Brand New Eureka at Walmart!

[gj3476]

So earlier today my mom and I were shopping at Walmart and I went to the home section to look at the vacuums and I happen to saw this new Eureka they were selling and it looks so nice and it looks like a new car like a Dodge or some other luxury car. What do y’all think?

Here’s something you don’t see on Eureka vacuums anymore today! That’s the Eureka Williams electric E symbol that most of the vintage vacuum collectors may recognize! This was last seen and used on Eureka vacuums from around 1968 to 1983. Never thought of this at all.

Pretty cool!

I'm really not into much new stuff, but I like the copper colored accents and the throwback "E" logo!

I think there was a thread on these awhile back, where a photo was posted of one vacuuming the red carpet or something.

I do think it's an interesting looking machine and I like the classic logo. I will say, it was mentioned that the cyclonic system on this is probably the best one Eureka has had so far, so it is an improvement there.

To me it looks like it will be clunky and unwieldy to use. Too much flashy plastics like so many other vacuums today.

The old logo is the ONLY good thing on that vacuum.The fake "bolts" on the rear wheel made me laugh!!!Look,its just another dumpster vacuum--the pretty plastic will become cracked,broken,and dirty.Then the poor machine will end its life in the dumpster-then you buy another one and start over!!!The cycle repeats again.The only vacuum I saw in the WalMart vacuum display was a bagged Bissel upright.Thats the ONLY one I would buy from WalMart.

Tolivac, you’re pretty much right! I was thinking the same thing that it has better grooming performance and never loses suction due to being bagged and pretty soon I’m thinking about buying one of those.

Looking again at that "Wheel" makes me think of wheels on the cheap lawnmowers sold at WalMart.More I look at that vacuum the more I laugh at it.If I saw a "luxury" car that looked like that vacuum I would run for the car dealerships door!The tread on the vacuums wheel is also funny.NO THANKS on that vacuum.Buy the bagged Bissel instead.Think that one would last longer and work better.Those cheap flashy bagless vacuums don't last long-fine dust and dirt manages to get into their motors and tears up the bearings.Esp if the owner doesn't read the manual for the machine and doesn't change or clean the motor filters.

It's a Eureka Floorrover, they came out early last year. It's hideous, but it has charm, and I want one too.

For me, whenever I see it, it makes me think of...

Even with the old Eureka logo back, that doesn't mean the machine will be good.
