The three blue ones pictured are the ones I keep downstairs. The others are kept upstairs where I have more room to store them. The hoover windtunnel is a few years old and holding up fairly well except for the Velcro to hold the small power attachment in place. The blue concept I just got recently and was a steal on Ebay. It is in great shape and has the newer style handle (no air freshener compartment) and stronger motor. The green and white concept on the right was my grandmothers I remember being amazed by the "power drive" when I was younger. (Probably what started my interest.)The grey concept, yellow handivac, and my most recent find the Eureka were all found on Ebay over the last couple of years. The maroon eureka is was new old stock and may turn in to being my second favorite! The only bag-less vac we own (anymore) is the grey eureka. It is in constant need of filter cleaning/replacement and has an odd setup where you have to remove the center filter before you can dump the cup. I find the bag-less vacs a mess to deal with. The Kenmore canister is great for getting under beds and its small power head is the best for stairs and furniture. We have three dogs and a cat so believe me they all get used often enough! Out of all of them the blue hoover windtunnel has the best suction. It however is also the loudest vacuum I have ever had! Anyway, glad I found this cool site!

Welcome Bill! It's great that you got your hands on a New In Box Brandywine Eureka Rugulator upright! A classic bagged vac Made in the USA which was one of Eureka's best products. It may not outperform the excellent Hoover WindTunnel, but indeed should come a close second for deep carpet cleaning.

As for the bagless Eureka...well...I too dislike bagless vacs. Eureka was already losing its mojo by the time that grey upright came out. :-(
 
Very nice "little collection!"

They all look to be very well taken care of. That bagless Eureka is actually a very good vacuum cleaner, despite the mess of the tower filter. I had one a few years back and it was very well constructed with impressive airflow and agitation. The HEPA filters on these seal VERY tight. Much better than the smaller and lighter Whirlwinds of the same era. I also dig your Eureka Cordaway. It's very pretty.
