The Mighty Mite has been around for a long time. I have one from the 80's I think. The person I got it from is 50+ years old and he said he got it before he was married! It's more of a square shape.

Love the fact that the description for the WindTunnel canist

"Covered tool storage area includes 6' hose, 2 chrome extension wands.....and 15' power nozzle."


Boy, that's one magical tool storage area!

There have been three versions of the Eureka Mighty Mite....

The first version was on the market in 1987 - I bought one with chrome wands for my brother as a wedding gift. The Mighty Mite II (with the World Vac style tools) was on the market in 1997 - it had a very good German Miele style carpet/floor nozzle with a metal sole plate. What we see now in stores is actually the third version with that horribly useless combination dusting brush/upholstery nozzle, and a brushless carpet nozzle.

My Mighty Might Boss has black plastic wands and tools, and the flimsy hose, but what a little sucker! I love it, I could swear my brother bought it for mom in the late '80s, and that's when the Lux Model L disappeared.

I remember those exact pages....

that was from about the time that i had Aunt Marys convaertible (green model U1307) and moms convertible (butterschtch U4119), and also more importantly the time i started noticing vacuums. (great i just made it sound like puberty!)

The scary thing about the Orecks is that these same models were still on sale for the same price when I managed an Oreck store in 2003!

WOW thanks Kyle!!!

This does bring back memories. I worked for sears in 97, and got to use most of those vacs. I purchased the Windtunnel Supreme then and got it for less than 200.00 with my dicount, I also bought the turbo power 2000(aka futura) canister, I still have it,its at a friend's house I converted it to a PN vacuum. The windtunnel had a short and lasted 3months. I took it back for an Elite type turbo power cause they were out of the w/t...

Can't believe I remember those exact pages!

Especially the Eurekas, only ours was yellow other than that exactly the same as the ones pictured. I always wanted the Hoovers, unfortunately I didn't know at the time that they would become chinese pieces of crap.
