The Excellio for the USA, branded for Eureka as the Europa home cleaning system had a modified three wire coupling on the canister end, and the Eureka gas pump handle with a three position switch. Power on, off, and brush on. Rather than the wireless remote control, the motor speed is regulated by the red slider on the top. When this handle was used on the subsequent Oxygen series, the red slider was an air bleeder. The switch was only a two position for the beater brush. Main power was on the canister. A sliding electronic speed control is on the top for models 6997, and the first series 6998. Later model had the speed control handle mounted.

The Eureka 6984 "Home Cleaning System" also had the sliding power control and three position rocker switch on its hose. I have one. The identical looking 6982 hose has a mechanical air bleeder and a simple two position rocker switch to turn the power nozzle on and off. I have one of those too. Like I said, I'm weird for these European Eureka models. The Eureka version of the Excellio is way up there on my Holy Grail list.

I admire the euro Eureka's too. Sadly the only one I have is the first series blue Oxygen 6997. I regret not buying the Excellio version when I saw it new. I guess I like it because it's more Miele looking. When our central vac needed a new power unit, I wanted a Miele C-3 Mari blue, Red complete, or black Brilliant, but I was shot down.
