My latest find, I inherited this set of Electrolux from my great grandpa. They both were sitting in an old building, the vacuum works great. I'm sure they'll clean up nice!

Very nice. They look like they have never been used.

Twin Sale

Electrolux always taught to demonstrate and sell 'twins'while in a home.That is, a vacuum and for total floor care (and more commission for salesman)a shampoo/ polisher.The above is a great set with much cleaning life ahead.One of the easiest to use uprights with no manual height adjuster and EASIEST ever bag change.And 3rd brush makes the Floor Pro the best ever household floor machine.
Hopefully you have or will find the pan to rest Floor Pro on when not in use.Otherwise never leave it sitting on brushes.
Happy cleaning with the twins!

Love the attachment caddy! A reminder of the good ol' tool kits from before the 1980's!

Now why can't all vac-makers provide tool carriers like that - even as an optional add-on?

Closest thing you see these days are the $150 Miele specialty care kits.....

For the money you spend on a Miele or Riccar or Electrolux canister, you should at least expect to get a nicely designed attachment carrier or rack to store all the accessories including bags and filters and belts....

I believe I prefer the Epic over my Kirby's, the Epic isn't that loud, it has great suction comparable to the Kirby, and not to mention the vacuum pulls you instead of you pushing. Its a delight to vacuum with, now when you mention polish, like hardwood? I don't have a single piece of carpet in my house, HAHA!!

I agree!

People would rather scrape furniture with the oftenly (and unfortunately) seen '3-in 1' tiny tools, than work their way room-by-room to a clean and healthy home with all the attachments you need, from dusting to painting the garage! I doubt anyone will release one soon, such as Hoover and the like.we're lucky Kirby still has that plasticy thing of an attachment carrier!

Aerus still offers that very carrier

It is included with the current uprights and most braches have them or the central vac equivilent available. I have the central vac version in my hall closet to keep everything together when put away and thus always available when needed. Full disclosure: I sell Aerus Healthy Home Products.
