Thanks for highlighting this Eureka for sale, Paul! It’s almost worth buying just to get that vintage Eureka carton!
This particular model raises an interesting question: if a cleaner’s attachments are stored inside the canister’s dust bag compartment, don’t they eventually get dirty and dusty? Eureka was not the only vacmaker to do this: Hoover and Sunbeam also offered models which stored some attachments inside the dust bag compartment. I can’t imagine wanting to vacuum a light coloured sofa with a dusty upholstery nozzle. | ||

It was an interesting design attempt, but the concept never lasted. The other problem I thought of is the potential damage to the motor if a dirty floor brush or dusting brush was put away inside. I can imagine the powerful suction in such close proximity to the dirty bristles would eventually pull away the dirt and catch it on the round motor filter…thus reducing suction in general.
The red tray was not meant to ride on top of the canister - there were no hooks or clips designed to secure it to the top of cleaner. The seller may have been trying to entice a buyer by doing that, but it would never stay on in normal use. The only other cleaners I know of that stored the tools inside the dust bag compartment was the Sunbeam Courier (vertical suitcase) cleaner and the Hoover Slimline. It was a rare design concept that never lasted - probably due to the reasons mentioned here. | ||
