My Collection

[ericaustin]

Ok, so I really didn't know where to post pictures of my collection so far because its mostly after 1980.. I have always been an enthusiast but just recently began collecting. The Dyson 07 I got for free from a coworker who didn't like it. The Hoover Runabout upright *cheap plastic* is a work in progress that will probably get sold on craigslist once I fix it. I use the Eureka Boss for quick cleanups. I just obtained the Concept One from Goodwill and it is also a work in progress. The Eureka Canister Model 3334A is my personal favorite.. I obtained it off craigslist for 25.00 brand new in the box! I love 1980's machines so I had to have it, but it mostly stays in the box and doesn't get used too often. The Dyson is my daily driver at the moment because of it's power.

Eric that Eureka is SWEET! How long have you had it?

Hey Logan,

I got that last summer for cleaning bare floors ;-) Too bad it's so hard to find H style bags for it.. and forget about finding filtrete bags for it!

Eric I'm impressed! That's a great vacuum.

Eureka!

I've got that same canister... I got it as a present, brand new in 1990/1991... when my parents got their Dimension 1000. I remember going to buy it at K-Mart. God, I was so excited, I could have jumped out of my skin.

Seeing that box brings back memories! I still have it, haven't used it in quite some time. I do need to find two of those white wands, as I think mine went missing long ago.

Perhaps I'll pull it out and give it some much needed attention.

I think that Eureka type H bags are still relatively easy to find--any vacuum store should have them...

Or...

I like that Eureka canister, the floor tool is the same as the one on "The Boss" Mighty Mite, which is a fantastic little cleaner itself. I will be watching for any older Eureka canister.

I'm sorry, something is wrong here, double post. While I'm here again I'll mention I had two '60s Eureka canisters, one at a time, a cheaper one and a much nicer one, which I wish I still had.

Fabulous Eureka

You don't see those around anymore especially in that new of condition, we have an old family owned hardware store thats going out of business after forty something years,they had bags for my Houskeeper Plus so I bought them all at 50 percent off,they had a lot of obsolete bags,I'll see if they have the H bags.
