Does anyone know what year this Windsor Versamatic 14 is from, there is nothing on the vacuum that indicates what year it is from. Please tell me if you know the year this Versamatic is from.

Where it says vse 1/3 is the model.
windsor versamatic vse 1/3 is its full name. I. Guessing on the age late 90s to mid 2000s. Commercial vacuum used in hospitals and commercial market. Karcher from Germany is the manufacturer of versamatics. The earlier versions were eectroluxes. Which leads me to believe whoever owned Electrolux made versmatics. I could be off a little but there is |

Windsor Vacuums are manufactured by Sebo and always have been. They have never been associated with Electrolux. Karcher recently purchase Windsor, but the vacuums are still Sebo.🙄 |

I'm glad every chimes in after I comment. If you also read I wasn't certain other than Karcher owns it. I got the model number and manufacturer correct.
I was wrong on Electrolux but they made vacums very similar. Next time answer the question instead of being a wallflower. I made an effort and looked it up but there isn't much info anywhere. |

Upright made by aerus.
The wide nozzle that's very distinct and fund on luxes for years. You can see the similarities. Sebo has been in business since 1978. Electrolux had the wide nozzle before 1978. Orecks, proteam and a few others now have a similar nozzle.

It was first made as the PN5 Omniflow Automatic power nozzle in 1984 and sold with the Silverado canister. They didn’t make it into a 2 motor upright until 1986. |

I think you need to read more on vacuum and there origin. As they say its better to not say anything than confirm your miss inform ..... ya feel me ? He answered properly because you spread the wrong info. Windsor has neever been around Electrolux Aerus or any Lux machine .Electrolux came from sweeden with consilated food and eelectrolux sweeden then came to the American market in the 20s . (tristar aerus or lux before aerus ) .There made by Sebo INC Dont get defensive when you being corrected. |

I looked for an hour on the history of the vacuum. I found the model number and manufacturer. I tried to find a link between the 2 companies but Windsor isn't anywhere. I provided a picture of an electrolux probably made before the versmatic.
I couldn't find anything and I did research. You and nobody else said anything until I posted. I'll write what I can prove. Notice I said I'm not positive on my first post. I'd more members posted and helped other members we would not have a problem. Look through the threads and if people are looking for help I do what I can. Y Step in and help or sit back and post nothing and help no one like most members on VL. |

I love these Windsor Versamatics from Sebo. They're excellent vacuums for commercial cleaning. I personally like these better than the Lux versions but what I really like the best are the Italian made Lindhaus RX uprights.

This link is for an old thread that goes over the history of early Sebo's starting with the 350 (The original Versamatic that Bisonian is referring to.) and the 360 Electronic. Known over here in the states as the Windsor Versamatic.
This is an excerpt from Sebo's official catalogue. (The one in the image, posted above this.) In 1978, two engineers founded SEBO in Velbert, Germany. Since then, SEBO has become the most important manufacturer of high-quality, commercial vacuum cleaners in the world, with sales in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. Millions of SEBO vacuums have been sold to hotels, hospitals, schools . . . even The White House! SEBO’s first shipment to the U.S.A. was in 1979, which was for commercial-cleaning customers, followed by its duo-P Cleaning Powder in 1984, and its household vacuums were launched in 1997. Today, SEBO stands as a synonym for high-quality vacuums in commercial and retail markets worldwide. Sebo's "shipment to the U.S.A." was the first shipment of Windsor vacuums. This means that Sebo US was established in 1997. I thought this important to post as it has release dates for each of the various models. Here's that link to the thread.
