My Electrolux Chamber

I had to dig out some tote boxes from my vacuum room closet yesterday, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to re-organize the entire room, at least somewhat.

Picture 1, to the right of the door. There used to be a single bed here, but I gave it to my sister. I actually prefer the machines on the floor, but, since this is a basement room, I laid down a couple of quilts in case of moisture. I stuffed plastic bags in the hose connectors because I had mice in the past, and they got inside the bags and made quite a mess. The Guardian 75th, by the way, is my present downstairs cylinder, and the two Discovery uprights are atop a 1970's Electrolux seat/storage chest.



Picture 2, under the window. These are by far my favorite Electrolux/Aerus models, but not necessarily my most frequently used ones. The wooden cabinet, as far as I know, is an old family 'heirloom'.


Picture 3, bureau. The Genesis LX is my present downstairs upright. The upright storage caddies hold Style R wands and Sidekicks, and behind the Epic 3500 are two 89s.


Picture 4, closet Part 1. All of my machines awaiting repair are in here, in pieces, namely the B21 shampooer, 2 86s, 2 89s, Diplomat, Ambassador, System 90, and Lux 9000. I MAY get around to them someday. The vintage hoses NEVER see use, although some are airtight.


Picture 5, closet Part 2. There is a BX-10 shampooer in the corner, and the gold Electrolux is a 50th Jubilee, not a Super J. The Epic 3500 works, but has no handle. I just borrow the handle from another model when using it.



Picture 6, Style R hoses.



Picture 7, Other usable and used hoses, in another part of the basement.


Note 1: There are 4 machines 'missing in action'. The Ambassador and brown LE are loaned out to two of my sisters, and the Epic 8000 and white Epic 3500 are the upstairs vacuums for the week.

Note 2: All of the models in these pictures work and get semi-regular use.

Note 3: Most of the totes and boxes are full of attachments and parts.

Note 4: Although some of me wants more vacuums, some of me thinks "Enough is enough!". Actually, at the present time I don't have a single cent to spare on getting more vacuums, so its a moot point.
