Unlike the GE the Eureka could have an attachment set similar to the bigger F&G upright.

Wow….a hose and attachments? I can’t imagine that the fan in the Easy Glide produced much airflow. Would be interesting to find out how powerful the motor was - ie amperage. Even the full size Eureka Super Automatic 260 from the 1960’s only had a 3 amp motor which really did not produce a lot of airflow through the optional attachment hose.

I can imagine there would be literally no pressure to keep the airflow going too.

And here’s a good example of a bagless powered carpet sweeper that has no suction fan. It’s a rechargeable sweeper from Black & Decker:

Yeah all that is is Black & Decker buying up the expired Swivel Sweeper patent and resurrecting its corpse. Thats 100% the Swivel Sweeper and they removed the rearside brush and changed a few designs with the mold.

Once a patent expires that's it. Anybody can copy something once the patent expires. No need to pay the original patent holder.

Exactly right, I was wondering why they would buy something that was already dead.
