Sunbeam
The first church I cleaned for had to of the round Sunbeams. They were awesome vacuums. I also remember them being on the loud side. Both were blue in color, tools were oddly shaped if I remember correctly. The dusting brush and crevise tool worked great on the pedal board to the organ. The main vacuum was a Eureka upright (3amp, white and gold, wood brush with beater bar)which I used in the sanctuary, used the Sunbeams on the fellowship hall wood floor and the two stairs leading to the basement. Later there was a Montgomery Wards 4 amp upright(eureka) orange in color to use in the basement. When I really wanted to deep clean I would bring my mothers 508 Kirby, attatchments an all.... | ||

Wow..great pictures..
Yes I have a hat-box Sunbeam. Mine is blue and is still in the orange and white box that it came in. This was my grandparents, they bought it through the S&H green stamp store. After their Electrolux XXX died. They bought that one new as well from a salesman. They used the XXX for cleaning out the car and then vacuuming their basement floor. They bought the Sunbeam for that as well. They at that time probably could have gotten the lux fixed but didnt feel it was worth it being as old as it was. I also have the suitcase one as well, but mine needs a new motor in it. David | ||
