Vintage Eureka ESP Vacuum Self Propeled

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

I think the original motor was changed, right?

[locohog91]

@ClassicTVMan1981X no

ironicly eureka made the sanitair's at my work

[Astromchaser]

We recently got us a new Hoover Windtunnel T series Pet Paw filtation. Other then the suction, the thing is made of cheap piece of crap china-made plastic and it only has a small 12 amp motor. Our old Hoover has a big 19 amp motor. Our new windtunnel is so quiet compared to our Hoover from 1999 but then again the motor in the windtunnel is much smaller.

@Astromchaser i hate to break it to ya but theres no way that motor was 19 amps. it could be 19 hoover cleaning units,. but just an fyi. i have vacs that range from 2 amps to 7 amps. all of wich could woop a 12 amp vac

[Astromchaser]

@animebsd It's a Hoover Dimension II. It even says 19 amps.

[animebsd]

@Astromchaser cant you agree that if you where to draw 19 amps though one circut it would blow the breaker? i have a 460 volt air compressor that draws 19 amps the cord for it is about a inch thick. how can you be pulling 19 amps through a vacuum cord?

[seanypatpatterson]

@animebsd I think I know the possible solution to this. Your 460 volt air compressor draws 19 amps at 460 volts. Electricity is calculated Amps X Volts = Watts. So 19 Amps at 460 Volts is 8740 Watts. 19 amps at 120 volts is only 2280 Watts. It is fairly common for modern Hoovers to draw 2100, 2200 or more watts.

@seanypatpatterson yes thank you

[luvsthose8230s]

nice vac, but your monotone voice puts me to sleep.

[Astromchaser]

Great Vacuume. I have an 11 year old Hoover that's REALLY loud.

[MADDOG6400]

[willsmash7]

[fgbags]

could you tell me the model # of that machine. I grew up with one of those and would love to get another someday. I have a beige one posted but dissapointingly the decal on mine dousn't light up. Thats what I remember the most about my grandma's vac. If you ever wanna sell let me know!

[luvroxette95]

Very nice machine. Sounds just like my sanitaire.

[locohog91]

thanks, i love that sound. i used to have a sanitaire sounded the same too, same motor

[animebsd]

how many amps?

[sanitaire800]

@locohog91 are there any stores where i could get a hoover elite supreme or a eureka esp?

[locohog91]

blue

[locohog91]

i think so

[animebsd]

no they arnt the same

sometimes they are but now mostly not

they got the same fan tho

sanitaire has the the brushes at the top of the motor and euerekas have em at the bottom

[dburrigh]

Very nice Drew!

[nomaman1925]

Very nice Drew I like the sound it makes. :)

[McgrawEdisonMan]

Pure awesomeness Drew! :) It sounds exactly like my sanitaire, they probably have the same motors. Mine also has a vibra-Groomer II brushroll but it has four rows of brisstles for some reason. I really need to get around to making some vids of my vacs.

[genmac1]

sounds like shes real healthy nice find

[vwestlife]

I have an Eureka based on the same chassis, but it's brown and it says "The Boss."

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Thatz is really nice! I love the color too and the light up name plate.

[daewooparts]

it really sounds like a vacuum, unlike today's cheap chinese crap

[beauloftis1976]

Nice vacuum! Yeah, that will outperform a modern vacuum any day! It kind of looks like a Eureka vacuum my grandparents had, only theirs was older, probably from the 70's, and I don't think it was self propelled. It had push buttons for the carpet selection, I think. Oh, and your Terracotta Lakewood S-223 looks good on that stool!

[professorkiwi]

That Eureka is beautiful!! Sounds great!

[locohog91]

Thanks Kiry!

[mitchman2100]

ABOUT TIME! Lol.

I love it! I like the way the logo lighs up.

I have to get one of these now.

[locohog91]

i do too, it was worth the wait, and man u should get one. its worth it

[imthepatton]

nice find!! i like the sound too, a lot like my sanitaire.
