This is just the bee's knees! Colors and accessories, and no bids yet, somebody want to give it a go?

Oreck: possibly the only company to copy a design and make it worse. :P |

What a neat little vacuum. Took your advice and made a bid. We had one of these in the 60's/70's for use with the large commercial vac and it was great. But, I don't remember something coming out of the rear as I see in the picture. Do you know what this could be? Roger |

Hi Chad, here is a picture of what's known as the Whisk. I don't doubt that Eureka made the MVs 1 and 2, that is an interesting piece of info. I definitely know the Oreck bag won't fit just by the visual comparison of the two. And it is a given that you have had much more exposure and repair experience than I have to various vacs, and the input is appreciated. Also, didn't these (MV1&2) come out under the Premier name also?

Yes, and thanks again. I know according to my owners booklet I can use the cloth filter bag, or the disposable, but of course never with both, or never without both. I'd love to get the Premier and the Eureka models. The Orecks are quite common, three for me in less than three months! Would it be possible at your convenience to post some shots of the Premiers? I've seen a Premier canister or two, and was rather put off at the time, not knowing the story behind them. Also, the Whirlwind, the Premier clone-I want one anyhow, they're sort of ghetto.

Here's a 2006 thread on the MV-2, with all kinds of extra information, the Eureka Whisk, the Premier, and the Oreck. I knew I saw something about this before.

General Electric made the MV1 and MV2. When GE sold to Premier (Whirlwind), they also private labeled the machine for Eureka. The word "Whisk" was used on two Eureka models, the one they made (that uses the R bag) and the one private labeled by Premier (uses Eureka W bags).
Eureka did NOT make the machine. |
