I'm a blind person, can someone tell me what these pictures are? I can use speech to read the screen but it can't describe pictures, at least not yet, though I think that's coming. Mike |

Mike - one of the pictures is of a cream and brown coloured 1950’s (maybe 1960’s) Kenmore power nozzle canister and all its attachments and hose all nicely stored on a wheeled cart. That must have been quite a heavy package to trundle up and down a flight of stairs. Looks very much like a contemporary travel suitcase on wheels with a handle sticking up for trundling through the house. But in order to bring the canister up and down a flight of stairs, it must have been easier to remove it from the wheeled cart and to carry it by hand by the vinyl suitcase handle.

Fascinating! That 1958 Lady Kenmore has a coiled power nozzle cord like the old telephones had! Cool!
You have to hand it to Sears: the company has really worked hard to provide innovative canister vacuums to the North American consumer for over 50 years. And have been selling quality canister cleaners right to the present day - no matter who made the machines whether it was Birtman, Whirlpool, Panasonic or Cleva. |

Sears has lost there way, I'm afraid they are about gone. |

I know Hans. Some of Sears largest suburban stores in Canada will be closing: the one in Yorkdale Mall in Toronto and my “go to” store for everything here in Montreal at Fairview Centre Pointe-Claire.
I feel as sad as I did when I heard they were closing Eureka’s plant in Bloomington, Illinois. ☹️ “Sunrise, sunset. Sunrise, sunset. Swiftly flow the years. One season following another. Laden with happiness and tears.” |

Just curious, is that Lewyt moddel one of the zappers? Sounds like you have a lot of canisters, I love canisters, I much prefer them over uprights which is why I have no uprights in my collection. Canisters are much more flexible and easier to clean with. And a power nozzle canister will clean carpets as good as, if not better than an upright. Mike |

With the low voltage hose, one is chrome, I haven't tried them yet, I have probably 500 or so canisters and tanks. |
