Brandon,
Tis indeed a thing of beauty! You'll be glad to know that in Consumer Reports 1974 ratings of vacs, the 2042 was not only the top upright, it merited the Best Buy award for offering great performance at a very good price. I think the ranking was something like: 1. Eureka 2042, 2. Eureka 2082, 3. Eureka 2072 Eureka really did well in that year's vac tests - maybe someone could scan the report if they still have it. (We would see if my memory serves me correctly!!!!!) |

Wow, that brings back memories. A next door neighbor of ours bought that exact model in either 1975 or 76. I went with them when they bought it,,they knew i was vacuum crazy so they took me along to "Help" with the new vacuum.
They bought it from a Woolco Store,,,Woolco was the larger version of Woolworths, that sold appliances, clothes, ect. I remember using this machine when it was brand new out of the box,,,yes, it definatly had the distinct Eureka Hmmmmm to it.I remember they did not buy the hose or tools with it,,they had an orange Hoover Portable Suitcase for above the floor cleaning. HA,,good 70s memories. |

Yes, most DEFINATLY had a 'New Eureka Smell" to it,,,i remember it distinctly! All we had at home at the time(1975-76) was an old 60s Hoover Connie, and a Hoover DAM Power Drive that was nothing but trouble. How i wished i could have taken that new Eureka home with me!
Hey nice to meet another Brian! |
