2 NEW ELECTROLUXES! This past weekend as well as today, my collection gained a couple new members. The first is a beautiful red and cream Canadian Electrolux model 86 from our fellow member Doug Smith. Doug and I have been friends for a long time and agreed on a trade deal which resulted in my new to me model 86. My 86 includes not only the original hose, but also the original manual, floor tool, floor brush, upholstery tool, and dusting brush. I am absolutely over the moon about this! A big big thank you to Doug for this fun new toy! The next machine I have found is a very nice 1988 Electrolux Marquise. This was one of the last metal bodied Electroluxes. Thankfully it came with a brand new replacement vinyl hose. I absolutely love the colors of this model and will definitely cherish it in my collection. Enjoy the pictures!

Absolutely love the colors of this! Very rare here in the US, but still a very high quality and quiet vacuum!

Really loving this one as well! The sandy taupe color is definitely not a common one.

I absolutely love getting machines from other countries. Its always interesting to see what other countries were using at the same time as us. That history is important to preserve and that's why I have a Hoover Senior from the UK, a Hoover Junior from the UK, these Canadian Electroluxes, and several Canadian Hoovers.

I have a few things from
hoover U.K. I was getting 2 . But, I had a terrible problem with the seller. Canceled the deal, demanded, and got a full refund. THAT wasn't easy, either. But, I don't let go. Great machines. LOL is the plural of Electrolux = Electroli> Just kidding. I enjoy having multiples of some models. Some can't see it. But, that is not my concern. Keep it up. |

Being that I mentioned my Hoover’s from the UK and Canada, I thought I’d show my other non USA made machines. Included are my Canadian Hoover Convertible, a British Hoover Senior (size comparison next to a green Convertible model 1030), a Hoover made Baycrest Power Astromatic Celebrity, and a British Hoover Junior.

The color schemes and styling are different from American Electrolux's and the motors more powerful. Kevin |
