When you think of vacuum cleaners one of the first names that will come to mind is the Eureka upright Vacuum cleaner. Founded short on the heels of their biggest competitor the Hoover Company, Eureka got off to a fast start by having 6 models for sale just 4 years after their company was founded. Each of the vacuums had their own special attachments and was similar to the models we use today.
The eureka upright vacuum sold at the level of 2,000 vacuums a day by the time the company had been in business for 10 years, and their success won them a number of awards over the years. At the start of World War II Eureka put their highly successful vacuum cleaner business on hold and started producing gas masks and other products to support the war effort, in time they also developed the wooden lung for polio victims before going back to making vacuums.
Today Eureka only specializes in vacuums and they are the only company in the world to claim that distinction. Highly regarded in the industry and by consumers Eureka makes one of the best vacuum cleaners in the world. Now sold in 45 countries the Eureka upright vacuum has come a long way. One of Eureka’s claims to fame is in the production of lightweight vacuums, their vacuums range from an amazing 3.6 pounds to 11.8 pounds for their deluxe model.
They also offer a cordless rechargeable vacuum that weighs in at 5 pound making it ideal for small areas such as an apartment or a motorhome. The Eureka upright vacuum cleaner models that are the light do not provide the best suction of all their models but their purpose is convenience for those that need a cordless or extra light vacuum.
If power is what you need there is still a light weight Eureka upright vacuum just for you, the 437AZ is poised to compete with the Dyson Vacuum. Lighter than the Dyson the Eureka vacuum has slightly less power that the Dyson but makes up for it with their innovative Power Paw with Risor Visor, a unique hand held tool that has a power brush roll that Eureka claims can suck up more dust and other dirt than any other Vacuum on the market.
Many of the Eureka upright vacuum cleaner models are equipped with HEPA filters to prevent the dust from being blown back into the air in your home. Eureka has come a long way in the last 100 hundred years and still is the vacuum of choice for millions of people worldwide.
