~ This week's cleaning ensemble: Late-version Electrolux Model F with power nozzle. I also have the earlier Model F, the matching B7 polisher-scrubber, a "Casual Sweeper" (made for Electrolux by Bissell) and a whole bunch of other stuff, but I didn't bring all that out. |

~ I have a great fondness for the Model F, having seen many of them when I was a child. I clearly remember the first time I saw one with a power nozzle, even though I couldn't have been more than three years old. Daddy was visiting some friends and I had come along (probably to get me out of Mama's hair). When we went into the living room I saw a white and gray Electrolux that had a HUUUUUUGE nozzle on it -- the power nozzle, Electrolux's first. I looked for one for many years and finally found one a few years ago. |

Well yes, but Hoover and Eureka also always offered uprights, so having a powernozzle on their canisters wasn't a top priority. Eureka DID have a Vibra-beat tool on their canisters in the '60's that made a racket but did aid in cleaning carpets. I never knew the model F was offered with a powernozzle. I always thought it came out with the G. I should look at my F and see if it has the electric port.
