This couple ( appears to live in NJ ) has found a NIB Electrolux Olympia I. Perhaps it’s none of my business on how an owner handles their machines , but this is almost too painful to watch.

You can...... say that about anything that was human made.....'they're only new once'. It's also a tired trope. They get to do anything they want with the Olympia....just turn away if you must. Kevin | ||

Having been in the vacuum cleaner business for 40 years, I have unboxed thousands and thousands of new vacuum cleaners, and placed them in the hands of people who did and do abuse them. No big deal. I also fix vacuums. It's a great business.
Watching the video didn't bother me - it was theirs to do with what they wished. My good friend Charlie Watrous (former VCCC President) gave me a spectacular Kirby Diamond Edition. Flawless. Absolutely perfect. I don't think they'll be able to fit it into the coffin with me - so I use it (gently) but often to (gulp) actually clean with. That's what it was meant to do. I'm old enough that I was able to live through the last glory years of companies like Electrolux, Rainbow, Filter Queen, Compact - before the cost cutting measures and plastic bodies and one-fan Chinese motors. I bought the ones I liked at the time - and still have them to this day. They might still be like new - but I do use them often enough to keep the hoses nice and supple and the bearing grease flowing in the bearings. | ||
