It's likely like this:
That bottom portion appears to come apart in 2, with the latch on the front. the motor is on the base, with the suction on one end, exhaust on the bottom (Hence, "Easy Glide"?). No wheels, "Glides" on carpet. the upper portion is nothing more than a cord rewind. the rest of the bottom shell's space is devoted to the bag (And, of course, the brush-roll).
I'm fairly sure that's how this cleaner functions. |

Do any of you guys own one of these. I'd love to see it in action as once again it's a vacuum that wasn't available over here in the UK ( I might be wrong but 99.999% sure it wasn't over here ) |

The Eureka Emperor was not a bag-first vac as previously mentioned. It was actually a fan first upright very similar in configuration to the later Eureka Ultra - with the airflow blowing into the bag using a duct or flexible hose of some sort.
Here's a great description from an old department store ad: CLICK HERE TO GO TO eurekaprince's LINK |
