Why does my 626 have a metal handle?Its also a K-mart vacuum. So if the 626 came after the 625 shouldn't it have a metal handle? |

If this means anything, the Eureka Dial-A-Nap upright (Model 1425 I think) that Countryguy Gary adopted from me recently is from 1982. It has the same Eureka Williams-style logo (curvey "E" in a red box) as this unit, no headlight, but also came with a two-piece plastic handle. So the plastic handles were definitely in the stores in Florida (where my parents bought it for me) in the winter of 1982-83. The ad slogan on the box was "gets the dirt you can't see" with little cartoony characters playing the dirt!
I love the moss green 2300 series uprights! Such a classy evolution from the popular and powerful Rugulators and Dial-A-Naps of the 1970's! The cool, low rise rounded hood + the cursive writing is really beautiful. Love the way Eureka branded this series - Sleek, slender and "Continental"!!! :-) My only gripe is that they should have made the Rugulator adjuster in moss green too - the red stands out too much..... |
