@1926700 <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Hi! I may not be the person who you were expecting to answer this question, but I believe that I can enlighten you some on the history of Dayton's Department Store. They were a Minneapolis-based department store chain founded in 1902...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">There's a chart on Aerus' website that shows the history of the various models they made: according to it, the Ambassador III first came out in 1987.  A link to the chart can be found below for future reference.</span>   <span...

@baglessball <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Shaun, just sent you an e-mail repsonse. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! </span> <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Can you post a picture? <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">That might help in identifying the machine.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

I don't know if the bag is washable, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">but I do know about something that I use to freshen up stinky bags!  It's a product called "ODOBAN".  I buy it at Home Depot: it's a non-aerosol spray odor eliminator that works wonders.  I used it for the...

It's nothing personal ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... it just happens to all of us at one time or another!  I, too, have had threads that were total duds while others have taken off like crazy.  So, please don't take it too hard -- and keep on postin'!  </span>  ...

Excellent finds! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I also have an XL21 and an XL2, as well as a British DC07 that runs on 240VAC and an earlier version of the Portapower -- the Swingette (which, if I might add, is today's Vacuum of the Day!).  They're all wonderful...

I'm having a hard time choosing too ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I grew up with a Model XXX (which, sadly, I no longer have); I own an Epic 6500SR with a 2100 hose and PN-5 nozzle, and I would love to have a Diamond Jubilee or Marquise. All of these machines are my...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Don't know why, but I seem to think that the carrier your pic shows was included with GE's central vacuum system, offered in the late '60s or early '70s, and not with any of their portable cleaners.</span>   <span style="font-family...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">My Sebo-made Windsor Sensor SR12 upright.</span>

It's a four-way tie for me! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Honestly - I couldn't decide on just one!  All four of these machines are beautiful to me for one reason or another.  From left to right in the picture below, my vote goes to the following:</span>   <span...

I would be willing <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">We can discuss it if you'd like to send me an e-mail off-forum at the address in my profile.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Bill W.</span>

Very interesting! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">And I have to admit, I've never thought of that particular GE as a Singer clone.  I've only ever seen one of them "up close and personal", so to speak -- it was in a Salvation Army store many years before I had 1) sufficient...

That looks familiar ... <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... in fact, it looks just like the one I have!  And no, mine is not for sale!  (Sorry, y'all.)</span>

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Doug, I am so sorry to hear of your loss -- but I am relieved to hear that no one was killed.  There is much comfort in that.  If there is anything that I can do, please let me know.</span>   <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'...

Unless there's absolutely no way that the Electrolux can <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I would try getting it fixed first.  Electroluxes are pretty much "bulletproof", in my opinion!  But, if it really does need replacement, I'd suggest any one of the following machines as...

Wait a minute! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">About the LG: isn't that radio frequency, and not infrared?  I just checked out a few pictures of one and can't find any IR diodes peeking out anywhere from the handle.  Please let me know if I'm wrong on this, though.</span>  ...

<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">... and here's why.  I just got the remote control part of my Electrolux (UK) Excellio Super Silence Z5045 back from a repair shop in North Carolina a few days ago, and was cleaning with it this morning when I got to thinking about something...

The Felix seems to be a VCCC favourite! <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">I have one too!  You simply cannot beat it for its cleaning prowess and versatility.  Here's mine in action:</span>

@eurekaprince, <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva;">Your "second thought" is the right one.  This version of the Eureka Whisk came out after GE had made its exodus from the vacuum cleaner industry.  Ergo, I'd be willing to bet that Eureka bought the rights to the design from...
