As it is pretty much the Convertable/Senior layout right down to the brushroll you you would wonder what could go wrong with such a proved design. That said, in my experience it soes not actually seem to perform as well as a Hoover and although the front is pretty much the same width somehow it seems much bulkier than the Hoover

Hello!
I am very sorry but I haven't seen this vacuum cleaner in my life!!!I know that some manufacturers of electric appliances like washing machines or steam irons in certain years also made vacuum cleaner, just to be present on the market.Usually cheap appliances, less expensive than those of other brands and with hard to find spares and replacement parts.what do you think? Greetings, Tommy |

Tommy
The cleaner has a sticker on it "Made In Italy" which was why I thought you might know something of it, but hey we cannot know them all :) You are correct that this would have been very much at the cheaper end of the market although as they would need to to the mouldings for the plastics they would have been in production for some time. Jason Well it certainly would not be the first time that an American design crossed the pond and indeed maybe someone bought up the moulds or perhaps a load of excess or redundant stock with a view to making some money from it. Curiously there is also a label on it saying that the cleaner must be earthed (grounded) which at this time (late 1970s I am assuming) was almost unheard of for vacuum cleaners but could give a hint to a commercial ancestry - also strange as almost everything about this cleaner seems to be plastic! I am hoping that some of our members who study the various home shopping catalogues might have some information to add. Al |

I do. I think it was a clean air machine with a connection on the bag door for a hose. |
