I would like photos and informnation on Eureka Rally Canisters. Even possible top-of-the line ones. Even brochure scans I will take. |

Loved the Eureka Rally!
The best feature of this canister vac was that the cord reel port was top-side - the cord came out of the top of the unit like many European vacs of the era. I always found that this made pulling out the cord so much easier, as well as controlling the cord on its way back in. In Canada, the Eaton's department store sold a suction-only black "The Boss" version of the Rally - with nice chrome wands and the newer Eureka carpet nozzle with attached neck. I wanted one sooooo badly! But I was kind of still in the "vacuum closet" at the time. If memory serves me correctly, the Rallys all came with the high end Express Power nozzle with VGIII- some with headlight, others without. |

What I meant to say was that "if the Rally was part of a Power Team, the power nozzle was usually an Express Power nozzle with VGIII." Later versions may have been sold with the newer World Vac Power Nozzle with brushed edge cleaning - can't remember for sure....
Like I said, Eaton's also offered a suction only version of it in Canada - not sure if this was an Eaton's exclusive..... Would be fun to see some scans of vac pages from Eaton's famous annual catalogues of the era! :-) |
