Beauty!
I'll admit...I'm a canister vac fan for the most part.
But that is a nice looking machine! Plus, I don't know if I'm in the minority here, but I do have a fondness for Sears stuff. I will feel bad when their seemingly inevitable demise occurs. It's also neat to see it next to the similar, but not as heavily optioned version. Barry | ||

Also.... Here it is in the 1985 Catalog. I can't believe it was over $300.00! The blue one is the one it is sitting next to in the 3rd picture of my first post. | ||

Wow! $300 was a lot of scratch back in the mid-80's for a vacuum. | ||

Rolls Rapide,
The motor in this Twin Fan upright is seated sideways with one fan on each side of the motor. One side also has the brush roll belt. This revolutionary configuration made its debut way back in the 1950’s with Raymond Loewy’s redesign of an upright cleaner for the Singer Company. Before that design, most uprights in North America had a single fan facing downward or facing forward like the Kirby. The revolutionary Singer Twin Fan went through some design changes over the years, but kept the sideways motor with two fans on either side. Singer also produced these kind of uprights for Sears Kenmore, Lewyt and Sunbeam. | ||
