It also came with the box, or as I like to say "The horse it rode in on"..... |

Lewyt had to remind it's customers that it was in fact a vacuum cleaner. Just in case they tried to bake a cake in it. |

It pulls a good 150 on the meter I don't have. But, it pulled my hand way into the intake. Anyone want to 'splain this nozzle to me? When you push it forward. there is a full-width inlet... |

When you pull it back, this little door closes, exposing the "gleaner" (stealing that term from Electrolux) and all but seals off any air-flow! It leaves just a tiny slit for the dirt to pass through...I don't get it!!! |

Wow Rick, that is a neat machine. Aren't you glad that you have been a good boy this year and "Santa Toby" made a visit? One would wonder what Lewyt was thinking when they used the same design as FQ. Thanks for sharing!! Terry |

Curious, the 3 tub Lewyts (40/44/55 and now 66) I have all have their rug rake intact and operating. Works just fine on low cut pile carpet. Not so successful on newer looped carpet and certainly not on Shag. LOL It was designed for the common area carperts of the day. The manual specifically mentions the clicking sound you hear on back & forth cleaning. Naturally, on a brand new carpet it would pick up too much fiber lint that would clog and bind the rake's hinges so that's what may have caused the negative CR reports. Due to the Lewyt's superior suction draw, mine all work, and quite well on threads and pet hair and obviously the former owners had no problem with it. Congrats Rick, on being saved by Toby from Lewyt Deprivation Syndrome, now that I have the beautiful blue Lewyt 66 - it is confirmed a 66, btw. Dave. |
