those were the most amazing canisters. I love them and with that power head it was the best for cleaning. The first vacuum I ever saw and fell in love with was my mom's Eureka just like that but it was in a mustard color and had a wood label powerhead without headlight. I rode on top of it when she vacuumed and at that time she vacuumed three times a day seven days a week. I remember humming with the sound of the motor in that vacuum. It lasted her from 1978 to 1989. I will never forget the day it died. I was four years old in 89 and I was using the hose to clean some of the edges for my Mom and the vacuum just got really loud and then bZZZZT nothing. She loved it so much and was so upset when it died that right then Mom Dad and I piled into the 1972 lime green Impala and went to the department store where she picked out a new Navy blue Eureka Power Team with the deluxe powerhead with a headlight. It think it was about $300.00. Her and I used the hell out of that thing. You see I come from a line of vacuumers, both of my parents liked to vacuum. Anyhow she still has that vacuum to this day. I won't let her use it right now because I want to rebuild the whole thing for her. So she is using the Filter Queen Majestic that my Dad bought new in 1997 for $2000.00. She like it too but not as well.

WOW, how cool,,,ive never seen one of these in Blue before. Those hoses with the hand grip are really nice,,,and rare these days. Congrats on getting it! Im kicking myself for giving away one of these to a friend a few years ago why did i do that!? GRRRRRR It was exactly the same as this model,only in orange,(and the Tool Pac and attachments were an ivory color, it also had the seperate steel button lock wands for the floor brush),,bought new by an Aunt and Uncle in 1975,,,they also kept it in perfect condition, other than they had hung the hose on a hook, which left a permanent bend in it,,,but i do remember this vacuum having tremendous power,,even the Cordaway spring was so strong and tight,,it whipped the cord back in so fast you had to stay clear of it, or you'd get hurt! With a hepa type bag and filter,Vibra Groomer brushroll and new belt,,,i would think even today, this vacuum would be a top performer. Thanks for sharing the pic! | ||

That is a great find, grandma used to have one like it except in a dark chesnut brown with the power head in the same color. It died about 2 years ago. | ||

inspected by =) No it has the metal brush roll with the inspection sticker still on it. She is a bute I love it so quiet and comfortable to use. I was so torn between this and the kenmore duo power but I love blue and I have wanted one of these forever.

Storage I store all my pns with the hose as relaxed and natural as possible and as well by keeping them well oiled with a plastic protectant. I do not store upright. | ||

Eureka Matthew: I have a similar PowerTeam in forest green. It has the tool caddy on top and is covered by a smoke-colored dust cover. I love this vacuum! Michael | ||

What a beautiful Eureka! Love the ultra-soft deluxe horse-hair dusting brush. You can still get this brush (in black) through Electrolux of North America.
The first version of this (1973, in burnt orange) was one of the top-rated power-nozzle canister vacs in Consumer Reports testing in 1974. It actually deep cleans carpets with excellence..... *drools* :-) | ||
