The Grey Vacuum is a Eureka Commercial Vacuum from 1974. It sounds a little like a Sanitaire. I'm debating on if I should sell the Grey Hoover, since it has some problems. I am thinking of replacing it with a Royal Upright. | ||

I love it!;)
If im not mistaken, it's pretty rare to find a commercial Eureka from that era, it's basically the same exact thing as a Sanitaire. I think most if not all the early ones have the grey hood. Royal uprights are pretty decent, the light blue 880 is a popular one. I had a commercial Royal all metal upright from the late '80s with an 18 inch brushroll. It was called the "Duke Series" and it had a red bag. I ended up selling it a while ago, but it was a pretty decent vacuum!

Those would be very nice additions to your collection! I also used to have an all metal Royal hand bag with a blue bag & trim, it was really nice. Im not sure whatever happened to that one either, it just disappeared one day lol. You idea about changing the bags out is a good one too, I've definitely taken 2 vacs that were unquestionable and made one good one. I hopefully will have a post up about one I've been working on/ finding parts for for a while.

Well, I'm not going to sell any of my hand vacuums, except the red dirt devil. The metal ones, I am keeping as museum showcase models. | ||

I want a black plastic dirt devil, the 500 model. However, I want to find it brand new never used. | ||
