![]() Not a bad vacuum! Pretty simple. I have I think the same one or similar model but in blue. I think these might have been the very low end models. Vacuums take on the odors of where they were stored, and the smell usually will latch onto the bag material, the cord rubber, or the motor windings - I guess they are porous to odors. If someone had it stored in a garage or a machine shop or who knows where with gasoline next to it maybe it sucked that smell into it. I have a Rainbow vac that smells so badly of racing fuel I had to keep it in my garage until it is restored. It gave me a headache. I looked up the seller's address and it was a professional go-kart racing garage. Makes me wonder what in the world they used a Rainbow for in there. People do weird things with vacuums. |

You never know what, where or when it's been through. |

I'd say 15 feet but it could possibly be 20. |

Thanks for posting that ad, Paul My mom had that Eureka ESP in the basement and sometime in the 2000's early, the motor blew up in a blue fireball and smoke, terrified me for several years of vacuums. We replaced it with a pumpkin orange JC Penney vac from the thrift store after it blew up and used that until that one died as well. Been on the hunt for both of those ever since.

I will measure tomorrow if you'd like. I'm just tired a little. |
