Bissell Owns Sanitaire Now????

[bagintheback]

I don't read about the current vac market as much as I used to, but I do know Eurkea "Electrolux" was sold off about a year ago. But today I went to the Sanitaire website, and right on the bottom it says 2019 BISSELL Inc. Have I really been gone that long haha? I thought Bissell was keeping with the rebadged "Perfect" lineup. I suppose it's better than a TTI buyout but Bissell was not something I was expecting to see.

If anyone has the story, I'd love to hear it.

Not suprising bissells commercial line has been ripping off saintare for a while if they continue the course then there should be no issue

better late than never.

A little late to the party on that one.

There's definitely some previous threats about this.

Electrolux

Electrolux has completely pulled out of the vacuum market, at least in the United States, not sure about Europe. They sold Sanitaire, Beam and Eureka and have also discontinued their Ultra One canister series that was under their own brand.
