Electrolux vacuums to become extinct?

You're funny! Your disagreement with presented facts or premises based on available information can be refuted with your opinions and/or friends' limited knowledge rather than news releases, photos, or company statements.

The 2003 news release of the closing of the Bristol factory accurate, or it would have long ago been retracted or redacted.

Where is your proof that TriStars were manufactured - not just assembled - at Bristol? I found no online verification of this.

The other site in West Virginia where the Lux Classic and Lux Legacy tank parts are manufactured must be an outsourced company's plant; just as I suspected all along. AP Science Group LLC's plants are in Bristol, VA and Greenville, TN; along with a distribution plant in Piney Flats, TN according to its webs

I e-mailed Aerus to ask about the March 2003 plant closure article in that newspaper article. When / if I hear back I'll report whatever they tell me. I also asked about their current production.

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 snug it up. I ordered new snap buttons from Amazon that also fits the Rainbow E2, because that fell off because the plastic around the rivet enlarged from wear and fatigue. New hoses are not available and a replacement handle is $50-$60. Not original style. I bought it new in 2002.

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.
