As part of my "Wall of Fame", and because we sell brand new Aerus Electrolux cleaners, I put up a display of my all time favorite Electrolux cleaners. Throughout the Museum are Electrolux cleaners, but my favorites I put in the Wall of Fame section.

This cleaner belonged to my dear Aunt, and it was the first Electrolux I ever saw. She had a cedar closet the box and machine were stored in. Everything is original, even the hose. Tight and holds air. My all time favorite model.

This cleaner was purchased by a neighbor in 1968. I was six. In 1970, her husband got a new job in California - and they bought a house with central vac. She gave this (at that time) 2 year old cleaner to me. I was 8 when I got it. It has the pistol grip electric hose and telescopic electric wand. She didn't but the cord winder because it made the cleaner too heave. I never saw her use it while it was sitting on its wheels. She carried it, with the hose wrapped around her back. I have kept it in a "time machine" for the past 49 years. It's still like she gave it to me, and the hose is sealed and holds air tight.

This is the 1967 model G Electrolux in bronze. This cleaner, with its original box, was a gift from Alex Braun. If it was used 5 times, that's a lot. I have wanted this cleaner from the day he bought it at an Estate sale. He surprised me with it recently and I LOVE IT. It has the matching power nozzle as well. The hose is perfect and sealed tight as a drum.

The 1931 Model 12, made in Sweden. It was this model that was aboard a ship from Sweden that sank - causing Electrolux to build their American factory. And the rest is history.
