When the kiddos drop cookie crumbs on the floor and you don't feel like dragging out the full-sized vacuum........this works GREAT! I LOVE this little broom, it's identical to one my grandfather had when I was growing up. I loved going up there every weekend and pulling it out and playing with it! Running this little guy brings back so many good memories!!

According to a label on the bag-the design came from the 1700's makes me think of wallpaper.Would be really neat if there was a cordless version of the ElectricBroom. |

I agree. Those little stick vacs can be just the ticket or small cleanups. I use my Hoover Quik Broom mainly to pick up cat litter.
The Colonial-inspired bag design on that Regina would "scream '70s" because in the middle of that decade this country was all about the bicentennial and Colonial motifs were very "in", even back into the '60s. I'm not surprised the cordless versions of those sweepers don't work today. Battery packs--and they would have been nickel-cadmium back then--have a pretty limited shelf life. To get one running today, you'd have to come up with an equivalent modern battery pack, which may or may not be worth the trouble. |

Cordless vacuum-mine would be the Simplicity Freedom cordless upright--this thing REAlly works-the only cordless vac I have tried that I like.Its strangely addictive to use!!!Just turn on and go-no searching for outlets to plug into!!No cord to get in the way! |

I have to say, we love our Hoover Linx cordless vacuum for quick pick ups. It does a great job on both carpets and bare floors and the battery lasts about 20 minutes. |
