Mid late 60's.
New shapes sold well. I think the vibra-beat is cool. Most say they don't pick up well. I have one with only one row of brushes, and it does pick up well. Some had a knob to retract them.

It was eureka's answer to the Hoover portable. Except the Eureka had awesome suction, and attachments that actually cleaned something.

I noticed when moving some of the blue Eurekas that I have a standard version of this with no suction control or bag signal and one less tool peg on the removable rack with no Vibra Beat nozzle.

Looks like a Hoovrah Celebrity copy to me...Though this one looks mighty nice!

The Crown Princess and the Hoover Celebrity both borrowed the disc-shaped design from the innovative Sunbeam flying saucer of the early 1960's. And speaking of Sunbeam, I think they really were the most successful in designing a vac that stored all tools on board - including the hose and wands - with their groovy 1970's Challenger vac. It was pure genius to use the wand storage as a way to push the canister around! And who can forget the cool upholstery nozzle with the stainless steel bottom plate? I liked the chocolate brown version best....

Tom! Great vacuum! But as I recall, didn't that machine have a plastic wand end instead of a metal one because Eureka couldn't get a metal end to fit? Show us the end, please!

I really like the onboard bag storage. Such a practical feature.

You're right. The curved metal hose end that was standard Eureka, did not fit into the clip that held the hose to the side of the cleaner. They were pretty smart to make the plastic one. Note that the blue hose was also one foot shorter than other Eureka canisters, again, to wrap around the side of the cleaner.

The Sunbeam was VERY much ahead of its time. The Dual Deluxe had the most powerful motor at the time, and turned the Turbine Brush as fast as an electric power head.

I agree with you Brian, the Sunbeam Challenger was very innovative.

If anything, the Hoovrah Celebrity was based on the Sunbeam Dual Deluxe. Motor was oriented the same way, with fan(s) at the bottom, U-shaped bag, and round shape.

Yes, thinking about it the Hoovrah came out in the 70s. The dual deluxe is 60s. My Great aunt had a Dual Deluxe. She also had a roll easy, DAM 1100, and Eureka Self Propelled with a cordwinder
