I had a few requests to post more detailed pictures of the rarest (or one of the rarest) vacuum cleaners in my collection, the 1989 Eureka Freedom. I don't know much about these, besides the fact that they didn't sell for long. I rescued this out of a vac-shop basement for $5. Sadly, It didn't have the battery or charger, so I don't have any idea whether or not it runs. It is in excellent shape though. it is very small, and the dirt passage set up is almost identical to an F & G upright. The vacuum has one filter- being the one-layer paper bag. The bag housing door comes on and off by a small button. It has a High and Low speed setting. It has a very small motor, very odd looking light bulbs and what appears to be a smaller version of a eureka F & G vacuum belt. No attachments were available for this machine. If anybody knows about this model's history, it would be appreciated!

Whoa, that's even cooler than I thought it would be! For some reason I always imaged it to have a bypass-motor, but the direct-air setup is awesome for a cordless vacuum! That plus the chevron brushroll must have made it a pretty decent vacuum in general for it's time. I hope you can find a battery one day. I'm sure it would be heavy though. |
