The Sanitaires have better attachments, including three classic separate Eureka small tools, a telescopic wand and a German rug/floor nozzle with metal sole plate. The cheaper Eurekas come with that horrible Victory combo dusting+upholstery tool and a plastic floor nozzle with just a squeegee. I think the Sanitaire also has a HEPA exhaust filter. It's worth the extra cost, methinks.
