In 1971, Winston and Ruth Baer started A-1 Vacuum at 1900 Russell Street in Missoula, MT. Today A-1 Vacuum is operated by their son-in-law and daughter, Tom and Tenia Lambdin, assisted by their grandson John in the service department. Since its beginning, A-1 Vacuum has built on its solid reputation of the regions best service and repair.
As flooring has evolved A-1 has added a full range of cleaning supplies and equipment for every surface in the home, including tile, laminate, wood floors, windows as well as a full range of commercial janitorial supplies, cleaning and paper products and even sewing machines and repair. We of course still have a large selection of New Vacuums and are the Regional Service center for Dyson.

I have left my original review up but will adjust it slightly. I do have my vacuum back after they had it for over 6 weeks. It is running at this point with no issues so I am thankful for that. My largest complaint is the lack of follow through and the fact that I had to continually call them for a status update on when it would be done. John did indicate that he replaced some additional parts at no cost which I certainly am thankful for. As of know as I indicated the vacuum is working as it should be. ORIGINAL POST------- I paid $359 to get a Dyson vacuum fixed. I got it home and it worked for

Great service; great products; lots of extras available; owners and employees couldn't be more hospitable and accommodating. Great local Missoula business - way to go! I needed a new vacuum. They recommended the Cirrus canister. Good price - excellent product. They steered me right. The hose got damaged (has and electric wire in it to operate the beater bar). They replaced it under warranty - fantastic service!
