Electrolux in America

[retro-man]

I have an Electolux central vac system in the house. I purchased a couple of years ago an addditional hose and tool kit to keep downstairs. The new rug beater and tools just have the word LUX on them in big letters then in smaller script it says The Original since 1924. I guess its there new name here?

What once was the original Electrolux is now sold under the company name Aerus. They do print Lux on the power head and cannisters. If you look on the underside of the power nozzle it will probably say Aerus somewhere.

Well I checked on the bottom and it just has patent numbers and made in USA on the bottom. Now the side kick which is a motorized small unit for furniture has made in China on the bottom. Nothing about Aerus anywhere.

Woo-hoo!

My roommate pointed out that, if you rotate the Electrolux logo counterclockwise, it becomes an instant success for Speedo!
