Sweden Royal Lux 1

[skip]

Well this is my latest in my collection and quite a vacuum cleaner for sure. I hate to say this but the Sweden/German vacuum cleaners in my eyes rule for sure. The only thing that the Us Electrolux has that I see is better is the locking hose clip where on the royal lux is not locked on like the US lux but it just pushesd in then You turn it to lock it but if the hose turns every which way it does come off the vacuum cleaner but all in all a very solid and powerful vacuum cleaner

Tiger 260

this is the actual tiger 260 I'm getting and in fact bought it from a Vorwerk rep so It's coming in the original suitcase and then I'm getting the rest of the attachments for it from My friend in Germany Andy, I have been on a german kick lately don't know if it is because I'm 100% german but I truly love German techology

That Electrolux looks like a really high quality vacuum. Here is my Bosch, I'd like to use it but don't have a power converter,will it work on US 220?, it was many new toys ago so it might be time to e-bay it. Mark

Rainbow

Does any in here has a Rainbow vacuum cleaner?

I bought mine at 6th Decembre 2005 and am really pleased with it.
The man which sold it meant that they´re bulit in USA and are very popular in the States.
Does anybody made some experience with it?
Are they really such popular?
What do they cost overseas?
Mine cost 1850 Euro, more than 2000 $

I have a few in my collection, I did have an E-series Rainbow that I traded To Reggie and I know He is well pleased with it.Yes Rainbows are popular here and the new ones right now are going for around 1800.00 US dollars, Now most of the Rainbow Dealers here in South Louisiana have switched over to the new Oceanblue claiming there are better then the Rainbow.My personal favorite of the water vacuums is the Big Power From Italy I have both models and truly love them and they do an awsome job at that

In Refernce to the Lux yes it is in my opinion and they are selling like hot cakes in Germany and also the Tiger 260 is a hot item as well. For the lux I think I got off cheap at 303.00 US dollars because most are running between 400.00 and 900.00 US dollars and the only flaw they have according to Andy is the switch does often go bad in them but nothing else so far, Now the Tiger was rather expensive to me as I had to pay right at 850.00 US dollars for it but most of those are running from 700.00 to 1200.00 US dollars but I'm not complaining at all, but will say now I do have to stop as I'm totally out of room, My vacs have taken over they are everywhere LOL

Thanks for the info.,does the power converter plug into 110 or 220? I don't think this would be a good investment for me as I only have the one german vacuum, I just added two new Kenmore Powermates to my collection,well one is almost new and the other is a '79,I don't have a lot of space so i guess I'll e-bay the Bosch, When I get new ones I try to part with some of the others to keep the vacuum population under control.

110

Mark it plugs into the 110 Well I have right at 20 of my vacs are German,Austrian, Uk models, so I do need it but it is well worth it for me

Can't get the bug outta me

As I stated earlier I am really out of Room for all of my Vacuum cleaners and like I said I do need to stop but boy am I hard headed or What I just scan thru canister vacs on ebay and wouldn't You know there was a Miele powerplus Bluemoon on a bin for $180.00 Guess What I bought it. seriously thou now I really am going to have to downsize my collection for sure as I have over 300 now and to be honest when my collection was alot smaller I could run all of them but now it's hard to with as many as I have I will just to start parting out some of them and I will definately have to stop looking on ebay and instead of looking will have to be selling LOL
