The History of Eureka Vacuum Cleaners

!±8± The History of Eureka Vacuum Cleaners

The history of Eureka vacuum cleaners begins in Detroit, Michigan in 1909 with a man named Fred Wardell. Within three years, the Eureka Vacuum Cleaner Company was selling six models of vacuum cleaners that also came with attachments specialized for different cleaning jobs. Because Eureka's vacuum cleaners were lighter and better designed than their competitors and had such innovative attachments including a hair dryer, Eureka was awarded the grand prize at the San Francisco International Exposition in 1915. Within five years, the Eureka Company was able to produce about 2,000 vacuum cleaners per day from their 3.5 acre Detroit factory. A decade later in 1930, Eureka began manufacturing electric ranges.

By 1942, Eureka halted the production of vacuum cleaners at the Detroit factory in order to produce gas masks and other items to support the war efforts during World War II. Following the war, Eureka merged with Williams Oil-O-Matic, a company known for its heating business, forming the Eureka-Williams Company. By the end of the 1940's Eureka-Williams would be known for a contraption called a "Wooden Lung" that was used in the treatment of people with polio and for children stricken with infantile paralysis. A decade later, in 1957, Eureka-Williams returned to its roots and began to focus on vacuum cleaners and floor care products again.

Over time, Eureka-Williams extended its reach to include the production of school furniture, the introduction of the Henney Kilowatt (a battery-operated car), and even a thermal battery for NASA. In 1974, Eureka-Williams was purchased by AB Electrolux, a Swedish company, and the name was changed to The Eureka Company. For the next twenty years, The Eureka Company expanded its operations to manufacturing plants in Mexico, Texas and Illinois.

In the early 2000's The Eureka Company began to offer Eletrolux vacuum cleaners and in 2004, the company officially changed its name to Electrolux Home Care Products North America. In 2009, Eureka celebrated 100 years of history and brand innovation. Today, Eureka is considered a part of the home products division of Electrolux and continues to focus on vacuum cleaners and other cleaning products including three other brands: Electrolux, Electrolux Central Vacuum Systems and Sanitaire.

There is a full array of cleaning products under the Eureka brand alone, including not only uprights and canisters, but home built in systems and steam cleaners, to list just a few. Eureka has also paired up with Arm & Hammer to produce a new generation of vacuum cleaner products and has joined Filtrete to round out the line of consumer goods available in the marketplace.

In addition to the ongoing development of new designs and innovative products, Eureka also continues to manufacture replacement parts for almost all makes and models of vacuums. Always at the forefront of innovation, Eureka vacuums continue to impress the market with its ability to lead in quality and value yet meet and surpass environmental standards with its products. As the excitement continues to grow over

The Eureka 3670G Mighty Mite canister vacuum is a sleek new compact canister that makes bare floor cleaning easy. This lightweight canister vacuum weighs less than 9 pounds and gives its customers value for money. While it does well on carpets or rugs, it is ideal for vacuuming bare floors, wood floors and tiles. This small canister vacuum is extremely easy to carry and is appreciated for its maneuverability. The 20 foot power cord with quick release allows you to take it with you wherever you go. Storage is never a problem because of its compact size.

Lightweight & Mighty

The Mighty Mite canister vacuum is equipped with powerful brush rolls to deep clean carpets and a full set of tools are provided for specialty cleaning such as stairs and upholstery. This canister vacuum can pick up dust and pet hair easily. It has also made cleaning the insides of a car more convenient as it sucks up dirt and other small particles from under the seats as well as the sides.

Ideal for vacuuming quickly and efficiently

Equipped with a 12 amp motor, this canister vacuum not only creates powerful suction but also makes cleaning quick and efficient. The onboard tools such as the crevice tool, upholstery nozzle/dusting brush and carpet/bare floor nozzle provide easier access to even the hard to reach areas. 2 extension wands also help clean the drapes and pull out cob webs from the ceilings. This bagged canister vacuum includes a triple filtration bag system. The vacuum comes with a limited 1 year warranty.

Getting the Best Results

• Connect the hose to the front of the canister and attach the wands to the hose handle. Extend the telescopic wand by pushing lock button down and pulling on the wand until reaching desired height.

• Adjust to maximum suction by closing the slip ring on the hose handle. Attach combination tool, crevice tool and turbo nozzle to the end of the hose. If additional reach is needed, place the wand on the hose handle first.

• To use the blower port, detach hose from the front side of the canister and attach it to the blower port on the back side of the canister.

• The dust bag and motor filter play a very important role in the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner. If the bag or the motor filter becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place no matter how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, change the dust bag frequently and clean the filter as needed.

• Some fine particles can restrict the airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust or similar fine substances, the bag and filter may need to be changed more often.
