Another old vacuum cleaner found in Austria added to my collection - a hand-held Siemens Rapid, model VSt 101. It probably comes from the turn of the 1950s and 1960s. This model received the German IF Desin design award in 1958. The nameplate shows the manufacturer's data: Siemens Elektrogeräte AG, model number VSt 101, and a power consumption of 240 W. This Rapid was intended for the Austrian market, as evidenced by the symbol ÖVE, i.e. the Austrian Electrotechnical Association (Österreichischer Verband für Elektrotechnik), also visible on the plate. It is in good condition, but unfortunately the original cable needs to be replaced, as it is damaged in many places. The vacuum cleaner will be a nice addition to several other vintage Siemens models in my collection. We have already watched on the channel, among others, an older model of the Siemens Protos Rapid hand-held vacuum cleaner.
