Eureka the boss superlite

[kirbyman65]

I finally found the vacuum in the trash and one I’m very fond of, a eureka the boss superlite. Found it one the curb and just a little bit dusty other than that it works perfectly. Mine was manufactured in 2000 does anyone know if they were made before then?

Great save of a Model-Type 402-A Super Lite—congrats! My parents used to have one for their lower level family room.

The earliest ad I found in the newspaper database I access was from August 2001.

Here's one from the September 14, 2001, edition of THE MOSCOW-PULLMAN DAILY NEWS:

Eureka

Wow thank you so much! Seems as they were popular in their early days, by the way I probably read the serial number wrong so it’s most likely 2001 and up. To be sure I’ll add the serial number below.

No problem. I happened to find a 2004 ad for the 403-A EZ Kleen Pro, too, which seems similar to the 402-A-1.

Indeed

It is practically the same machine but with a different title on it. There was also a superlite widetrack, which eureka seemed to model off of (unless this is the superlite widetrack)

You've got more info about that style than me.
