This is a Eureka Precision. My guess is that it is a high-end commercial vacuum from the early nineties, but i may be wrong. I've opened it up and it looks a lot like an older ESP. You can actually tell it is a lot like an ESP from the bottom. Here it is...

The Eureka Precision is from about 1986-1988.

These machines were made in the 80's and were made to compete with the Hoover Concept One. These had 3 different models a non self propelled white model, this model and also a red model that had a speed selector switch.

This is NOT a commercial machine....

As stated above, this was part of Eureka's top of the line machines. Yours is one step down from the top, being self Propelled, but only one speed. I have the rare TOP of the Line with the variable "Electronic" Speed control. I will post pictures of that. Mine is ironically dated 11/88 witch is the same month and year as my Birthdate. I have always said we must have passed each other on the assembly line...lol..

 

I am also going to include a catalog page from '89 showing your model and its retail price!

Broken things on it

The cord winder does not work and the belt is broken and it uses F bags.

Eureka Precision

Good information above.There was also a blue Sanitaire version of this.All are somewhat rare as most customers did not buy the most deluxe.
This was a time of many other great vacs from Eureka including Mighty Mite,QuickUp,Express,Rally,new power nozzle and more.

Jae, that's the one you got from me. I wish I hadn't of let you talk me out of it. I know because it still has the Bewley sweeper service sticker on it.

Ummm...I didn't talk you out of it, you told me AND Phill it was for sale. If you didn't want to sell it, you shouldn't have.

 

@CrazyKirbyDude, Gee thank you for your admiration, and gratitude for me taking the time to help you with information, and provide pictures of something rarely seen, as well as giving at least a thank you to the others for their input too!

Look At This...

Apparently there was a Frigidaire branded model. Take a look.

Wow I wish we had gotten this model here, It looks trully awesome. By 1986 our Top of the line Electrolux vacuums were hard bagged, with incorperated tools on board clean air uprights.

There's Another Version

This one seems more similar to something like a Eureka Bravo. Later model, perhaps?

On that Bravo

opelgtkarl's profile picture
That's not one the precisions that we're talking about here. That's a Bravo Precision. I'm not sure on what makes it a Precision Bravo, but it could've been a more expensive model. I'm pretty sure something like that though belongs in the Contemporary Forum here

Eureka often re-used old model names on vacs that were completely different than the originals. I guess once they owned the trademark, they recycled the name well after they stopped production on the original vac. A prime example is the trademark name "Roto-Matic": it started out as a swivel top barrel vac in the 1950's, and then was recycled as the name for their new power nozzle in the 1970's.

This Precision Bravo bares almost no resemblance to the original Precision Self- Propelled upright of the mid 1980's.
