- Hey there everyone! And happy Labor Day weekend! I hope you’re all enjoying the long weekend before the fall starts up! Well, today, I thought I’d start my new series of videos for the month of September that I’m calling “Set-Tember” in which I will be sharing with you all some of my completed sets of vacuums. And to start it all off, I decided to do a video that I’ve been wanting to do for years actually. So, without further ado, I present the legendary 1978 Eureka Wild Moss Continental Hooded uprights with a few of the other machines that were offered at the same time in the same color! I hope you all enjoy the video and please like, comment, and subscribe!
What a beautiful collection

@@mitchellarmstrong3759 thanks man! And thank you for watching!
love the wild moss series such a beautiful lineup
@@60l7ISirens thank you so much! And thank you for watching!
Thanks for this great Eureka video Karl! Just two comments: the three way switch on the deluxe Cordaway upright offered the following settings: Power Touch Low, Power Touch High, and Constant High for Attachments (ATT). The third setting allowed you to do hose vacuuming without having to squeeze the handle. The second comment: if you tilt back the head on a Rugulator upright, the slider is much more easy to slide.
@@briant5378 oh right! Yes! I always get a little confused with the Power Touch. Thank you for sharing! And thanks again for watching!
Love thoses. Especially the Box top & wide track one
@@YoumuHoover thank you so much! And thank you so much for watching!
Awesome theme, machines, and shirt! "Ore-O-Nap" - love it! Some of the uprights debuted in 1978, but I always thought the Continentals debuted in 1976 followed by the first Wide Tracks in 1977. I hope one day you are able to find a Model 2088 (Dial-A-Nap version of the 2049 and featured on the catalog page you showed), the extremely rare first Eureka Wide Track Model 4070 with the 3.5-amp motor and Rugulator that was only made in 1977; succeeded by the Model 4050 with the 6.0-amp ESP motor sometime in the fall of that year (on the same catalog page), and the Kmart Model 674 (on another catalog page). Regarding the Cordaway cord, I'd been told that it was a couple feet shorter than a manual wrap cord due to the capacity of the Cordaway case. Anyway, I enjoyed another of your informative and interesting vids - thanks!
@@paco3343 oh awesome! Thank you for sharing! And thank you so much for watching!
Another comment about these beautiful Continental Eurekas: The headlight was designed to also light up the name EUREKA on the top of the hood!!!!
@@briant5378 ah yes! One of the coolest features of the set! Thank you for sharing and thank you so much for watching!
I did enjoyed the video there used to be a famous vacuum by Eureka from the first Hocus Pocus movie wondering about the model it was
@@markrich7693 I believe that was one of the lower end blender motor uprights. The one K-Mart machine I have is the most similar to it. Thank you so much for watching!
8 green vacuums 7 uprights and 1 canister
@@user-ci1rw8en5h yes indeed! Thanks for watching!
I suspect that the brush rollers that Riccar vacuums use today are made by the same manufacturer that produced the VibraGroomer brush rollers for Eureka during the 1970s throughout the early 1990s. That’s why I preferred Eureka over Hoover with the exception of a few models like the Concept One. However I grew up with an Electrolux canister and a Kirby in my paren’s house. It wasn’t until I worked I restaurants that I knew what other vacuums were like and I really noticed a difference between the Eureka and the Hoover and knew which I was going to buy when I rented my first apartment. It was Eureka all the way for years. Now I have a Miele straight suction canister on each floor, a Sebo G4 upright downstairs and a Riccar R25 Pet upstairs for specific reasons.
I really like the eureka wide track I actually have the Sanitaire version on my channel it has the same 6 amp motor on it only difference is plastic base and single speed metal foot switch.
@@thomaswilkins8168 oh way cool! Those widetrack models were so cool and funky! Thank you for sharing! And thanks again for watching!
Great video! I have one of those. It’s model 674 D. I’m not using it. You are welcome to it if you’re interested.
@@electrolux101 oh wow! That sounds awesome! I’d love that! Could you reach out to me on Facebook and we could discuss more there?
