Eureka 3320 B

[justjunque]

Hi all,

I don't see too much posted here regarding Eurekas.
I was visiting family, and spotted a little dark blue Eureka canister vac in their garage.
Flipping it over, the tag says 3320 B.
It's in great cosmetic condition, but I have no idea if it works.
All it seems to have with it is the hose and a crevice tool.
I'm not even sure if the crevice tool is original to it.
I don't see any provision for connecting a power nozzle.
The bigger Eureka my mom had back in the day, had an electrical connection next to the hose where the cord to power the power nozzle plugged in.
Mom's also had a tool caddy on top of the canister where all the attachments stored.
This little guy doesn't have that either.

I couldn't find any information online about this model, so I figured I'd consult the pros.
Was this a common model?
Do you know about how old it would be?
Is it a decent little machine?
Did it have a power nozzle originally, or was it more of a light duty vacuum?
That was my guess, based on its small size.

Thank you in advance for any information!

Barry

Barry,

The 3300 and 3700 series canisters indeed do not have any provision for the Roto-Matic Power Team nozzle. You would be looking for a 1200, 1500, 1600 or 1700 series if so.

I would appreciate it if you could upload pictures here of your 3320B, please.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the reply.

It's actually not my vacuum. I spotted it in the garage of an extended family member whose home I was visiting.
Sorry...I didn't get any pictures of it, and I'm not sure when I'll be there again.
I had just never seen one like it, and was hoping someone could inform me a little bit.
When they were made, how common they are, if it's a good little machine, etc.

I've heard rumors that this same individual also has an orange and brown Hoover Portable kicking around somewhere too.
I haven't spotted that one though.
