I have that one in red. One thing I've found with it I don't like is that dust escapes into the canister from poor fitting seal around the bag and holder.. Have you noticed that on yours? | ||

I think that is a common problem with most Eureka's. If they would have come up with a better bag connection their motors would have lasted a lot longer. Fine dust would always seep through causing bearing problems. All the Eureka's in my collection (canisters) suffer that same problem. I also think if they would have all used the Filtrete bag that they now offer, it would have made a huge difference. It would be nice to see Eureka bring back the Ironside cleaner wtih the older style tools, using horse hair brush inserts and the three peice wand (2 straight and 1 curved). They were great cleaners. If they were to add a little foam inside the motor chamber to quiet the machine, improve the bag and perhaps add a Hepa filter they would a great vacuum. Just my opinion! Morgan | ||

I think that's an excellent idea. If Hoover can revive the Constellation with a better bag and filtration system, while keeping the steel construction, I don't see why Eureka couldn't do that too with the Ironsides. | ||

Speaking of comebacks.... Koblenz had two models of vacuums a few years ago in the Princess and Ironsides metal bodies. Koblenz must have obtained the molds ( or is it casts ) from Eureka! | ||
