Hello All,
May sound odd but I seem to remember buying a red upright Dirt Devil and a red hand held Dirt Devil in the mid or late 70's. I do not remember it that well and I cannot say that the hose was attached to the vacuum. Does anyone have a picture of the first Dirt Devil upright that they can post? As I remember it, it was not that bad of a vacuum. I later gave it to a young couple in the building when I moved. Thank you for looking, Pete |

I remember thinking the hand cleaner was ok but that upright was just another chunk of plastic.My views have not changed! |

This is one of their first uprights, Powerful but flimsy. I got this baby at a yard sale about 2 years ago and gave it the treatment. It's one of my favorites because this model was a big part of my childhood:)
