    4 Types of the Eureka model 2010 Dial-A-Nap

    While Eureka is known for its "Types" (successive changes and/or upgrades beginning with Type A), it's uncommon for the same model to have several different color schemes; instead the differences are often other features such as the brush roll, motor amps, and bag cover. The model 2010, which...

    Eureka & Kleenex Late '60s - Mid '70s "Jewel" design

    The Kleenex tissues Jewel box design was first used in 1969 in several different colors. It appears to me that Eureka's upright nameplates, made from 1972 to 1977 or so have a similar look. Quite possibly one of Eureka's designers just happened to have a box of Kleenex on her/his desk while...

    Eureka F & G "Apples" Set

    Also known as the "Imperials" with the "Mod" bags in some ads as a promotional set in the early 1970s. I give you red (2020-RR), golden (2010-RY), and green (2044-RG) deliciousness in online photos. I know that Eureka used a "Rallye Gold" enamel around that time, so it may be that these were...

    Bag Cover/Jacket Sizes & Airflow/Air Watts

    I'm curious to know if any VL contributor has tested the airflow/air watt impact of bag cover or jacket sizes and/or has any other knowledge about the variances? I am most familiar with Hoover (Convertibles) and Eureka (F & Gs) touting the sizes in their newspaper ads by quarts and cubic...

    In Honor of US Armed Forces Day

    I'm grateful for the service and sacrifices of the men and women in the United States Armed Forces and their families. The six branches of the US military are: the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Space Force, and Coast Guard. Their seals surround the United States flag, also known as...

    Surface Care Appliances & Shoes in Browns & Beiges

    I prefer products and other things in their original forms and colors, but a repainted beige & brown Electrolux Automatic E currently listed on eBay caught my eye as an attractive exception; if it were mine I would paint the wheels and handle in brown, too. Anyway, it reminded me of brown &...

    2 Electrolux B9 Designs—United States & Sweden

    The B-9 Floor Beautifier in 2-tone gray (presumably 550W/120V as its DJ successor) was only made for about a year to replace the longtime model B-8 Carpet Beautifier-Floor Polisher before being succeeded by the B-10/1522 Diamond Jubilee version (literature stated "B-10", while the ratings plate...

    Electrolux Ornaments—Model XXX, 4 Model G versions, 50th Jubilee/Super J, Olympia One

    Not my sale or anyone I know ... 3-D printed and painted. The 50th Jubilee/Super J one is incongruent to the actual cleaners due to having fins on its bumpers, which were only on the Olympia One 1401-B & 1505 and Silverado Deluxe 1505. It may be that uprights will be made along with worldwide...

    Electrolux Ambassador ... Model Z337 from Australia

    I had no idea that an Electrolux made in a country outside the US and CA was given an identifier besides Lux-O-Matic; and that it matched one used by the US and CA Electrolux companies in the 1980s to early '90s. The Z337 is similar in design to the UK's unnamed Z330.

    Eureka 1981-1984 Animated Ad Campaign

    "Eureka Gets Dirt You Can't See" was the campaign tagline featuring Carpet Critters produced by the award-winning Kurtz and Friends animation studio, including animators Robert Peluce and Bob Kurtz, with direction by Mr. Kurtz. One of several television commercials: Photos: 1. 1981 Apr 30...

    1970s Errands—including an aqua Electrolux Model G

    Online photo—not my family Dad tries out his new Polaroid while his loving wife and children oblige him before leaving for home in their (paneled?) station wagon after a grocery store haul. Seems the ol' Model G needed a new hose and maybe got a tune-up to boot!

    Electrolux Corp. Model XXX and Model LX - Weights ... ? for Alex Taber

    Hi Alex, I have no recollection of seeing the actual weight measurements of the Model XXX or Model LX stated on Vacuumland or elsewhere. However, I came across an online preview of the 1954 Consumers' Research Annual Cumulative Bulletin which did. I am taking for granted that neither had a...

    USA Semiquincentennial in 2026 - Anniversary Models?

    The United States of America is planning to celebrate its Semiquincentennial, or 250th anniversary, in 2026. I'd like to see industries, such as the electric floor & surface appliance one, designate anniversary-themed products to mark the occasion as The Hoover Company and The Eureka Company...

    1972 Eureka F & G Promo Model Ad

    This is a Lowe's ad from November 15, 1972, so the F & G has to be from the 2000 Series. Until now, I have not seen a box top bag cover (appears identical to the ones used on the Vanguards and other high end models) on a Classic hood cleaner (which in the '70s was typically used for mid- to low-...

    Electrolux Discovery Line & Jack Benny

    For those unfamiliar with Mr. Benny, he was a U.S. radio and television comedian who had a longstanding joke of perpetually being 39. This year marks the 39th year of Electrolux Corporation/Electrolux Canada's launch of its Discovery L-shaped upright line, so it has that in common with him...
