Question:

Is it worth it to get an old (circa 1950s) Electrolux vacuum fixed?

Hi there - I've been given an OLD Elextrolux vacuum cleaner (a canister one) that seems to have lost some suction...and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to get it fixed? I do realize this is more of an opinion question...My main concern is not spending as much $$ to get this vacuum fixed as it would to buy a new vacuum! Thanks.

Answer:

odds are you would have trouble finding the replacement parts...
Most probably,it depends if you can get the parts,i would buy a new one and you could sell the old one to a collector of antique vacuum cleaners You have had a blo*dey good run out of it 50 years
I have a Dyson vacuum and it was worth every penny. I have a toddler and two dogs in the house, so it gets used a lot! I vacuumed with the old vacuum, and then vacuumed again with the new Dyson vacuum and it picked up a whole canister of gunk. It is the first bagless vacuum that I have ever had that did not start to lose suction quickly. The hose is in the handle, which is very handy and the whole vacuum is very light weight.
i'm surprised that it doesn't work. parts may be a problem
