NO REFLECTION ON THE SELLER OF THIS MACHINE. I’M SURE IT’S IN FINE CONDITION.

AT ONE TIME ELECTROLUX USED TO MEAN THE BEST. SIMPLE YET INGENIOUS DESIGN. UNFORTUNATELY ELECTROLUX ABANDONED THE “STEEL MACHINE” IN PLACE THE RENAISSANCE WAS INTRODUCED. IT WAS A VERY TRENDY LOOKING MACHINE. BUT IT WAS VERY AWKWARD TO USE, BEING VERY HEAVY, HARD TO MOVE AROUND, ODD CONTROLS ON THE HANDLE. THE ATTACHMENTS OF THE “STEEL MACHINE” WERE WELL DESIGNED HAVING A DUAL PURPOSE. FOR EXAMPLE THE COMBINATION DUSTING BRUSH/UPHOLSTERY TOOL SAT RIGHT ON TOP OF THE MACHINE, FOR QUICK ACCESS AND EASY TO USE. THE NEW PLASTIC MACHINE ATTACHMENTS ARE UNDER A COVER AND ARE PLACED INSIDE LIKE A PUZZLE,HAVING TO BE PLACED IN “JUST SO”. JUST A FEW SHORT YEARS AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF THIS MACHINE. THE ONLY THING OF VALUE ELECTROLUX HAD TO SELL WAS IT’S NAME,NOW CALLED AERUS. WHEN YOU BUY AN ELECTROLUX IN SEARS YOU ARE NOT BUYING THE “CLASSIC” MACHINE BUT A REPACKAGED EUREKA.
I HAVE BEEN CLEANING OFFICES AND APARTMENTS FOR NEARLY 30 YEARS AND I’VE ALWAYS INSISTED ON ELECTROLUX…UNTIL NOW. INCIDENTALLY I HAVE A 27 YEAR OLD “STEEL” MACHINE THAT IS STILL IN EXCELLENT CONDITION!
