Eureka Power Team - Model 1514-A

Hi guys,

Just my two cents worth: these are not “combo tools” as they are meant to be used on carpets only. Eureka provided a separate bare floor brush with all of their canisters up until the 1990’s. The Mighty Mite II with the sleeker profile and hidden tool storage in the back came with a combination carpet/floor nozzle mads by Wessel Werk.

Paul,

Not mine... just using pictures from relevant eBay auctions that I can find.

Thanks, Brian, for the clarification. The brush's advertised use for both floors & walls—influenced the "combo" moniker. See the parts pamphlet below—originally posted by Keither in thread 40279.

Gotcha, Ben.

I looked up the trademark for "Edge & Corner Kleener" (what Eureka refers to its deluxe carpet nozzle) and the first time it was mentioned anywhere was sometime during November 1980, which fits in with your guess as to it being introduced in 1981. However, it had not actually been filed as a trademark until 1987.

Eureka also had a trademark for "Brushed Edge & Corner Kleener" which had a first time anywhere date of August 1984, but as with the other trademark, wasn't officially registered until 1987.
