Welcome Santi! You are definitely going to need a vintage 1950’s Regina Elektrikbroom to hang in your broom closet! Most suburban homes in North America had one!

Eureka! I found it! At about the same time, Home Depot began selling special edition Hoovers with the name “Farrington” emblazoned on the models!!!

If my memory serves me correctly, I think Hoover may have countered this Eureka initiative with a designer series of their own during the same time period. Hoover experts?

Welcome fellow Canadian! My focus has always been on Eureka vacuums because I grew up with a Canadian-made blue 260 upright in the 1960’s. Learning about Eureka’s Canadian connections really re-enforced my obsession over the years. Eureka’s founder Fred Wardell was a Canadian from Toronto...

My fave Eureka from the 2000’s: The Eureka SmartVac upright with the shortcut diverter for carpet cleaning and full size onboard World Vac tools. Easy to change bag too!!!

My parents’ first vacuum was similar. It’s from the late 1940’s early 1950’s. The only thing that seems to be missing is the plastic upholstery nozzle.

Sounds nice….I guess you could use the supplied upholstery nozzle on the end of the wand to clean far under furniture if necessary. The website shows a nice wide upholstery nozzle included in the tool set.

Wow!!! It is a knock-off of a Panasonic design!!! I miss seeing Japanese vacs in our stores here in North America….

I like that Rose Gold Kenmore Intuition upright…especially since you can shut off the brushroll for bare floor cleaning. How well does it perform? Is it easy to use?

Here is YouTuber “Konstellation Karl” showing the full line up of the green Continental series - see link below. He claims they are from 1978. Thanks for this video Karl!!! 🙏

Love these “Continental” Eurekas with that sleek rounded motor hood! The cool thing about this design: the name “EUREKA” lights up along with the headlight when the motor is turned on!!! I think this series came out in 1976 or 1977 if I am not mistaken. Maybe 1978?

Though I am not a big fan of Dyson moving their manufacturing out of the UK, I have to admit this new bare floor stick vac looks amazing!!!!

Thank you, Paul!

As a Canadian, I am grateful for the work of the US Armed Forces next door as they indeed help the smaller Canadian army protect the free lives we live on the North American continent. That blue Eureka 1779 Power Team is one handsome cleaner!!!!

That is so cool! Love the classic white Eureka tools! Though the plastic ones yellow a lot over time.

As much as I love Eureka, I was very dissapointed with the hose handles these Power Teams had. The original 1973 Roto-Matic Power Teams had a molded rubber hose handle that gave the user a safe and comfortable grip to hold on to while vacuuming. A few years after these cleaners debuted, Eureka...

I always liked that cool looking British-made Hoover Harlequin canister with the wire tool rack. They were sold in Canada in the 1960’s - not sure about the USA. I also love my Hoover Platinum Lightweight bagged upright - I really think one of Hoover’s best modern uprights! So easy to use and...

Sweden’s large multinational Electrolux company bought up many vacuum companies over the decades since the 1970’s. Because of this, they owned the rights to put many different brandnames on many different cleaners (Electrolux, Eureka, AEG, Sanitaire, Volta, Eureka-Forbes in India, Progress...

Taking a closer look at the first post, I can now see some green splotches that match the motor hood’s colour. I stand corrected…it’s probably the original bag.

I must have had the 1425F. The two-piece handle was plastic. The Dial-a-Nap had 4 settings. The logo on both the nose of the motor head and the bag was the classic Eureka Williams font in a box with the boomerang E+W graphic. The brandname was on a stiffer plastic add-on label on the bag in...
