two older PN canisters on CL... dare I?

There is a Eureka Express and a Hoover Futura canister vacuum on CL each for 15 bucks. If you had to chose one of them, which one would it be?

I'd get the Eureka Express, I already have the Futura, but I think the power head is a little bit different.

The Eureka Express is a very cool design.....

I even think it was top-rated by Consumer Reports in the 1980's, primarily because the Eureka Express power nozzle with Vibra Groomer III is excellent for carpets. If it comes with the original attachments - go for it! Those Eureka tools are far better than those which came with the Futura.....you may even end up with a top of the line Eureka horse-hair dusting brush.

I'd get the Eureka as well. I was never too in love with those Futuras, the one I had was noisy and I dunno I just didn't like it. So I gave it to Dave LOL
whew got that one outta here

So Pete, it won't hurt your feelings that I recommend going for the Eureka as well. It's much classier looking.

The Futura is ok in it's next life assignment and is now up in Owen Sound being the communal Apartment vacuum for 4 students at Golf Management College.I know at least it is not being abused and being used regularly & properly as the one student, Jake, is my colleague's diligent, well turned out son.
