Electrolux Silverado Vacuum Cleaner

Although the vacuum of my childhood is now gone I am finding that many people still have this machine in working order. The Electrolux Silverado Vacuum was Electrolux's flagship model from 1982-1984 and for many is the vacuum of the past and present. Having worked at a vacuum shop who's top selling brand is Electrolux, I see why people are attached to their vacuum or the vacuum of their parents.

The all metal canister was built to last. The stylish silver-gray with light gray trimmings was an easy sale for door to door salesmen of the day. My mother and father had purchased this vacuum along with a shampoo machine. It was bit heavier than today's plastic canister vacuum but narrower and easy to store. No damage could be done to it. My mother would have me vacuum with from time to time and I remember it being smooth and quiet. I also remember being fascinated by the power nozzle's spinning brush and the suction in general. There were always carpet in my home as a child and being a kid there was always dust and dirt to clean up. My mother was no fool teaching me to vacuum, I guess. The hose was also interesting because it was really heavy duty and had a cool diamond checkered pattern made from a hard cloth-like vinyl material.

I do not know why my folks eventually got rid of this machine, but I realize that they shouldn't have. All of the Electrolux Silverado Parts including the motor, belts, hoses, and accessories can still be found online and replaced. The beloved vacuum has been brought back to life through the The Perfect Vacuum, a machine fashioned from the original specs of the Silverado and based on what we really need from a vacuum, to ability to last. Who would have thought a vacuum would bring back such nostalgia, but I am not the only one.
