I can't remember Eureka having a carpet cleaner back that far, but I'm sure they probably did make them then.
Sears had a Koblenz made carpet shampooer/floor polisher that probably dated back to the 70s at least and was made into the late 2000s at least. Some of the early Kenmore Powerspray units did have a built in water heater, but I don't think they made that version for very long. |

I have always wondered why the terms “steam cleaner” and “deep carpet cleaner״ were used to describe machines that in essence “wash” carpets. Many of the machines don’t heat the water in their tanks, and the term “deep carpet cleaner” could be used for any vacuum that has a revolving brush.
The term they use in the UK is “carpet washer”, which is so simple and reflects clearly what the machine does. And those “vacuum mop combos” that use water should simply be called “floor washers”. If it uses water, the cleaners should simply be called “carpet washers” and “floor washers” - just like we say “dishwashers”. Just my personal opinion… |
