New Orphans Adopted by Casa Electrolux

I’m no longer looking for any more vacuum cleaners. I went through a lot of tears and heartbreak when I recently had to deeply reduce my collection.

However, they still seem to be finding me. Some have been offered to me that I had to decline because either I already had one and had given it away, or that wasn’t in good condition, or that wasn’t something I was interested in.

Three recent adoptions at Casa Electrolux have all been exceptions to the rule.

First, a beautiful first-version Electrolux Model LX. I had one, as well as the last version, the Model LXI. I really wasn’t looking for another one, but one was looking for me! It’s beautiful and runs magnificently. So I’m happy to have it.

Second, a tan Electrolux Model G. That was the second vacuum cleaner my Mom had, having gotten it in 1968 when I was 12 years old and still had while I was in college. I had a beautiful one that, again, I recently gave away. Well, an equally beautiful specimen found me! Again, I’m happy to have one again.

Third, and maybe the most unexpected, a Hoover Constellation Model 843, the model that tilts on its axis. This has always been my favorite Hoover canister machine but I never had a nice one.

Well…….

Two photos are worth two thousand words!!

Checkrate/Likes Good finds! I always am getting vacuums and I will get them to fix up and restore to new condition and resell after making videos on them, and saving them from trash and thrift stores to do the same. Vacuums that are too unique or too rare I will keep and not get rid of and they remain in my collection. So I've got a curated collection to the unique and rare, as well as what my mainstays are (Kirby vacs). Everything stays "normal" depending on how often I run across unique vacuums. lol Some are even kept because they have a special story attached to them too. It's a good way to still keep collecting, while also maintaining a collection. Just like caring for a tree, gotta prune it every once in awhile so it can grow healthy. Nothing wrong with selling some vacs, just make sure you're keeping what you really love :)
