They made the hot shot in '85? Wow I never thought of that. And yes Eureka is the very best vacuum cleaners! I gotta make a YouTube channel one day and show y'all my vacuum collection.
 
I noticed it uses the same bottom fill bag design as the Hoover convertible where they use type c bags. Soon I'll be using Kirby micron magic filtered bags for this one and my deluxe convertible U4189! I learned that from air-waycharlie that he posted 11 yrs ago.
 
Hi Gabriel...yes indeed, this is from way back in the 1980’s....it’s a precursor to the black “The Boss” that came out soon afterwards. Both names have that similar “powerful, confident, arrogant” sound to them! :-).

Eureka never had a bottom fill bag for their Dial-a-Nap uprights. The correct bag is Eureka’s top fill F&G bag.
 
It’s hard to see from your photo, but if that bag has a long paper throat that would drop the dirt from the top into a separate dust collection sack, then you have the correct bag. If it’s just a long bag that connects to the throat at bottom, it’s not the correct bag - even though it will work, just not as good as Eureka’s special bag design.
 
Then I guess I was right the first place, this was made in 1990, because this one has the previous eureka logo that was used from 1989/90 to 2009, but if this made in 1985 it would have the 1982/83-89 logo which looks similar to the other one, if you know what I mean.🙂
 
CrazyKirbyDude, I kinda hate to tell u this but please don't get upset lol, I have a 2012 Eureka Power Plus that I got for my 16th birthday and a 2014 Eureka Airspeed One for my 18th birthday, they both came from Walmart, sooo yea. They both work good. But I agree that the older eurekas work a lot more better.
 
So I think I got this right. Eureka Helvetica logo: 1982/83 - 1989. Hey I noticed your named KirbyClassicIII, if you want, I can show you some pics of my '77 Classic III soon.
 
Decent Kirby collection! I only have 2 so far, the classic iii is in the closet but here's my '57 model 517 which I'll make another post about it soon!😊

Gabriel,


 


What a nice looking 517 (1957-58)! It originally had these gray parts: bag, Emtor bottom and wheels, and red trim for the handle grip, foot switch, and the headlight and nozzle bumpers. It also used to have a gray cord with red plug ends.


 


In fact, the original tool set had almost all the tools in red (even though the Classic III ones are perfect substitutes)!

That Kirby was given to me as a present for my 12th birthday by my 6th grade teacher in '08, she was one of the best teachers in my school years, and yes it probably did had the original red/gray parts but this was factory rebuild in September '96, sadly the factory rebuild sticker came off 4 yrs ago so I don't know the actual serial number to this one, but most of all, the Kirby works really awesome. 60 years old!
