Love your eureka express!! I got the EXACT same one today on craigslist for $20. It's really neat, and lighter than most other canisters of that era. There are some flaws, like the cord rewinder not working, light burnt out, attachment cover missing, but it works good, has the attachments, and the only other thing is that the bearings have to be oiled- it squeaks badly!! Do you like you're express? Is the squeaking bearings common? Thanks!! -Mitchell

Nice looking vacuums. The Electroluxes look great and the Rainbows and Patriots are interesting.
BBFvac76, I have the same red Kenmore Progressive, got it at Sears for $95. Recently had to have the wand replaced under warranty, now it's working great again. I also bought that bright green BOL Kenmore, really liked the green color and wanted a BOL canister. The older style wands, pull to rewind cord and switch on the canister reminds me of the older ones. I haven't used it any, just took it out of the box to see what it sounded like and packed it away. The '70s blue one is nice too, I'd like one of those in green!

Does that Kenmore Progressive have a variable speed motor? The website says it has 3 speeds but I don't see a control for it. I see controls for the motor and power nozzle but it looks like a manual slider control for suction. Thanks.
