thank you so much for your GREAT wealth of information, on the eureka canister vacuums. you know everything, right on point!!! and you are right! i actually do have the separate wands with the shorter curved one, all together standing in the corner of the closet, where i keep my eureka, for exactly what you said, to have ready so when i need to use the bare floor attachments, i can easily disconnect the power plug from the power nozzle & just connect the the regular metal wands & choose which attachment (bare floor, upholstery brush, duster brush, or crevice tool) i want to use next.
your messages are very informative & interesting to read. thank you so much for your replies!!!
