that's good info to know because the rear filter pad on my model 89 isn't pretty. I'll have to go check the 88 |

I just bought this thing this morning. I found it on a table outside the Mustard Seed in town, it had been left as a donation, and hadn't made it into the store. When I got an attendants attention, she said it didn't need to be processed, and just go plug it in and see if it worked. I did, and it hasn't much suction at the moment. Another woman slapped a $10.00 price sticker on it. It's a beautiful little machine, obviously the wrong hose for it, but is it the correct floor tool?

Wrong floor tool you got there. That goes with a XXX or LX. The machine itself looks rather nice, although I think AE and AF models look strange with the cord halo. At $10 it's a good find. |

Actually It may be the correct rug nozzle with it. Given that its in Florida and you have alot of Canadian Snow Birds down there it may be one that was brought down with them. When they sold the AE in Canada it came with the Canadian parts instead of the dual brushes. If it is a Canadian sold machine it should have either a sticker or remenants of one on the bottom saying Warranteed by Electrolux (Canada) Limited. Incidentally the AE was sold here on a limited basis (as was the LX) as an experiment to see how the automatic bag controll and paper bags would go over in our market before the models 83-86-88 went into production.

I found archive pictures, and Doug's site pictures, whatever is happening with my computer, not every picture appeared. But the Es and AEs did, and the tool as Doug mentioned. I had assumed the owner had retained an early tool for some reason until I saw pictures. I like the looks of mine, and I still like the reversable one everybody remembers more. I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I left the store, and I wasn't going to leave it.

Doug, I didn't find any stickers on it, but I'm sure it's what you suspect it could be. It also has a chrome halo, a newer Electrolux cord, and minimal scarring. The inside is clean as a pin, and the stabilizer is somewhat gouged on the front bottom. And very light rust. It should come back with a good cleanup.

Alan I can't quite see in your picture above but is their blue trim on the rug nozzle that matches the vacuum? Would that be a clue that it was part of the set for that model? |

Using the polisher -- you should have heard the shriek of delight she let out when she started the vacuum cleaner and that polisher began making its distinctive hissing, warbling sound!! |

Pete, the trim on the floor tool is blue. That was a clue to me also about its sales origin. Charles, the stories are always interesting. Your friend is just glowing with her new toy. What a gift! I'll be shopping for a polisher now! That whole prize package is just stunning, the hose and cord set it off so well, too. At the moment, I'm pleased with the cord on mine, that has Electrolux embossed on each side of the plug, it complements the grey handle and rocker switch, and the brightwork. Ha-maybe the Electrolux/Aerus dealer could have an appropriate hose. ? If I go vacuum hunting in Vero Beach Monday, I might try the shop on 21st street. I wish Mom's Model L with the cord reel were still here. She Goodwilled it when my brother bought her the Eureka Mighty Mite Boss! Still have that, it's good, but not an Electrolux.

(also added to the new Model E feature on my web site) Again, note the emphasis on light weight and two-attachment cleaning. |
