You know a Eureka product is forgotten when there's no videos of it to be found online or when a pic of it cannot be found. And it's not just their carpet extractors. | ||

I know there's no videos of this one online anywhere, it was in my humble opinion Eureka's best upright ever sold.

Maybe not the age bracket you want, but
Eureka Standard #2 and model D(Deluxe). The D is the predecessor to the model K.

Good luck finding this parts bin special. Model 7773. Earliest correspondence I can find dates it to 2005. Every single part on it has a date wheel from a different year. It seems to be built with random parts from The Boss Smartvac and the original Powerline.

The most elusive Victory vac. 
And definitely one of the cooler looking ones. The Eureka THE BOSS 4672ATV Enviro Vac. Love how the translucent craze was big in the early 2000s. Hoover being one of the BIGGEST culprits of it LOL.

I'm after the bagless version of that Victory called the Whirlwind Big Cup. I found this years ago at my local thrift store. I don't know why I passed on it but I should've gotten it anyways because it was a childhood vacuum.

Several Bravo II variants
Two prominent ones being the Ultra Boss and Mega Boss uprights. Which would later go undernames such as the Power line like Huskyvacs showed above. And there is also a Eureka Boss Power Plus with a dirt alert feature that ivr only see ONE photo of. And even then the photo of it isn't too great.

Whoops, looks like you posted first before I did lol. But no that's not the one. The one he had was from the original Bravo line. It looked just like this but it was black and I think it was just called the Powerline.

Interesting
That Powerline Plus looks different than the other one, it has a hose built into the machine.
Anyways here's a red version without the headlight, I remember his had a hose that looked just like this.

In case you're interested
He did had that same ESP Self-Propelled pictured in his collection post. If I had lived nearby to him when he was selling his collection, I would've snatched that Eureka up in a heart beat!

Some of these came from FB vac group pages but here's a gathering. Unfortunately, I'm missing the Express canister. The Express was a great machine with VG3 RugMaster nozzle.

Thanks for posting these pics Rob! The Eureka World Vac was a great cleaner, and top rated by Consumer Reports in the early 1990’s. Two things I did not like: those big plastic wheels accumulated a lot of wall paint as they scraped along baseboards and other furnishings…and there was no rubber bumper anywhere on the canister. Even the World Vac powerhead had no rubber bumper like earlier Eureka power heads.

Ben, I know that model, a collector brought one to the Missouri convention last year Canned hams are good machines. I've always wanted to try the Brandywine Canned Ham 1289 but have never come across one.
EurekaPrince, yes I agree. I am surprised that Eureka never really had a furniture guard on those. Granted Hoover Power heads at the time were similar, all plastic around the edge. The Hoover suction units though did have a thick rubber bumper guard, or at least the S series body styles did. I remember that March 1996 of Consumer Reports was a big vacuum ratings article. They rated the Eureka WorldVac 6865 canister as Excellent for Carpet cleaning. Due to that article, my parents decided to get one for my aunt and uncle as a gift. They also rated a Powerline upright very highly so we bought one of those for our home. It only lasted 16 months though so it got replaced by a Hoover TurboPower 5000 canister. Consumer Reports rated the Hoover PowerMax and Hoover Futura canisters at Very Good for carpet cleaning. I ended up taking one of our PowerMax's to my aunts a few times to clean as I liked it better than their WorldVac canister which was rated better cleaning by CR. The WorldVac was still good, I think I was just more used to ours. Plus, I know how ours was maintained. I never popped open the power head on my aunt's unit to see how they were treating the belt, etc. I'd definitely be down to try another system. I do have a WorldVac power nozzle in my collection that gets run on occasion but no Eureka suction units of that era. It would be really cool to come across a Europa model. | ||

Because I did not like the basic hose handle set-up on the red World Vac that I bought, I upgraded to the fancier quick disconnect gas pump handle, which was much more comfortable to use. With this Eureka “Express-style” gas pump handle, the headlight stayed on for bare floor cleaning when you shut off the brush roll! The set-up had a three-prong wire which allowed for this.

The Aero was a nice looking suction unit. Not quite as common as some others. The last of the Aero suction unit body style was the Powerline canister. They were power nozzle canisters on the market at same time as WorldVac. A more economy line with cord wrap storage. There was a white and gorgeous blue/ green.
Attached is a catalog page from 1996 JcPenney. Bottom right is the PowerLine entry level PowerLine canister. Middle right is high end WorldVac canister with covered tool storage. Top right was one of Eureka's TOL canisters of the time and Excalibur canister. Left side of that page are two of my favorites. The top left is a mid range Futura canister and bottom left is PowerMax S3603-040.. They are both terrific machines! I also found a YouTube video for the PowerLine with Aero body style.

Wow! Thanks for that post Durango!!!
So, I guess when the Aero was rebranded as a Powerline canister, it was no longer exclusively sold at Sears. I think the Sears’ Aero models also had deluxe versions with the Express power nozzle in the early 1990’s. I may be mistaken though. For our European friends, that Excaliber Power Team is comprised of a Swedish-made Volta canister married to an American-made Eureka World Vac power nozzle. Top-rated in Consumer Reports in the mid 1990’s. Not a fan of the very small tools stoted under the hood. | ||
