Housekeeper. Now was this ( model 2500 ) the first or was there an earlier one? This one does have a power switch, I was told that one of these came on when the handel was let down. The attachments say 1987 but the vacuum on the box is a model 3000 and if you look very hard ( you can't see it from my pic ) you can see a few differences on the one on the box. This baby is in mint. I can't believe that this cheap hunk of plastic is in this condition. I would say it was a wedding that got used once. Lol

Phillip,

I received a Housekeeper for Christmas when I was about four or five years old (around 1989 or 1990). My dad took it apart and never put it back together for me. So it got trashed !!! It didn't survive long. I believe mine was in the same colors as yours, but it had an L shaped power nozzle. I don’t remember much about it, the Electrolux uprights remind me a lot of them.

OMG

Phillip! What A nice find! That is an early one indeed!I think it was either their second or third model around 87,88ish These are very rare due to their poor build quality.
