The bottom tag is a clue...RW Home Products was Arnie Wasserman...he distributed to vac shops. More recently he and his brother Bob were sales reps for ESSCO.

It appears that RW contracted with Eureka to produce this private label machine. Just another option for a vac shop to carry without having to price match a big box store that would carry a nearly identical machine under the Eureka brand.

Mighty Lite

As above these were offered to vac stores with small canister for customers who had seen lightweight Oreck and Buster B.

When you flip this machine over it looks like it's only been used once! Nice piece of history for the collection. Interesting.

Good info. I had one of these myself. I’m not sure how rare they are. There was one on eBay for a long time.

Bob also left Essco and started his own firm called, RW Sales Group. They are distributors of the new Air-Way uprights.

Thanks for all the replies! Someone else purchased it, but I'm glad to have the info for future reference.

I'd never heard of the Wassermans, so that was especially interesting.
