All I managed to dig up was this brief article from a magazine that mentions this model. Couldn't find any articles specifically focused on this model.

EUREKA BEGINS SHIPPING FIRST WHIRLWIND BAGLESS COMPACTS.
May 21, 2001
BLOOMINGTON, Ill.-Two WhirlWind Mighty Mite bagless canisters, one featuring HEPA filtration, are beginning to ship from Eureka.
The company also said several other models have earned the Good Housekeeping Institute's Seal of Approval.
The two straight-suction vacuum cleaners are the company's first compacts in this bagless series. The WhirlWind cyclonic lineup already covers several uprights, a full-sized canister and a stick vac. Earlier this year, the company introduced its lightest-weight upright and two others with larger, more convenient dust cups.
Both compacts were promoted as versatile -- useful for cleaning carpeting, bare floors, stairs and above-floor sites -- and easy to store.
The basic compact is model 3690. Features are said to include a 12-amp motor, a 20-foot cord, a deluxe floor brush, on-board tools and a blower port. The casing is translucent tangerine; the suggested retail price is $159.99.
Sealed HEPA filtration is offered on the 3695. This machine is rated at 10 amps, with the 20-foot cord, deluxe floor brush and on-board tools. It comes in a translucent greenish-pear hue with a suggested retail of $199.99.
These compacts follow by a few months Eureka's introduction of four Boss models: an Ultra Boss Mighty Mite, a Boss Power Plus upright with HEPA filtration and two Boss Power uprights.
The Good Housekeeping Institute seal was awarded to several models virtually across Eureka's product spectrum. Among its benefits, the seal gives users an additional warranty year.
Certified vacuum cleaners include the entire Eureka Limited Edition line. WhirlWind models are the original machines, the recent Big Cup units and the 6980 canister. Oxygen has three cited models, the 6994, 6997 and 6999.
