The 1962 Electrolux Model C-A "Commercial Automatic" 

Back when machines were made to last and they were a real worthwhile investment. How standards have fallen!

That’s a beautiful machine. You just can’t buy quality like that anymore

I agree with you. The Electrolux model G was THE finest vacuum the company ever put out. The got everything right. Great design,best color,quietest motor. Everything they made after was a step back. The special brush roll with the extra rows was also used the the Hospital G which was essentially just a regular G but with a silencer on the back,making an already near silent vacuum even quieter.

Hey Owen, that Electrolux sounds wonderful. By the way, for what it's worth, you do a great job of describing things, since I can't see my screen, I get a lot out of your descriptions. The motor on that machine sounds wonderful, a D flat note, that was a very common pitch of vacuum motors in that time period. The G.E. motor and the two stage motor that Lamb Electric was making that that time had the same pitch. Interestingly, even though that motor is a 700 watt motor, it's the same pitch as the motor that was used in the model G. I'm guessing most of the vacuum motors of that time ran at a similar speed. What a contrast to the high pitch screaming jet sounding motors so common in portable vacuums today. I much prefer the sound of these older motors, much more pleasant.

Beautiful sound. That lux motor just purrrrr and humming Music to my ears

I wish I had one of these ElectroluxAnd this one is in probably the nicest condition you can find it

I have the very first CB, the one that came after this. I paid so much for it that I was ill until I unpacked it and saw how beautiful the thing was. Someone in his family owned a flower shop and that’s what that had and used. The thing was immaculately clean when I got it too. All buyers remorse immediately vaporized!!

Music to my ears ,, the hum of that lux motor ,,, and the swooooooshhhh of the air flow 🥰🥰

What a great find

Wow ,, what a beauty 🥰

Dream machine

wow !

Owen, that is a awesome find. Super cool machine. I have only seen 1 of these in person.

Great find awesome video to watch

What a cool machine!

Yes we must preserve these machines. Electrolux don’t make them like that now. It is also a floor polisher Beautiful

I've heard that the extra rows of bristles on the commercial power nozzles put more strain on the motor.

I have a CB 2000 plastic model and it is a work horse

Beautiful machine!! I have an Electrolux CB model which is nice! I think the early version of the CAs had a shorter cloth hose, but I'm not sure! Lots of luck with it!!

like to have seen it in action

Great video! I collect Electroluxes specifically, with hoovers and a few others on the side. You are thinking of the "chevron" logo from the 70's-80's.

The three brush agitators were standard with a Hospital G, mine had the pn1 with a 3 row as well

I want it 🙃

can yo u do a video of using it more ?

What is the suction like on this compared to the model.G? Is it basically the same motor?
