Thanks for sharing. What i wouldn't give to have any one of those Eurekas. (I have always had a soft spot for them) If anyone knows where I can find one, or has one they want to part with, please let me know. |

Ohhhh wow.... That bissel with the powerbrush that looks like a canister vacuum; I've never even seen anything like that. I had the Bissel canister carpet shampooer (the one below that) back in the mid 90s and between me, my other clean freak friend, and my grandma, we used it until there was nothing left of it. We got our money's worth out of that.......It did hook to the sink though......But I feel like those canister shampooers do a better job than the upright shampooers. I don't know why.

I bought one for my parents in 1996 - but the colour was a very cool dark blue. It was so amazing for a simple, no tools, fan-first upright. Though noisy, the bag was huge!!!! And it was lightweight and easily maneouverable - like an Oreck or Hoover Platinum Lightweight, but cheaper! I got it at our Canadian Tire hardware store for about CAD120!
The only other thing I did not like about it (besides being loud), was the bumper seemed to end about midway down the side of the power-head and easily caught on baseboards....but other than that - this was a real winner from Eureka in my opinion! :-) |

Thanks for scanning these pages. So many memories lol. I had alot of those vacs. From the top down, Both Red Bravo's, A maroon BOL Victory,The Excallibur( a loner fromSears) Hoover Power-Drive in blue(Kenmore version,still have)and black with dirt finder(1997 version). So many Elite's, my neighbor has the whit one he bought in 1995 for $89.99 at the local harware store.
The green Futura, the World Vac and Powerline canister as loners from Sears when hving my Whispertone fixed, those Eureka PN's always cought the haie at the bearings causing thm to smell like burnt hair. The Hoover StemVac Deluxe for 239.99 I got at Sears for 125.00 on clearence May 1997,and it still works great minus one new motor in 1999. These vacs were expensive for back in the day, but some of these could be had on Sale at other stores, like Sears had the white Powerline can for as low as 139.99and red upright for 79.99, and the whit Elite for 89.99. Oh and wallyWorld had the Hoover Perferred for 129.00 and the soft&Light for 88.00. Funny how I see these and remember the different prices but I cant remember what I did with my keys an hour ago lol. Thanks again Bobby. |

Bobby - I had to hide my vacuum clippings too! I used to have an unmarked envelope at the bottom of one of my drawers in which I kept all the clippings of advertisements which I secretly kept. I use to have to go through the garbage to retrieve the newspapers and magazines after my family was finished reading them. I would then find the ads I had seen earlier in the week and secretly cut them out to add to my hidden collection.
Now I have a file in my filing cabinet! We really need to create an international "Vac Pride" day so we can have a parade too!!!! :-) |

Does anyone have any Spring/Summer 1984 and Spring/Summer 1987 JCP catalogs to share here (pages of vacuum cleaners)?
I recall in the '87 catalog there were two Eureka canisters with the Roto-Matic Power Team powerhead: there is one in dark red whose model # I forget, and then there is the green one which is model 1784. In that same catalog and on that same page, there were three other Eureka canisters: one is a cream-colored canister with black tools and aluminum wands, and there are two Mighty Mite portables (the blue one has aluminum wands and the TURBO-MATIC turbine nozzle). If anyone could identify those model #s for me, please comment. I would hint at Brandon D. or Garrett as owning at least one of these. ~Ben |

Oh... one more thing I need to mention, the 1984 JCP catalog, I believe, was the last in which JCP had put their name onto the vacuums they sold.
In that catalog (the pages are all B&W), I see versions of the Hoover Portapower (no markings on the nozzle) and, of course, the Eureka canisters (the JCPenney name is where the Eureka name would be on the nozzle). ~Ben |

Those old JCPenney's catalogs have that vintage charm to it. |

That looks more modern than the current Mighty Mite (probably better built too) :p |
