- do they even know what a Model LX or XXX is?!
