Pretty good find. I used to see these in catalogs but never saw the Powerbrush version in person. They were pricey, but I don't think Bissell had the upright cleaners with revolving brushes at the time, so these were about as close as you could get to that back then. (Other than the Hoover Steamvacs with rotary brushes that were just coming out).
I think these do-everything type vacuums didn't really catch on at the time, hence most carpet cleaners these days are the upright type and can't really be used as a wet/dry vac like these canisters could. Not sure why, perhaps they were too complicated to use or store? |
