Which of the four Eureka brush rolls from the '70s-early '90s do you think is the best performer on average?
Disturbulator, single-row Vibra-Groomer I, double-row Vibra-Groomer II, double-row Vibra-Groomer III, double-row All of the top-dollar Sanitaire uprights (from the 1986 Sanitaire brochure I've uploaded recently) use the VG-I brush roll rather than the VG-II. But, would I think that many of the Roto-Matic Power Team nozzles that Eureka had made for its high-end competition like Fairfax, Rexair (Rainbow) and Interstate Engineering (TriStar and Compact) used the Disturbulator single-row brush roll only and not the VG-I brush roll? Furthermore, I would assume all of these non-Eureka-branded RMPT nozzles to have ended production after 1980-84. ~Ben |

I now see the 70s date, read that one too fast!! The VG1 in those years...but the old Disturbulator will beat it I think! |

Am I right in assuming the Disturbulator was Eureka's way of emulating Hoover's very popular beater-bar without patent infringement? |
