Nice tries!
Nobody has guessed it yet! If you guys can't peg it by tonight, I just give in and reveal which vacuum was the winner anyways.
ryan1994jeep & rugsucker: Close! The Elite II was my second pick. I strongly considered buying that cleaner because it was in great shape. The cream color on it was very appealing and I knew I could get all the sharpie off the hood effortlessly with some strong rubbing alcohol. However, I ended up passing on it because it is very similar to my C1403, just with tools, a headlight, and different colors/labeling. Both draw 5 amps and have a single row brush roll and a slide-top bag. Since I have very limited space for vacuums, I cannot afford to take in a near-duplicate of something I already have (unless that vacuum is a Broom Vac).
dysonman1: If I were to re-sell the vacuum, I might have considered the DC07. However, I passed on it due to its poor condition and the howling DCO7 root cyclone system isn't really "my thing"...I prefer my similar but newer DC33. Fun fact about that particular vacuum: I noticed someone snapped off the grill that goes over the end of the handle and replaced it with a champagne cork. That sounded like a great setup if your goal is to overheat the motor!
toddk13: That edger would have been great for grooming my carpet. I'll bet it has great "edge cleaning" performance! lol
