Nothing sucks like an Electrolux! ~ Bad Product Names
http://badproductnames.blogspot.com/2007/04/nothing-sucks-like-electrolux.html
Wednesday, April 25, 2007. Nothing sucks like an Electrolux! Today's item deals mainly with a bad slogan. From a vacuum cleaner company, rather than a bad product name. Don't you just love the double meaning here? Despite what some sources say, it really wasn't a bad translation or marketing error on behalf of Electrolux. Apparently the "Nothing sux like an Electrolux" campaign was mainly marketed in the UK, rather than the US where "sucks" has the obvious negative connotation. May 15, 2007 at 10:45 PM.
