The Power of the Excalibur ⚔️🛡

[gj3476]

Good morning vacuum lovers, I would love to show you another one of my vacuums of my collection and I think y'all probably be thrilled on where I got this vacuum. A Eureka Excalibur bagged upright vacuum model 2064. I had this vacuum for 2 yrs and I saw this at cash America pawn, brought it for $20! This was the cheapest vacuum they had and the rest were used dysons, Hoover t-series, and I think some sharks, they were like $40 or $60 for one of those! So I test her out and it works perfectly well! All it needed was a new belt, but the only attachments it had were the wand and crevice tool, but a couple weeks ago I finally got a new dusting brush and all it needs is the upholstery nozzle. So I hope y'all enjoy these pics!

Last year, I happened to found a genuine reusable bag for Excalibur uprights on eBay for $12! Better than trying look for the original disposable bags! It even came with a washable filter!

The attachments.

It also has a 2 speed switch, one for floors and one for carpets!

I remember when these were new. I never used one until a few years ago when I came across 2 of them, a red one and a green one.

Forgot to add the serial number pic, and I think I got this right. 3rd week of 1997, January.

I'd love to get one of these, but its one of those, when one falls into my hands sort of machines. $20 would be about my limit for one, and it'd have to be this nice too.

Neat I always thought these were really cool. They were the same era/idea as the Bissell Lift Off, two motor, clean air design.

I haven't seen any of these around. I believe Consumer Reports rated them not to clean all that well and I recall some had issues with the switch due to the amount of current from the two motors.

These are supposed to have a floor brush also, I don't recall if it stored on board or not. I know some Eureka uprights came with a bag to store it in.

Reggie, next time you drive to Tom's stop by. I'll save one for you. I don't need 2 of them.
