Interesting. I had never heard of Readivac. I Googled their home page and looked at what they call the Surge Canister. Neat vac. Is it made in the US? | ||

Didn't the Douglas Quickut make knives as well as vacuums?The kitchen knife set was often a "deal closer" offered to Kirby prospects to seal the deal. | ||

Douglas Brand I think is made by Scott and Fetzer(Kirby) I have a shopvac that is a scott and Fetzer product. I bought it in the mid 70's.. It has been a good wet/dry shop vac.. | ||

I have a Douglas Readivac
It is identical to the Oreck Ironman, except for some basic cosmetics. I use Oreck bags.
It isn't fancy, but it works quite well and is surprisingly powerful. I remember checking its water-lift. Don't recall the result but it was higher than I expected. Not my daily driver, but I keep it in the closet for quick pickups on the second floor as the house has all wood floors. My friendly Oreck dealer gave me a free turbine brush to use with it. It takes off like a jet engine on the Readivac. | ||
