Mr. Eureka vacuum liked to travel; he has been to the kitchen, the living room and has taken many tours through the bathroom. At the age of 5 he broke his handle and about a month later his cord ripped. On April 1, 2004, he choked on a dust bunny from under the refrigerator in the kitchen.

His wife Mrs. Hoover preceded him in death, and his brothers Dirt Devil and Whirlwind survived him.
