    A Briefly-Made Electrolux (Eureka) Boss Plus Robotic 1000W Vacuum

    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...

    Ebay: Sanitaire Deluxe canister - Model-Type 911-A (Eureka 900 Series Super Roto-Matic)

    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...

    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...

    1930s Eureka Portable Electric Range model AHW-116

    Online Sale - something I'd heard of but had yet to see until now. I located newspaper ads for it from 1930 to 1939. The attached is from the March 31, 1930, edition of the PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE. Looking up both design patents using Google's search engine, I discovered that the inventor was...

    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...
