Sanyo had great canister vacs in the 1970's - lightweight, powerful and really quiet. Sears contracted some Kenmore "Let's Clean" canisters from Sanyo. Hated the "bagless dust cassette" technology though!
And don't forget the early Panasonics! They were the ancestors of a great line of Japanese made vacuum cleaners..... | ||

I've got a Brother!
vacuum, that is. Same company that makes the printers, sewing machines, and other office machines. It is a lime green canister that takes bags. It has a Turbobrush that has a rubber agitator brush. Also an electronic speed control.
I bought it years ago on Ebay from "mixermagoo". I think he may be a member here. Guy | ||

Doug - yes that's one of the very first Sanyo vacs sold in Canada.....can't remember if the one you are showing was bagless. My father was the advertising producer for Sanyo products imported into Canada from 1969-1989, so I remember them well. The later versions were even more lightweight and sleek - one had a red transparent dust cassette that you emptied. We owned a blue and white one with a dust cassette. Though the hose was short, I loved the on/off switch on the hose handle!!! :-)

At one radio station where I worked they had an old sanyo vac that resembled an Electrolux vacuum-the Sanyo had a cloth dump bag-simply dumpted it in the towerfeild when done vacuuming at the site with it.It vacuumed out the sites transmitters many times. | ||

This is one of my Hitachi vacuums
A cv2000. As with most Japanese vacs of this era their was no paper bag but a reusable pleated filter. You cleaned the filter by turning a crank which then ran little spines across the back of the filter shaking the dust out. A extra special part of this machine was the fact that the cord winder had a takeoff which also spun this crank on pulling out and retracting the cord thus leaving the filter clean for its next use | ||
