The information I'd read prior to discovering the aforementioned news article indicated that WMWC's resources helped to produce the Model C.A.--a VDTA article even stated that the Model C.A. was branded both as an Electrolux and as a White. In another thread I viewed the patent, which was...

Thought I'd share this AMSTERDAM EVENING RECORDER AND DAILY DEMOCRAT online article from September 6, 1963...

I neglected to mention that I used the Electrolux Rug Washer (manufactured from 1962-87) on my stairs along with my rugs and car interior and that worked wonderfully, also. Electrolux also had 2 other products over the years that could be used on stairs: the Turbo Tool w/Rug Washer attachment...

Sleepdoc, I think your carpets turned out magnificently, as well!

Marvelous results with the Kirby Shampoo System; thanks for sharing. Your grandparents are fortunate to have your help (I hope your gran has healed by now)! I have also had successful results with the dry foam shampoo method using an Electrolux Model B-8 triple brush cleaner; albeit I've...

I would agree that "love" is better reserved for personal relationships rather than items. "Appreciate" or "enjoy" would be more accurate. That said, I appreciate the designs, colors, function, and engineering of cleaners--both for vacuuming and shampooing/polishing/scrubbing. I enjoy...

The Electrolux Model B-8 was manufactured from 1963-1983--first as just a polisher/scrubber. The Carpet Beautifier component was added in 1965 as an option which later became standard. Your shampoo dispenser tank is from 1965 or 1966--the only one to bear the sparkle graphics (until they...

Thanks for the photos and captions. I appreciate such resourceful information!

The facts have been presented by news articles that some Aerus products have been manufactured at the Eureka plant in El Paso, Texas beginning around 2004; and as a result of the Bristol, VA plant closing in April 2016 the remainder of its manufacturing was also shifted to El Paso...

Sure, it doesn't look great, but I admire the DIY ingenuity of whomever made the revision. It reminds me of what persons did during the Great Depression--they used what they had available to make repairs since money was scarce. I'm glad the person chose to salvage the cleaner rather than...

Missed your post--sorry. I just learned on another thread that on December 2 Electrolux Group divested the Eureka division to Midea Group Co., Ltd. of Guangdong. That makes me wonder if Midea will be manufacturing Aerus products. I know that the Sidekicks have been made in China for the past...

Does this mean that Midea will be manufacturing Aerus products, too?

Just found this--from the HURON DAILY TRIBUNE ... Vacuum Cleaner Plant Closing, 250 Layoffs Published 4:48 am, Tuesday, April 26, 2016 The Aerus Electrolux vacuum cleaner plant will shut down by the end of May, leaving 250 people out of work, the company said Thursday. The company said in a...

Brian, I used to think as you do--even when someone in the business had told me that Aerus products were produced by Eureka several years ago; however, there is no online documentation that Electrolux/Eureka ended its contractual relationship with Electrolux/Aerus. That, along with the fact...

Additions to Reply #8 Someone mentioned that the home office had relocated to Marietta, GA around the time of the leveraged buy-out by senior exec's around 1987, so here are the road travel distances from that location. Marietta, GA to Bristol, VA = 308 miles Marietta, GA to Piney Flats, TN =...

I would recommend contacting the Kirby Company at kirby.com if you don't want to wait for a reply here. Best.

That's an awesome family photo! How do they compare/contrast? When was each manufactured? Regarding the headlight issue I'm thinking that the Sanitaire model IDs with the S prefix are manufactured primarily for professional cleaning (home cleaning businesses) and those with the SC prefix are...

Thank you, Garry, and I send back my Christmas and New Year's greetings to you and all on Vacuumland.

@Colby Thanks for the clarification about the mini brush strips. I got it now. I also appreciate the info on the guard width differences between the metal and plastic. So I went back and had another look at the pn pics and discovered that the 1720s also had them. That makes sense since...

@ Real1shep "My mother-in-law gave us her old G that her husband had gone through when we were first married. I don't know what he did other than brushes, but that motor has a higher output than any other G motor I have." What color is the Model G that your mother-in-law gave you and your...
