My wife got this beautiful 400slc Electrolux Carpet Shampooer for me the other day.
it seems to be a 1985 model, They were made right here in Cape Town South Africa, at Electrolux's manufacturing plant in Paarden Island. I am not sure what the tie up was with the various similar machines sold in the USA. Their are Electrolux and Columbus versions of this machine dating back to the 70's possibly earlier, all made locally, Production ended around 2013/15 when Electrolux finally stopped all manufacturing in SA. They are very sought after here and newer versions can go for ridiculous amounts second hand. $ 150.00 sometimes. | ||

I was given these brouchures by a friend who was the regional sales manager for Electrolux back in the day,
Their were no differences between the 500 slc and the 600 slc other than colour.

Hi Paul
I have a funny feeling that Electrocol as it was back in the day bought the rights to manufacture this machine from one of those companies.
the model Designation stopped at the 700 slc before it was given the name Nimbus
The owner of Electrocol Wally Horn ( Electrolux and Columbus manufacturers and distributers ) drove a Mercedes 450slc. Staff used to joke here comes Wally in his Shampoer
I will make a video of it working this weekend
