Yes,the bearings do go so easily on these. The dust cup system is not the best and a lot of dirt leaks into the motor. On hardfloor the stiff bristles do put out quite a racket which has to be noisier then a clutchless dyson. | ||

Eureka Whirlwind 
These were quite popular here in the USA. I saw them much more often than the Hoover Windtunnel bagless models. It is my understanding these cleaned well, but from personal experience I know the filtration was really terrible. I had to repair one of these once, and every single filter was caked with thick dust, including the post-motor HEPA filter. The Whirlwind Lightspeeds were much better. Those had a huge HEPA filter, plus a washable pleated pre-motor filter.
No matter what you think of the vacuum, opening NIB machines is always fun. I hope you enjoy it.

Yes deffintaley get one, they where quite a competitor to Dyson! It's amazing how they stretched the dual cyclones from a Dyson across into a sneaky design. Does anyone else have the history of these machines? | ||

Nice
Nice find:o)I like finding NIB vacuum cleaners. I got hold of a new in box Electrolux Widetrack in black a few years ago. But I never opened it. It was bout early 1997 from Alders. Who ever bought it bout two of them as it say 2 of 2 on the invoice which was stuck to the box.
I'm sure you will enjoy your new find and look after it. Good job you found it. Imagine if a regular person got it first.It's important to keep some machines in great condition for future generations:o) James:o) | ||

The origins of this vac lie in the debut of a sleek bagged upright by Eureka in the 1990's. It was called the Eureka Victory and I think it was Eureka's second clean-air, bag first bypass upright after the Excalibur. This Victory featured a "Back-Saver" handle which was bent in a certain way to allow you to get under furniture without too much stooping. It had the same on-board hose as this Electrolux which allowed you to grab it at any time for above the floor cleaning, similar to Panasonic's "Quick Draw" hose.
It only rated a mediocre "good" for carpet cleaning in Consumer Reports testing, and I was never a fan of the cheap combination dusting brush/upholstery nozzle which stored on the back of the handle. At some point, Eureka adapted the design to create a bagless version featuring the dust container shown on this Electrolux. They branded this "The Whirlwind." That's a bit of the history of this vac! | ||

dysondestijl I have an Electrolux Cyclone Power Plus if you want to but it. Needs some attachments but it works & you said you wanted one. It's got a bigger bin than this one but look in the pic & see what you think.
