Eureeka's always been kind of average quality at least that's how it was first explain to me by a long-term veteran of the vacuum industry. Definitely the sanitai re line for a while Was A step above and a great product till they pulled out of Mexico. Eureeka's always tried to give people what they want which apparently is it cheaper vacuum. We definitely saw this in the 90s 2000 and today. People still expect a vacuum to be about a hundred bucks in a box store which pressures Box stores is there are pressuring manufacturers to make them cheaper and cheaper.
So what we see today is a reflection of inflation and denial that the USD now worth a third what it was 25-30 years ago.
Now that people expect more vacuum for now a third less money they're making the machine that people want a shark knock off we also TTI/Hoover doing the exact same thing. We also saw appearance copies of Dyson vacuums about 10 years ago. For the same reason people expect a vacuum to look like it has a bunch of cyclones and a clear bin assembly.
It definitely is sad to see especially after they make great products in the 80s early 90s definitely some of my favorite vacuums I've seen over the years.
