Love these Eureka "Empress II" Power Teams!
I don't know what it is about the industrial designers at Eureka - they produced some of the coolest looking designs and graphics. Very sleek, modern, understated and "solid" looking. They really stand out as so different in style from most of the other machines on the market in the 1970's. Too bad they leaked dust so much and were not the best performers. Mind you, the first Eureka vacs with the Roto-Matic power nozzle were top-rated by Consumer Reports in the early 1970's - the basic red Princess with basic RM power-nozzle was even top-rated as a Best Buy.

Chad, thank you so much for posting this,,,i always thought these machines were very cool. An Aunt of mine bought an Orange Eureka Rotomatic in 1975, that had the suction dial, and bag indicator, and Tool pac on the top,, and i kind of remember a fake woodgrain? (not sure),i do remember using it often and remember it having tremendious power,,,and one time in the mid 80s opened it up to see what the problem was,,, the bag had burst,or there had been a leak,,,of course the compartment was totally full to the brim too,,,who knows how long she had used it that way. I know thats what killed off the machine early. Of course she was totally oblivious to her vacuum cleaner. She let me just take it then, and i did save the attachments, wands, and PN. Of course the hose was shot and breaking off at the attachment end,, and the motor was shot,,darn it. Sure Was an awsome machine in its prime. I remember the powernozzle would absolutely GRAB and hold tight to the floor on short nap carpet,,you had to reduce the suction or else you could not push or pull the PN at all,,even with a new belt. I also remember that PN was excellent on hi piled thick shag carpet,,,and groomed the carpet beautifully. Remember the REALLY HI piled thick shag that you had to RAKE!? HAHA,,Rake,Vacuum, and Rake again! Looked beautiful, until someone walked across it! | ||

Hi Chad. The 1980 Eureka Brandywine models are one of my favorites! I especially like the 2087 ESP upright and the 1458 upright! Could you post the upright section of the brochure? Thanks. Rob Gwisdala | ||
