I have some Sears and JcPenney catalogs with vacs to post. I will add them to this thread as I get them scanned. Is that okay?
Here is a 1991-92 Sears: i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... One of my neighbors had a Kirby and the #4 on this page. I had one like #6 that I found, but it was jade green and missing everything except the hose. i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... Sorry this page seems to have been cut out: i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... And this as well: i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... Notice there are only two plastic Hoover uprights in the catalog. And probably the last time the Convertible appears. i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... I always thought that little white Kenmore canister was neat. I have never seen one. i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... I always thought the #7 handvac was cool. I found one in a thrift store, in the box with a packet of Capture cleaning powder about 10 years after, but didn't buy it. i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... I thought the Kenmore Heavy Duty and Cleanmore were so cool, they were my favorites, but I never recall seeing any. i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... i13.photobucket.com/albums/a251/f... |

Thats cool to see all that! Back when that catalog was published I was so into Wards and Penney's that I hardly ever looked at Sears. But now I wish that I had. |

The little blue suction-only canister vac was made by Sanyo - Sanyo always made great suction-only canister vacs that were both powerful and extremely quiet. The little $50 white canister vacs a few pages back (product #9 on the seventh page) was also made by Sanyo - at some point Sears called it the "Let's Clean" vac! Some versions of that older white canister had an electrified hose with a power switch on the handle.
My only problem with many of the Sanyo canister vacs from that era is that they were bagless and emptying the dirt cassettes was always a messy task. As well, the hoses were often very short (only 5 feet). Sears Kenmore vacs were made by many manufacturers besides their prime supplier Whirlpool (later Matshushita/Panasonic). The other suppliers were Sanyo, Regina, Ryobi, LG, Sweden's Electrolux and its Eureka subsidiary. |

Thanks everyone.
Eurekaprince, thanks for the info on those small canisters. Looking at them, I assumed it was the same manufacturer. And, I recall in another ad I read back then that the blue canister was bagless. floor-a-matic, I always liked the Kenmore Cleanmore and Heavy Duty. massagemiracle, since you mentioned Montgomery Wards, I will post this ad from a M-W 1994 Dream Book. It has some less common models. If I do the JcPenney catalogs, I will put them in a new thread, so this doesn't get so long. |

My mother's favorite; she said the head of vac is very much like an Electrolux PN-1 & the old style upright. |

What is the vacuum cleaner on the cover of the Sears brochure, entitled "Isn't it time for some New Technology"?
It's an extremely rare vacuum, with a VERY unique feature - which was part of its' name. It's "living proof" (once again) that James Dyson didn't invent anything new. So to any vintage vacuum buffs out there: What is it? And what is it's unique feature? (I know, of course, but think it will be fun to find out if anyone else does). |

This was the catalog page spread i was referring to #5 (see link). I called this WideTrack Eureka a 'Boss' simply because it shares the same outer bag look as the low line Boss model which is still available. This WideTrack sports the better brush roll and more powerful motor from what i can make out, so it is more properly 'Boss like'.
