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...

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. |

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

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

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. |
