Vintage Eureka Vacuums 1909, A man named Fred Wardell starts a company called Eureka Vacuum Cleaners in Detroit Michigan. Three years in business and he has six top selling models that have these amazing attachments no one else has at that time.

One of these innovative attachments was a hair dryer and due to the lightness and improved designs Eureka vacuums were awarded the grand prize at the San Francisco International Expedition in 1915. This award helped to increase business to the point where they were manufacturing 2000 vacuum cleaner units 5 years later in their Michigan factory.

In 1942 the Eureka Vacuum Company had to cease manufacturing of their units due to the World War II. Instead they were building war items such as gas masks. After the war Eureka joined forces with Williams O Matic who ran a heating business. Strange as it sounds the two companies would eventually be known for a product called, "the wooden lung." It was used to treat polio and infantile paralysis.

Ten years later Eureka-Williams as they were know returned to their original business of vacuum cleaners and associated products. Over time they had built a battery operated car and a thermal battery for NASA.

Later in 1974 Eureka-Williams was purchased by AB Electrolux from Sweden and the name was changed back to The Eureka Company. Over the next 20 years The Eureka Company grew it business by increasing manufacturing with plants in Texas, Mexico and Illinois.

At the beginning of the millennium Eureka was offering Electrolux vacuum cleaners. Since 2004 The Eureka company officially changed their name to Electrolux Home Care Products North America. The year 2009 marked the 100th anniversary of the Eureka Vacuum cleaner company. Other names Eureka goes by are: Sanitaire, Electrolux Central Vacuum Systems (Beam) and Electrolux itself.
