Top loading bagged Beam?!

[vacuumdevil]

Yes indeed there is a top loading bagged compact Beam central vacuum.

The seems so unlike Beam to make I just had to share it with you all here.

I've seen these before under the Eureka brand back when Beam was owned by Electrolux.

@panasonicvac really do you know the model number?
The only thing like this I've seen under the Eureka name was that yellow jacket POS

I don't but I do remember it was brown and I believe it was one of the Powerline models. There is however a red CV700 model that's called the Little Giant according to MD Manufacturing, I think it was back before Electrolux bought out Beam.

I quite like the design of these units. A good copy of an MD (but these older ones are without the onboard utility valve, making it possible to use a simple single-intake closed bag).

They are much less common labeled as Beam, but Beam has built them under the Eureka, Frigidaire, and Heatilator names. As well as, I believe, White-Westinghouse.

You now own or run a central vacuum shop? You have 2 channels and 1 is central vac based and the other is not.
I can only imagine Central vacs margins are far greater than repairing vacuums in a vacuum shop.
Is my assessment on what happened to your YouTube channels correct.
This is sort of off topic but I'm asking.
Thanks.

That's the Eureka I was telling about, thanks Owen! Honestly it looks kinda more orange than brown.
