My love of vacuum cleaners is a result of this: I am a highly sensitive person who grew up in a very nervous, anxious and chaotic family environment. Our vacuum cleaner seemed to me to be a magical machine that removed the chaos and brought some peaceful order to the carpets and floors I played on.
Though I first was extremely afraid of our Eureka Automatic 260 upright, somehow that fear turned into fascination in a few short years. If you look at my avatar, you can how these Eurekas looked like a grumbly, mean face: the headlight looked like angry eyes, the tool port cover looked like a nose and the front edge looked like a mouth with an upper lip (the bumper). Pretty scary for a 3 year old toddler! |

The motor is not the most powerful, but it gets EVERYTHING and ANYTHING that's in the rug, thanks to the lovely twin-clean nozzle! It's ultra-quiet, too! To my knowledge, bags are still easily found. I have a couple 1960s bags for it, but those are in the secret stash! Tom might have his vacuum museum,but I have my personal vacuum bag museum!! I just put a fresh DVC bag in the vacuum the other day,I was shocked at the amount of dog fur that was in the bag! I always underestimate that nozzle! It came with it's original tools.I usually don't use them, but they're cool tools for 1963, especially the Drapery Tool! |
