Hey, everyone, I'm not going to do separate threads for all of these new vacuums. All in one this time. To start with, here is a photo of the whole collection, minus a few vintage machines in the basement and the central vac in the garage.

#2: Miele S444i White Pearl

sleepdoc's profile picture
This also was from ebay, in excellent condition. The finish on the White Pearl is absolutely gorgeous, and mine unfortunately has a few nicks, but not enough to really bother me. These are becoming rare, so I wanted to jump on this one to replace the perfect one that I loaned to someone who then moved outta town with it.

#3: Electrolux EL7070A Ultraone

This was a purchase from a fellow collector. I don't think it's too common; I never had seen one before this one. It's fantastic, if anyone ever happens upon one.

#5: Simplicity SYMPNT Symmetry Premium

sleepdoc's profile picture
This was a new purchase from the Simplicity Factory Store in St. James. This is the TOL upright in the Symmetry line that is about to replacing the 7-series, which is going to be discontinued. John has a 7-series that I think is an amazing machine, so I bought this one while I had the chance. The TOL Symmetry features a selector for either carpets (brush roll spinning) or bare floors/tool (brush roll disengaged), a full-bag indicator, and charcoal and HEPA filtration. It has a metal brush roll with replaceable bristles. The finish is Hunter Green metallic, which is gorgeous!

Mieles

The Miele are kind of obstructed from view in the group pic, so here they are together. I don't think I'll add anymore for a while unless something pops up that I have to have. If I do add anything, it'll be a new Silver Moon to replace the one I had and gave away to a nurse.

Hi Patrick My name is Gareth great vacuum collection I just joined the forum yesterday , The Electrolux Ultra one is a great machine, I was involved in doing some testing on a prototype when it was being readied for the South African market. I used to work in the R&D department for Electrolux and still do some contract real life testing for african conditions. Here its sold under the AEG by Electrolux banner whereas what you guys call Eureka is sold as Electrolux here It is trully a awsome vacuum. I was given one as a girft for my work.
Funny thing a customer traded in a miele cat& dog today in Red my favorite colour when they took home a new dyson. My first Miele.I will defenetly keep it even though the bags cost a fortune.

Miele canisters

Hey, I love all your vacuums! i just purchased a platinum off of e bay. It came up this morning. I see you have an artico there. Thats one that I really would like to have too. I have 1 blue moon, 2 silver moons, 1 aluminum, 1 platinum,1 capricorn, and 1 mango red home care addition. This vacuum compulsion has to stop. We are breaking the bank. Had to order a new hose for the platinum, it costs more then the platinum itself!! I am thinking about the white pearl as well. When does this addiction stop?

Is that a Commemorative Edition Ultralux I spy in the edge of the pic at the bottom? OMG the Holy Grail of Electrolux machines. I will probably mortgage my house if one ever shows up on Ebay. To date, I've never seen one auctioned.

 

I also like your white/periwinkle Legacy and your blue body Ultralux. Are those other Aerus/Electrolux machines I see too? It's hard to tell. Nice collection though!
