Eureka going out of business
Actually it does work if you put the www. in the address, but usually this is not needed, without that it doesn't work.
As far as Eureka going out of business, I agree that they don't currently make anything I would be interested in, although in the past they made some awesome canisters. But most of what they make now is bagless garbage, maybe that's why Electrolux got rid of them.
