I don’t know much about this model. But I love the color. Don’t think it was used much.

I remember that a Eureka Williams design document called that colour “Lagoon Blue.” The Eureka Super Automatic 260 we had in the early 1960’s was in that same colour. The blue was used across the Eureka line-up at the time, for everything from uprights and canisters to stick vacs and floor polishers.

Supposedly those nozzles were onlhy good at making noise, they did not clean anything but at the time it was Eureka's answer to a power nozzle. I'm also wondering if it used a Lamb motor. If you really want to improve its cleaning ability on carpets, get the Volt power nozzle, that would be an awesome combination. Mike |
