Eureka is a manufacturer of vacuum cleaners. The company is best known for "The Boss" line of vacuum cleaners, which were heavily promoted in the late 1980s.
The company was founded in 1909 by Fred Wardell to build vacuum cleaners. By 1927, Eureka was selling one third of all vacuums manufactured in the US. 1930 saw expansion into making other appliances with the introduction of the Eureka electric range. The company would continue to expand its horizons, eventually manufacturing such diverse items as heaters, air conditioners, a wooden lung, and school furniture.
In 1961, the company became the first U.S. manufacturer to produce a purpose-built electric car, the Henney Kilowatt.
In 1974, Eureka was purchased by AB Electrolux of Sweden and the name was changed to The Eureka Company. Eureka brand vacuums continue to be manufactured to the present.
