Oh, even still they are very encryptic. Our new one has no indication of the date in the serial number. It did come with the date tag included with the packing literature though.

That Vibragroomer I has an actual sewing machine motor.

I admire the euro Eureka's too. Sadly the only one I have is the first series blue Oxygen 6997. I regret not buying the Excellio version when I saw it new. I guess I like it because it's more Miele looking. When our central vac needed a new power unit, I wanted a Miele C-3 Mari blue, Red...

You have a model G Hospital model. Regular model G was turquoise blue.

The Excellio for the USA, branded for Eureka as the Europa home cleaning system had a modified three wire coupling on the canister end, and the Eureka gas pump handle with a three position switch. Power on, off, and brush on. Rather than the wireless remote control, the motor speed is regulated...

Retractable hoses are nice, not an easy install in existing homes though. More wallboard and or stud cutting and patching. They also can only use air driven or a battery carpet power head, so if you have much carpeting, you may want to oversize the unit to be sure it can drive that turbo brush.

True, but NZ power grid is 230 volts.

Any 240 volt three stage or dual motor 2 stage unit rated for 5.000 to 8,000 square feet. I have no idea what is available in N.Z. Plan for a minimum of wall inlets for bets efficiency. An unfiltered cyclonic is nice, if you can install it in a garage or exhaust it into the courtyard or from...

That looks like an Ultra One! Where is the current Aerus assembly plant? Bristol Virginia? Wasn't it in Texas? I thought all the former posts were referencing it, bit it was Bristol Ct. which was the old original plant, in Old Greenwich.

I remember all three when new. I didn't care for the Europa with the smaller wheels. I think the Excellio home cleaning system has a larger hepa filter in the rear. Dis they all have side parking shut off?

I found the Eureka Europa model number is #6998. It's the Electrolux Excellio. JC Penney sold the Excalibur canister by Volta I remember in the catalogue. The side bumper rose up on an angle front to back.

I have an Oxygen #6997, blue. I just reassembled the hose handle after it separated and the power head switch fell inside. I couldn't get the screw in the bottom front in. An awl went in at an angle. The suction bleeder is lined up and working so I used electrical tape around the lower front to...

They had two dogs that shed profusely. Her husband was a jerk who didn't know how to properly maintain anything. He even managed to break their Kirby.

I found some youtube videos and Flickr photos of AB Electrolux cylinder models preceding the Oxygen and Ultra one series such as the Excellio Z 5405, 5235, also sold as the Eureka Excalibur (not the first series by Volta) the Ingenio, and Microlite, Slimline, and Dolphin.
