I pulled a newer Singer canister out of the trash yesterday. I was wondering if bags are available or what can I substitute. The machine says "System 90" and its made by Ryobi, in South Carolina. Too many other scratches thru the data plate to get more info. It looks like a Panasonic canister, but I have yet to try to see if the Panasonic bags would fit. Just wondering if any one out there knows a little about these newer Singers. Its complete and runs great. Just one of those oddball cleaners that I want to play with for a while. I'll see if I can snap a pic later to help describe it better.

I'm slowly answering my own questions...
The bags are SLL-1 and I'm able to locate them on the web. Not all that cheap of bags mind you. I did notice that Eureka style "V" is very close. The cardboard collar is a tad wider. I'm going to try and cut about an 1/8th inch total off the Eureka bag collar and I think it will work enough for me to play with the machine some.

Is your Singer the grey colored one with the powernozzle? I remember a Singer canister that was sold at Target in the 80's and I kick myself for not buying one. Can't wait for the picture!

That's the one here too
That is what mine looks like except I have no plug for a power nozzle. There is a knockout in the plastic where the power nozzle cord plugs in on the machine. Of course, being a trash find, its not in the best of shape. Good enough though and maybe it'll be better once its cleaned up a bit.

That is one Singer that I have never seen before. Use to be a regular Target shopper too. I just wonder if it was only sold in certain areas? Any idea of when it was made. Sure is a beautiful machine. Terry |

I remember these in the early 80's at Target. They also used to sell the upright with the green accents and the little singer logos all over the bag. I always wish i would have bought the Canister though. |

Hi Marty, Back in the 80's I shopped at Target on a weekly basis. I am sure if they would have had this neat machine I would have wanted one too. I just wonder if it was only in certain areas? Thanks for the information. Terry |
