Eureka Williams introduced the "Whisk" hand & portable vacuum cleaner in 1964, a year after debuting its Lightweight stick vacuum. Both used the same motor. These take Style "E & R" bags. I am guessing that the double letter ID may be the result of combining the Whisk bags & the Model 120...

Ran across this and thought it would be of interest. It includes various brands of model IDs that had been floor models and demonstrators; discontinued models and repo's. One has to wonder if the floor & surface care industry had a blue book of sorts to help determine such pricing or if...

Compiled from available information online and in a parts booklet: 1878 Edison Electric Illuminating Company of New York founded by Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931). April 24, 1889 Edison General Electric Company is incorporated uniting the stocks of three Edison manufacturing companies: Edison...

Yet another type of vacuum cleaner onto which I stumbled—ones inside us. I wondered if we also have something like floor polishers in our bodies, too, but found nothing that the medical community uses as an analogy to them. :) Autophagy, an internal cleansing system, would be the closest...

Thank you, U. S. veterans, for defending our country and the world! Red, White, and Blue cleaners selected randomly from online. Feel free to add your own.

Founded on this date in 1775, the U. S. Marine Corps is 250 years old! Thank you to all the brave patriotic men and women—including my dad and cousin—who have served in its ranks. Scarlet and gold are the official colors of the organization, so I rounded up some online photos of electric...

I was unaware of this technology.

In the 1950s several new editions of previous works of Archimedes of Syracuse, a Greek mathematician and scientist, were published in the US. These may have inspired Eureka execs to ride the wave and design its Golden Crown Super Roto-Matic canister vacuum based on the legend of Archimedes and...

I have been unable to find any advertisements or other information on the Prestige so far. My research indicates that the Swivel-Top's pn port was first added to some of the models in 1976, so it was made between then and the early 1980s. The photo's are from a Texas estate sales website. The...

Z1359? It lowered itself to the ground when in operation and was programmed to robotically traverse from one cleaning area to another. This Boss Plus was quite the performer and time-saver, but there were too many complaints that it always managed to get in the way of TV watching and quick...

The seller is unknown to me. Attached are 3 photos of it and one of the similar Eureka Heavy-Duty canister model-type 948-A originally posted by OpelGTKarl. Both were marketed in the early- to mid-'60s and enameled in Eureka's main color of the time, Lagoon Blue. My guess is that Sanitaires...

This post is the last installment of the Electrolux (Aerus Lux) Exhibition of UK, US, & CA surface care appliances featuring the upright models. It, too, is a guide rather than an historical record; being mainly based on observations, conversations, and recollections. By the way, US and...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/127081625846 Listed as a LX, but it has the permanent wheels & caster which indicate that it's a LXI. The model only sold for less than a year between 1955 and 1956 being discontinued when the lighter Automatic Model E premiered. The seller is unknown to me.

Back in the day, floor conditioners were popular among Electrolux customers worldwide; however there is less online information about them than on vacuum cleaners, so I collated the attached online photos and data from online sales, Doug Smith's website...

Electrolux UK (1921), US (1924), & CA (1931) online photos & information collected, organized, and posted here as a guide rather than as an historical record. A limited amount of company literature was available to me as a resource; instead the information is largely from observation...

This thread is a continuation of a discussion on thread 44672: https://vacuumland.org/threads/1980s-viking-241-electronic-canister-vacuum.44672/ The discussion piqued my curiosity about the AB Electrolux & Lux brand (and related companies) D/AP/S Series, so I searched for online information...

The Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company was founded in 1909 by Fred Wardell and incorporated in the State of Michigan on this day in 1910. Attached is a history I compiled (recently revised) and some other items to mark the occasion...
