Ok. So I've seen this brand called "Kalorik" in a couple of different places. I don't intend to buy one but I'm just curious about its origin. Does anyone know who makes it. Is it a re-branded vacuum?

Thanks!

Bill

Hi there,

I do not know about the united states but over here in europen they make cheap cleaners that are sold on markets. You can never repair them because they are not screwed but pressed together with a glue. I will lok for some pictures off them over here i know they were sold in the eighties, then they were gone for a while and now they have returned as a sad dyson reject.

best regards edgar

Never heard of it. I googled some and they look like those generic made in China vacuums that anyone can order a pallet load of from the exporter and have their own name put on them.

The other new name on the scene seems to "Emer."

Does anyone have any background information on this company? Their vacs all seem to be named for great Italian artists, like Botticelli, which is kinda nice. But, like the Kaloriks, I wonder why this company suddenly appeared in North America - out of no where it seems. Perhaps our European friends on the other side of the pond can provide some answers - is this an Italian company Mr. Milano?

I've seen those recently too. This what I found on their USA website.

My guess is that someone bought the Kalorik name and are probably just using it to place on those junky cheap China vacuums. Like they do with other once good names like Bell & Howell, Westinghouse etc. Tack the name on a piece of shite which has nothing to do with the original company.

Those Emer vacuums look nice, says they're made in Italy.

Petek:

That site is also very interesting from the standpoint of finding out where some pricey German, British and Swedish brands are really made.

It's all "branding" now, isn't it?
