Yes....These machines have exceeded expectations in everyway. I have the Olympia and Silverado and they run so smooth. They dont make machines like this anymore.
These are the best vacuums! I currently have the Silverado I bought off eBay a number of years ago and it still works perfect. Truly the best vacuum cleaner out there
I live in Queens NY and I just drove by and I saw an ELECTROLUX OLYMPIA in The garbage, Well, I picked her up and She is completely clean and in working order! Just need a few attachments and I will start very soon! its is Jan 2, 2019!!! Much better than my Sears Shop vac!
i was a Electrolux salesman for a few years back in the 90s... badass machines, i must have sold a hundred of them at least , I still have the Epic 6500 and the carpet shampooer myself. .. easy to sell once you got it into someone's house. Good product, too bad they ran the company into the ground.
@@MICHGO1 Yeah that's weird. I wonder why they stopped making vacuums. Kinda pointless to keep using the Electrolux name if they're not going to make vacuums anymore
I have a blue Model 1205 that was manufactured in 1972 that I use several times a week. It's nearly 50 years old and still works perfectly...and I have all its original attachments (including the power nozzle) except for the braided hose which lost its air-tightness years ago. The brush roll on the power nozzle wore down a bit, so I ordered a new one for about $10 on eBay and replaced it myself. The cord winder stopped working, so I found another one for $25 and made the swap. Dust bags are still cheap and easy to find. I love the darned thing because it JUST WON'T DIE!!!
They actually called that "teal" and if you have a 1972 it's probably the model B with the "jade green" end cap. 600 watt motor and the teal-matching power nozzle was the PN-1 model. I remember banging that thing around like it was a rubber-insulated battering ram.
One commercial where the pitchman doesn't lie. It's the year 2017, Charlie and my Olympia does still work, even with irregular/neglected maintence. The Power Nozzle does need some tweaking though, the brushroll keeps popping out of the slot.
This CEO guy wasn't lying. My Granny had an Electrolux from the 1960s, and it was still working in the 2010s. He may have undersold it, a bit. Wish they made something like that today.
Electrolux Corporation's bronze-colored Olympia One tank vacuum-in successive models 1401, 1401-B, & 1505-was manufactured from 1979-82 with the power nozzle model PN-4 & later PN-4A. The silver-colored Silverado Deluxe tank vacuum model 1505 with the power nozzle model PN-4A or PN5 succeeded it from 1982-84. Mr. McKee was spot on with his descriptions.
THE ANSWER IS YES! BOUGHT MY OLYMPIA ONE IN 1980 AND IN 2017 IT'S STILL GOING STRONG. REPLACED THE HOSE 2X, THE DUSTING BRUSH AND THE POWER NOZZLE. HINT: LOOK FOR HEPA BAGS ON-LINE, THEY ARE SUPERIOR TO AREUS PAPER. ALSO AERUS SELLS A "AFTER BAG" CARBON FILTERS. YOU PLACE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE CHAMBER.
I have a model 1205, and it’s the runt of my collection, as I collect only Kirby vacuums. My 1205 was given to me by a friend who moved to Missouri a few days ago, so I use it very little as it reminds me of him.
@@andynorvell4953 thanks for commenting. I tried to find prices online. I went as far as googling vacuum tv ads and sales ad from back then and still found nothing indicating price. We kinda inherited one and knew it was old so we were just curious how much it cost back then. It works better than the vacuum that we bought brand new 2 yrs ago... the quality of todays products🤔
My parents got from the door to door salesman...man I thought those things were heavy but I'll bet they could suck a golf ball thought a garden hose like Pyle
I still use an Electrolux Ap100 with a genuine replacement hose along with an original Sidekick attachment, great machine, still has the original motor in both the cleaner and Power Nozzle, also own an E2000 Canister along with a 1590 and E130A Central Power Units Can't go wrong with a real Electrolux!!!!
I grew up using an electrolux canister vacuum in the 80's. We had the same model as the one advertised at the end of the video. It was the best vacuum ever !!! It was definitely built to last. Unfortunately I ruined it when I decided to use it to suck up water. 😞🤦♂️
WE'RE COMING UP ON 2020 AN MY OLYMPIA ONE IS STILL WORKING FINE. REPLACED THE HOSE A COUPLE TIMES (CURRENT HOSES ARE FAR SUPERIOR TO THE BRAIDED) AND THE POWER NOZZLE.
It’s true lol my grandma and mom both have one of these I’m 28 years old now and I can remember when I was seven and my mom used to chase me with hers! 😂
@@Channel-cm7yc if people didn't care there wouldn't be a difference, you may settle for a piece of shit like this but that doesn't mean others should too.
Mine is still working 2018. My grandmother gave it to me 20 years ago when I moved out on my own. Back then, I didn't appreciate as much as I do now. It outlasted all my other vacuums only thing is that it's just a pain in the butt to carry up and down stairs.

The commercials are amazing! That Silverado is 🔥🔥🔥
I got this machine from my grandmother. She bought it new on 3/29/1982. 38 years and I still use it twice a weeks. Nothing sucks like Electrolux!
I have an even older Model 1050 from 1972....and it's STILL RUNNING! That's 51 years old, original motor, and original powerhead parts.
I have a model 1205 with a matching pn1 power nozel and it runs perfect. From 1969

Now we’ve reached the point that 20 years ago WAS the year 2000

They're still around as Aerus. Definitely not the same though.
Charles was right! I just vacuumed with my 50year old SuperJ. A Dyson ball I had failed at 5years -- right when the warranty expired.
I love my Electrolux super j works better than any vacuum I've had and I've had a lot
20 years. Mine is still going after 42!
I adore Electrolux!!! The REAL ELECTROLUX!
Yes...The True and Original Electrolux !!!!
SHAME ON JOE URSO FOR SELLING THE NAME. REPORTEDLY FOR $50M BECAUSE OF A DIVORCE. IRONICALLY EUREKALUX IS NO LONGER SELLING IN THE US.
@@MICHGO1 Yeah that's weird. I wonder why they stopped making vacuums. Kinda pointless to keep using the Electrolux name if they're not going to make vacuums anymore
Now they have factory in Poland
They are now and since the sale have the name known as Aerus in the states.
I got a electrolux olympia one vacuum used i still used it.

A NEW HOSE AND POWER NOZZEL WILL MAKE IT LIKE NEW. PICK UP A "SIDEKICK" THAT WASN'T AVAILABLE BACK THEN,

My grandma still uses her Silverado, her power nozzle quit working though
You can still buy parts for them online! You can also check with your local vacuum repair shop!
I have been using my 1935 Z25 since 1980 to clean my house and still in use in 30-06 - 2020, the best vacuum cleaner design.
I have a eletrolux fridge made in late 90's and still working
"will your TV be playing in the year 2000?" Why yes, the 1983 panasonic is still going 40 years after it was made!
My grandmother had the Olympia one and it lasted 27 years.
2 years from now we will be in the year 2020
That's because because there Swedish.
Lo mejor en equipos de limpieza.
I associate this ad to wandavision sitcoms
Listen Now Its Old
Never liked the look of american electroluxes, they're really fucking ugly. The European machines were way slimmer and more modern looking
Cause we made things to do a job not sit around and admire it’s looks. God who cares!
