How do I figure out the date this Electrolux was made?

Google.

Electrolux Ergorapido EL1062. Came out in 2012 based on oldest reviews. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Electrolux-Stick-Vacuum/3661498

Thanks

That sounds about right. I know I’ve had it awhile and got it at Lowe’s a few summers ago. The box accidentally got thrown out. So the receipt and user guide are gone. It’s always worked great although the brushroll clean doesn’t work that well anymore. It’s a disappointment that Lowe’s quit carrying Electrolux parts and cleaners because I used to get new genuine filters for this yearly. Don’t get any anymore.

You mean Eureka.

Yes, that is an Electrolux imposter!

Yep

It’s a eurekalux. It’s not bad at all. It really depends on the household it’s used in, this is my grandmothers vac. She has a couple of full size vacs that family members have gotten her over the years because they have that model and it’s “good”. She doesn’t use them and their too heavy and clunky. So for her house (just her and her Yorkey). Her yorkey doesn’t shed so theirs no pet hair. She uses it on hard wood floors and area rugs. We bought it five years ago for $99.99 on sale. It’s been a great value. In my house, it would’ve been a terrible value. Loads of pets and they shed. Mostly carpet with tile and hardwood and other flooring. The only thing in my house it would be used on is old oriental rugs. Those are full of fine dust and this has a terrible “cyclone” (if you even call it that) and is okay for hair. Overall, these machines were terrible values for the majority and were overpriced. The filters clog and the motor would have burned out on me ages ago.
