![]() The "Commander" name was actually been used way before they looked like these Commanders. Kenmore, like Hoover, loved to switch their names around and try them out on other models. I think you are right, Charles...the Commander rocket tank style started around the late 30's. Such a great vacuum! I loved all the attachments! |

Then there's this, from the film "Rocketeer" -- a vacuum cleaner used to fool would-be jet-pack thieves! ![]() |

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mark for those manual scans.
My Commander came strapped into the 'other' cart and yes, the yellow panel with pockets is original to it. This must have been designed to fit several different cylinder diameters as it has three sets of snaps positions on the vacuum 'belt'. The back springs that make it easy to drag up a staircase also pull tension of the stretcher tool caddy fabric keeping it pulled taut. The base has an exhaust pit that direct exhaust upward. The handle is a one piece hollow aluminum tube that bolts to the base. Obviously the hose is a replacement as is the white Kenmore floor nozzle. Pertinent information cast into the cart base is: The CAR-REE-VAC Model 2-A Made in USA by Car-Ree-All Products, Inc. Minneapolis Minnesota, patents pending That is all I know about it but I believe a picture of it appears in one of the PODs. ![]() |

Love the xploded parts diagrams, Charles. Interesting that the Ken Kart lets the exhaust blast the floor and surrounding area.
I never meant to suggest that my Car-Eee-Vac cart was a Kenmore accessory. But I knew I had a picture of it somewhere and here it is. It's an accessory that appears in a Universal advert within the Owners Manual for the Universal E-65 Thread #6222 that Crevicetool posted in 2009. See Link, if only to see how funny we used to be. :-) CLICK HERE TO GO TO aeoliandave's LINK ![]() This post was last edited 04/13/2011 at 07:06 |

It's an exact match. Closeup of what Universal was calling the Roll-A-Vac available separately .
The adjust-ability I refer to is the wide three position strap that belts virtually any cylinder to the cart. I don't dare risk asking Rick to scan it again. running and ducking, Dave Rats, now I'm going to have to get my first Universal Tank to strap into it...and after all, my Commander Bomb does have perfectly acceptable landing gear...er...wheels. ![]() |

I believe this is the tool caddy for the original post. It is some kind of fiber board I think, and a bit warped. Has a cloth carry strap. And diagonal tubes for some of the attachments. ![]() |

The Kenmore name on the front is very faint. ![]() |
