    My Aerus Guardian canister.

    I neglected to mention that Aerus's main office will be able to give you the year(s) of production if you provide the serial(s)--if you're interested.

    My Aerus Guardian canister.

    What others do you own? How do they compare/contrast? I also wanted to mention that your Lux Guardian was the only one with that label, and was manufactured from 2004-09. It was succeeded by the C170A Lux Guardian Ultra which had a different body style and JEI (Japanese Engine Import) motor...

    My Aerus Guardian canister.

    Very nice! It was the first iteration of the Guardian label to carry the Lux designator--previous ones were simply labeled "Guardian" or "Guardian Encore". When the Aerus brand was fully implemented in 2004, the numeric labels were dropped; so the "Guardian" moniker was brought back for the...

    Finally Got a Sentria II

    Very nice, indeed--both in appearance and cost. Looking ahead for Kirby, I think it's time for it to replace its logo wordmark. I'd like to see the Jim Kirby signature logo brought back to add a classic touch. The sans serif caps logo wordmark has been in place for 16 years and counting...

    Hoover Dial-A-Matic Thrift store find

    Great deal--good for you! Your DAM/PD is a model U6039 in seafoam blue and oyster white. It was part of Hoover USA's 1978 line-up (I'm unsure how long it was produced). I read that it was one of the last 3 of the DAMs. The PDs had the flourish on the front of the bag casing. The DAMs were...

    Aerus Production - continued from thread 13578

    I searched for online news articles regarding Aerus LLC severing its ties with The Eureka Company and bringing back jobs to Virginia & Tennessee, but could only find articles such as those below. I am taking for granted that all US production has been moved back to the Bristol plant (besides...

    Prolux Vacuums

    Interesting ... I visited the ESSCO website and didn't find any mention of its own production line. Further research indicates that the vacuum cleaner trademark is also used on Aerus's Veridian line: the standard "Prolux" with an optional tool kit, and "Prolux OBT", with On-Board Tools. I'm...

    Different commercial vacuum s

    "How about the ProTeam 15XP or 1500XP?" Around 2000 ProTeam rebadged Electrolux LLC's Xtreme and Xtreme Plus commercial vacuums with the labels: "Prolux 1400" (Xtreme-type: 40' 2-wire cord), "Prolux 1400X" (Xtreme-type: 50' 3-wire cord), and "Prolux 1400XP" (Xtreme Plus-type w/onboard tools...

    Prolux Vacuums

    So I did some research and found out that the Prolux vacuum cleaner trademark has been owned since 2011 by Rocky Mountain Vacuum Brokers LLC of West Jordan, UT, which was founded in 1998. I wonder if the company is owned by former Electrolux management or if it's a division of Aerus Holdings...

    Electrolux Automatic Model G trouble

    I used the stripped twist tie in the brass nipple to remedy the same situation in my Model G. Since that didn't work for you, try blowing through the clear tubes to dislodge any blockages.

    Electrolux Corporation Trademarks

    So I found a list of 61 trademarks owned by Electrolux Corporation since 1924 @ https://inventively.com/search/trademarks/owner/ELECTROLUX%20CORPORATION. I was confused that some such as "Beautifier" were listed later on than their first usage, but that likely means that they hadn't been...

    So how long did the "wrapper" term last before it was changed to "filter bag"?
