Hey guys, I was just surfing ebay when I found a listing for this type of whirlwind canister. I remember seeing a post about these on here a while back. Any info on it?

I have one of those , actually I have 5 two are 100% working only in SA we didn't get it with a PN .


They were sold as Eurka's in the USA but were actually designed By Electrolux of sweden and were one of the last machines to be built there.


 


This was Electroluxes answer to the cylinder dysons and they were massivly expensive when new.


This was the first bag less vacuum available in South Africa, it was also the most expensive vacuum that Electrolux had ever marketed here at the time

We had them here in stores like JC Penny and Macy's. Sears also sold it under the Kenmore name. I belive it was around 1997/98. They were very expensive for what they were. The PN were one of the best but the filter clogged so fast it quickly lost suction. I beliv they were 3 or 4 hundred bucks. I think I recall seeing 299.99 at Sears. They didnt sell for long. I remember there being some returnd and they were always so dusty.

I really liked that vacuum. I had one and gave it to my brother for his college apartment, but it didn't survive his roommate. It had a terrific power nozzle with either a wood brush rool or a VG-3, which mine had. Lots of suction, very cool to look at, but its separation system let too much dust through, so I was disappointed in it overall.
