There is most definitely an Electrolux Model XXX in Alvin and the Chipmunks. It is a very late XXX or a Metropolitan rebuild as the skin over the top of the machine is blue. John |

I like the Kirby (early 500 series) you see Linda Black vacuuming the stairs with in the movie "Burnt Offerings." Looks like brand new. |

also in national lampoons Christmas vacation you can see and upright in the attic when we walks around. You have to really look to catch it. I think it might be like an F&G Eureka. You can only the the handle. And in that Jim Carry movie where he doesn't know he in killer (not sure what it's called) you can see a late plastic Convertible in the basement. |

I think the best vacuum scenes are as followed Mr. Mom where the man has the vacuum called Jaws vacuuming by itself.What is that thing? The little Borrowers where he gets out that old Kirby and the little people get sucked to the floor boards. The mouse and the Motorcycle where Ralph the mouse get's sucked up by an old (I think) Electrolux. The first wives club when Goldie Hawn blows up the Hoover Elite. And who could forget the brave little toaster. What a classic. Last but not least and my favorite, Mrs Doubtfire and the dancing scene when he dances with the Hoover Elite to Aerosmith music.

The Abbott & Costello movie where Lou gets a job selling vacuum cleaners and the plot revolves around corruption in the sales orgnization. Probably my all-time favorite vacuum cleaner movie! And does anyone remember "Bus Riley's Back In Town"? I think it came out in the mid-60's and if I remember right it starred Michael Parks (who later starred in "Then Came Bronson" on TV) and Ann-Margaret. Bus Riley returns to his hometown to restart his life after either being in prison or the service, and one of the first jobs he has after going home is selling vacuum cleaners that were called the "Atomic Way" and looked like a Kenmore Torpedo Tank or Kenkart.

In the Ryan Oneal,Barbara Stisand movie "The Main Event", from 1976-77, she is cleaning their appartment with a Red Kirby Classic 3 that dosent even have a cord! She is also singing while she is 'vacuuming', so maybe thats why. I remember a Lucy Show episode (the later version, from the late 60s,-early 70s with "Mr Mooney") where Lucy is selling vacuums door to door. The vacuum is a Hoover Portable suitcase type. Lucy goes schlepping all over the neighborhood with the vacuum case wide open, hose,cord and attachments all falling out all over. There's an early eposide of I Love Lucy where she tries selling vacuums door to door. (i think its a Westinghouse vacuum)When she comes home with the vacuum in tow, she says "Youve just witnessed the death of another salesman!" |

Anyone remember which Pink Panther movie it is that the good inspector is cleaning with a eureka commercial machine and sucks up the canary then trys to get it out without turning off the machine and gets pulled in himself? I bought the Pink Panther set hoping to find it but couldnt so either there is another movie or its been edited out.

is in this YouTube clip. I thought it could be a Hoover Junior. The woman who recently died was 89 years old.

In the movie Blondie Takes a Vacation I believe a Hoover was used. There is something wrong with the bag and Dagwood uses a tire inner tube for the bag which becomes quite large and the vacuum floats up to the ceiling if I remember correctly. |

One of the greatest scenes I feel is in the movie The Bodyguard with the late Whitney Houston where the maid is vacuuming with a Commercial Electrolux Prolux upright. |

Yes, Cole,
I was just thinking of posting something about those jetpack Electroluxes from "Tomorrowland" - thanks for doing it. They were in two or three scenes in the movie, and the Electrolux name is prominently displayed. It looked like they did something to the logo to make it larger and chunkier. The design is just slightly different than the original.
It was fun to see those. |

I can't believe the resemblance to mine! Right down to the small dent in the attachment plate,& the crooked bumper. The bag on both mine,& the movie one were replaced with a brown shake out one. I have the original bag,it's light beige,& uses disposable bags.We had one when I was growing up. Mother had an even older Kenmore 116 upright,& wanted a new one for downstairs so she wouldn't have to lug it up & down the stairs. My dad came home with the 1963 one,he got it used from a friend he knew at the Beverly Country club. This was in 1966.I remember seeing the Kenmore for the first time when he opened the trunk of our 1962 Mercury meteor,after we visited my grandmother in the hospital.He showed it to mother,she said it was filthy,& had to be cleaned up before it came into the house. Shortly after that I had a bad case of tonsiltis.Mother asked,me what I would like.I was 6 years old. I told her I wanted the new vacuum next to my bed. It sat there till I got better! Here is the old one,on the end. It runs GREAT.My mom bought it in 1947 for my grandmother ,for mother's day
