Back in the eighties I had an absolutely gawdawful Eureka plastic canister vacuum. Every time you turned it on, it smelled like wet dog, which was interesting, since I didn't own a dog at the time. The disposable bag had to be slid onto a small metal framework at the front of the vacuum where the hose came out, and you never could get bags that would easily slide into the bag holder for it, despite buying the bags labeled for that model. Suction was minimal: It was one of those backbreakers where you ended up stuffing dust bunnies into the floor nozzle to get the thing to pick them up! I wish I could remember the model name, but it was a shade of light faux metallic green body. There was always something more pressing to spend my money on at the time than a replacement vacuum, so it only got replaced when I plugged it in one day and a spark and flame shot out of the attached cord. And yeah, I think I got it at a warehouse store. Horrible work of Satan!
