Montgomery Ward PowerPlus

[keither]

My Montgomery Ward PowerPlus collection is just about complete, and I couldn’t be more satisfied A blast to the past ( Circa 1982 I believe ) MW and Viking are my favorite of the Eureka rebadged machines. HNY everyone Please no thread hijacking or adding Ebay links to my post. Thx

Wow! So sparkling clean! As if the cleaners were brand new out of the box! Congrats Keith!

I always preferred the older Eureka Power Team hose handle because it seemed to be safer to grip because the cord connection was further away from your hand. The later 1980’s electrified hose handle really does not give the user a comfortable and safe place to grip the hose. Just my thoughts. I wonder why Eureka changed the design…

Wow

That's a funky design. It's really clean and stylish. It's definitely got more style than the eureka branded ones. You even got the display case.
Very nice setup thanks for sharing

Beautiful collection, Keith! As usual!
I just give you a "like" as soon as I see that you've posted pictures of another machine/machines, because you never disappoint.
I don't know if the vacuums you find are just that immaculate, or if you are a master of cleaning and detailing. If it's the latter, I'd love to know your secret!

HNY guys and thanks for the feedback! Brian the Eureka PT handles are a little different but I learned to adapt. @ Les its nice to see you again-its been a while since we last corresponded. This particular color scheme was presented in 1982, and I think it compliments the tan / cream color pretty well. @ Barry: Well buds .. Ive just been lucky in finding some good machines / some of which were left in a stasis in attics/ barns / closets / attics -or unused. The Canned Ham was found in its original box in a dumpster- ( still has that new car smell when you pull out the cord ) All it needed was a little TLC, and a magic eraser. The SP5055 A was also abandoned , and required a serious deep cleaning. Elbow grease and the correct cleaning agents can work wonders.

I don't think I've ever seen so many Montgomery Wards vacuums in one room! I love the color scheme on the upright, it really "pops".
