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!!!

Thank you Robert for all your hard work over the years!!! Vacuumland has been such a wonderful internet home for me and for that I will be eternally grateful to you!!! Enjoy your well-deserved retirement! The new look is awesome!!! EurekaPrince Brian in Canada

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...

Lots of General Electric vacuums in the 1940’s and 1950’s were coloured in brown tones - often a combination of “milk chocolate” bodies and attachments with “dark chocolate” bumpers and highlights. My parents’ first vacuum was a Canadian GE AirFlo cylinder vac in those colours. The tools look...

In Canada, we had a lot more corded canister vacs branded as Black and Decker. It seems that this may have been the result of Canadian General Electric appliances being bought by Black and Decker in Canada some time in the 1980’s. All our CGE toaster-ovens and irons became B&D items at some...
