I Found One Just Like That At A Thrift Shop!!!
They wanted $20, I paid $12 lol. It also came with a full set of attachments! The Vibra-Groomer II does work well, but I think you'll find that if you swap that one out for the Vibra-Groomer I (the Top-Of-The-Line) Eureka/Sanitaire brushroll with the stuff bristles & full beaterbar, that you'll be even more impressed with it. Its also a helix-shape allowing for more airflow.
My family was always a Hoover family too. We had some metal-based convertibles, plastic-based convertibles, Dial-A-Matics, Concepts, Commercial model's, Elites, etc. They were always great. | ||

As the Eureka Williams slogan used to say: "EUREKA - The very best in vacuum cleaners."
These 1900 Series uprights were so simple - lightweight, effective and easy to maintain. One of the key secrets to their deep cleaning ability: the top-fill F&G dust bag. Until Hoover caved in and finally introduced their Click and Clean top fill dust bag in the late 1970's, Eureka uprights often outperformed its Hoover competitors like the Convertible. Above-the-floor cleaning with these Eurekas (using a pan converter set-up) is pretty wimpy - the suction is not that strong. But for light dusting of furniture and bare floors, they were adequate. Eureka's classic upholstery nozzle always did a great job on fabrics, drapes and car interiors - even with low suction. Just goes to show you: you don't need a high powered motor to deep clean carpets with a classic "fan-first" upright. LED light? Cool!!! :-) | ||

Eurekaprince I'm gonna upfit this vac with the sanitaire ST fill tube so I can use the ST synthetic bags. Just wondering, when using f&g bags as the bag clogs over time and tightens, does it constrict the paper fill tube? Just wondering if that happens of has ever happened. | ||

In all the years I've replaced full F&G bags, I have never encountered a situation where the paper fill tube constricts to the point of blocking the movement of air and dirt. When you release the handle from it's upright "stored" position, the heavy filled bottom of the F&G dust bag actually pulls the bag downward and away from the paper fill tube which is closer to the handle. Eureka's outer bags, especially their deluxe "box top" bags, provided plenty of space for the inner dust bag to expand. But...it's important not to let the dirt fill above the dotted line printed on the bag - this ensures that there is enough room at the top of the bag to let the air filter out the top. You can certainly pack dirt about a foot high at the bottom of the bag before changing it.
