I was going over this book and I thought it was interesting in a historical way. So I wanted to share! |

The VibraBeat is one of those floor nozzle things with the rubber bands that flap about beating the carpet while sounding like the vac has been eating cheesy beans, isn't it? Strange concept, that's for sure... |

They are noisy, hard to push on some carpets, don't pick up large debris, but they beat the hell out of the carpet! You can watch the dirt actually bounce on the carpet when it gets near it! |

Love the colour of this Eureka-made vac. Sometimes Montgomery Ward and JCPenney requested really great colours and elegantly simple graphics and labelling on their Eureka-made vacs. Just beautiful.
Thank you so much for scanning the instruction manual. It is definitely a booklet designed and produced by Eureka for MW, because the fonts, layout and styling are identical to those found in the manuals that came with Eureka Williams vacs in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Again, thank you for scanning this and posting it. Love the Model Line-Up, too! |

I will never forget the comment made by Consumer Reports when they once tested a Eureka canister with the Vibra-Beat nozzle. Their writing used to be very poetic (sometimes it still is), and they used a line penned by Shakespeare to describe this unique, but noisy, attachment: "Much ado about nothing"!!!!!!!!!!!

Both my rotomatic and my empress II have the vibrabeat nozzle. Unless you are just vacuuming dust, it pretty much is useless. Anything larger than a granule of sand can't get sucked between the vibrating bars. I've tried using it to vacuum cat litter - my Lux '89 with just the regular rug nozzle does a better job.

When changing Hoover bottom-fill bags, you have no choice but to do so... :P |

When I was very small, and my mom asked me to vacuum, she had me use the vibra-beat first, then re vacuum with the straight suction nozzle. I asked why twice, and mom said the vibra-beat was designed to shake the deep down dirt to the top, not suck it up. |
