Update:

So some parts that I ordered for this came in, those being belts, filters, an upholstery tool, and a turbo brush. Fun fact, if you buy Arm-and-Hammer, Filtrete, and Durabelt branded aftermarket parts for a Eureka, you're technically buying genuine parts for it. This is because Electrolux (the European one) had some sort of partnership with these brands, and made all these parts for them to be sold under. They also owned Eureka and Sanitare starting sometime in the 90s I think. Don't believe me? Look at your pack of bags or filters under those brand names. It should say Electrolux Home Care Products somewhere around where the copyright into is.

Anyways, the 90° wire connectors came in too. I think I'm gonna put off replacing them until I get the replacement switch I ordered. I'm still waiting on that, a pack of bags, a brushroll, a set of screws, and dusting and crevice tools. Those are coming from Evacuumstore.


Focusing on the Power Paw specifically, I know it's not the right one for it, but I specifically wanted it for the Risor Visor feature, as it seems very useful. However, I can't figure out how to remove the brushroll from it. Could someone please explain?

Also, I can't figure out how fo get off the suction diverted assembly. Again, a little assistance would be nice.

Electrolux AB of Sweden bought Eureka back around 1974, after which they split off the Sanitaire line of commercial vacuums as a stand alone company. but still part of the Electrolux Group The Electrolux Group's brand for bags and filters is Menalux.
Arm & Hammer is an American company owned by New Jersey based Church &. Dwight. Filtrete is a brand name for 3M filter products. Durabelt is based in Ohio and owned by Jim Hammond, a former engineer for ARCO and NASA.
Electrolux AB sold Eureka to the Midea Group in 2018 and sold Sanitaire to Bissell in 2019.

Huh... guess I'm not as versed in my Eureka lore as I thought I was...

Still though, what I'm saying is that Electrolux had sort of deal with these brands, where they would presumably make these bags, belts, and filters, and then have them be sold under those names. Why? Idk money presumably, either way, it's very interesting.
