Well, in the case of the Duo-Power, I've seen examples as early as 1966, which means they were only 3 years behind Hoover developing a clean-air upright.  Each had their advantages and disadvantages, but overall, I think Hoover built a more durable cleaner, which is why so many more DAM's survive today.  It could well be that many Duo-Power's were put out at the curb when bags were no longer available.  That's one of the drawbacks of Kenmore - you were always at the mercy of Sears to obtain replacement parts.  When the Concept came out, even Eureka jumped on the bandwagon, and made their own version with the Precision.
