LOL—lookin' good!

So, does the "00" in the serial number indicated 2000?

I give Simplicity points for transparency in acknowledging on the ratings decal that parts are made both domestically and remotely.

The first number before the letter tells the year.

I actually did a evolution of Simplicity vacuums, but I could also make a updated version of that too.

Oh, ok. I missed it.

Here's a brief history of Simplicity's origin from acevacuums.com:

Simplicity vacuums were first introduced in the United States in 1946. The company was founded by William G. Bezzerides and is known for its sleek and modern designs. Simplicity vacuums are built with a focus on functionality, durability, and ease of use.

Here is more background of Simplicity and Riccar vacuums from vacuumsrus.com:

In the past, Riccar and Simplicity were two separate brands owned by a prominent company based in Missouri. This company was a major player in the vacuum cleaner market, manufacturing a wide range of products. Interestingly, they produced two nearly identical machines but marketed them under different brand names: Riccar and Simplicity. This strategic move was born out of the dealership territories that existed in the early days of the vacuum industry. Dealerships had agreements preventing competitors from setting up shop within a certain radius, hindering the company’s expansion plans. To overcome this challenge, they introduced the Simplicity brand, which offered the same product features, pricing, components, and warranties as Riccar. While this created more options for consumers, it also led to some confusion, as the machines differed mainly in their aesthetics, with varying colors available.

Riccar vacuums continue to be primarily manufactured in Missouri and adhere to the traditional standards of performance and quality associated with both Riccar and Simplicity in the past. They are designed to deliver reliable, high-performance cleaning, meeting the expectations of discerning customers. Riccar vacuums are favored by those seeking durable, long-lasting machines that excel in cleaning performance.

On the other hand, Simplicity products are predominantly manufactured in Asia. They cater to the entry-level segment of the market and are widely available through retailers such as Walmart.com and Amazon.com. Simplicity vacuums offer decent performance and represent good value for money. While they may not match the durability and high-performance standards of their Riccar counterparts, they serve as reliable options for those seeking affordable and functional cleaning solutions.

Acevacuums is confused because the history is off. Tacony created the Simplicity brand in 1989, I have no idea where they came up with that but it's totally unrelated. Just like the Simplicity lawn mowers as they also have no connections with the vacuums or sewing machines.

Also vacuumsrus mislead that Riccar is primarily made in the US, only partially because most of the parts are made in Asia. Tacony got into trouble with that claim before.

Simplicity Vacuum Collector

 Maybe Mr. Bezzerides began the Simplicity vacuum COLLECTOR business in 1946? Here's a 1963 Ohio newspaper archive ad:

I have the 7750 and the 6570. I also have a Symmetry Entry w/ tools. I did had a Symmetry Deluxe which I do miss alot and I had a 7300 that I'm glad I got rid of because I was unable to get rid of the bad odor, plus it wasn't one of my favorite 7 Series models anyways.
