Wonder if the DM has any relation to this style sold in the US? Similar... yet not. 2200 watts...

Cool video. Looks much better with the filter door matched, like this model. Nice sound too. Are those air inlets at the front corners of the nozzle?

And thanks, Alex, for the pics!!

I still cant grasp the idea that Eureka is allowing such blatant copies. Very good looking machines, and the built-in magnet-bumper is such an obvious idea... why the hell didnt Eureka think of that? Is the Vibra Groomer identical to Eurekas? Does it have the classic 2000-style (pancake) motor...

PS The square endcap Eureka agitators are getting harder and harder to find. You may want to get a replacement simply to avoid wearing out the original, esp if you plan on using the machine frequently. While the original Disturbulator is indeed an excellent performer (my model 260 has its...

Resist the temptation to wash that bag! I think its made of rayon and will be FRAGILE after all these years. You may find it falling apart in your hands when wet! You must lubricate the bronze bearings in that agitator before you think of running the machine. There is no shortcut around this...

ps Ive owned a DD Broom Vac and currently own a Vorwerk 117. Both these models have better airflow than classic Oreck!

I have to admit these Asian-made Eureka's have some very appealing features. How in the world can they warranty the impeller for lifetime?? Love the option of a twill bag over the coated type. Oreck has been selling rebadged machines for years. No secret. My family has owned a classic XL for a...

After months of reading about the upcoming release of this machine i'll admit i was a little underwhelmed when i saw it. First thing i would do is match the filter cover to the body. I've been staring and staring at the machine trying to figure out why i dont like it and its that ugly...

You took the words out of my mouth, Pete. I wonder what the benefit of this Permabag is over a regular ole cloth bag? Perhaps the Permabag shed collected dirt easier than cloth? Looks like the card collar on the bag locks onto the machine?

Good idea on trying the standard brushroll again. Havent used the pet hair style, but knowing the standard style i cant imagine it would have any problem with pet hair. Another thing, make sure you arent passing the machine over the carpet too fast when vacuuming. One should not use the same...

PS Good morning, Rex!

Suction/waterlift: think force or strength. An air compressor, the kind used to power a ratchet, creates very strong air pressure but doesnt move a lot of volume. A clean air machine needs strong suction to keep the narrow dirt path from clogging and to overcome the resistance from the usually...

Please do a more detailed review if you have time. Would you purchase this machine (at retail) over other similarly priced upright makes/models? Does the swivel feature provide a REAL benefit, in your opinion? Bag size? Dirt path?

This machine likely has a similar motor to my model 260. The motor is nearly identical to the 2000 series commercial motors. My 260 is 3.5 amps. Eurekas 3.5 amp 2000 series motors run very cool compared to the 1400 motors, and maintain a much more constant rpm, even under a load. Better than the...

Dusty Vacuum Hands I like that. I'm gonna remember that phrase every time i change a Hoover C bag from now on. These spec sheets have shown me models i didnt even know i wanted, like the Tempo 350 with cord reel and metal wands, or the powernozzle Tempo.

Fab. Hoover used some good colors in this era, and nicer than the 65 style bubble hood, IMO.

Since ive limited experience with Kirby, im curious about any weight difference between the two nozzles.
