I don't know for sure, but the floor nozzle arrangement seems to allow for quick detachment. That suggests to me that fixed attachments could then be attached to the stick and the machine might be used in a different mode. |

That looks great, does it groom at all, or is it a stick vac type affair? |

It has a brushroll in the floor nozzle. It's put together a lot like an older Eureka canister nozzle in the way the brushroll is made. |

Back in 1983-84 when i lived in an apt., a neighbor guy that lived next door had this same one, in yellow, with the JC Penny badge. It did have a hose and cheapy plastic attachments, seems like there was a little spring loaded door on the back somwehere to attach the hose. Never used this machine, but i do remember it standing in his living room. The dude wasnt much on cleaning house, so i never heard it in action either, darn it.
Next thing i knew he moved out, so never got to know him well enough to ask to "borrow" his vac!,,and check it out futher. |

It came with a Bissell 5890 bag in it, the bag collar of which is pretty specific to the machine in terms of how it fits to the bag dock. |
