hi. all the lewyts look great. i keep hoping i will come across a model 77 as it is my fav next to the model 93 lewyt leader. i had a leader model when i was younger. it had the material covered hose and had detachable ends on the hose both ends. i think my dad got rid of it when they sold the house. i have been in the uk for 15 years now and miss america a lot. i hope i can find a model 77 like yours. i like yours as it has the same material covered hose like mine had.

Nice ! Doug Really nice collection of Lewyt vacuums. Especially if you can get the Power Nozzels you need. Then to have the one that was your mothers first one too. Thanks for sharing all the pictures and in order. Hope you find the ones you need. As they were great cleaners, wish they had continued to be made. Norm | ||

Hi Norm:
Thanks - I'm pretty much down to just looking for Electrolux, Goblin, Lewyt and President machines now. Eventually I'll get the whole set of the Lewyts. Inicidentally the big wheels machines did continue to be made till the late 1980's in Europe by Holland Electro who bought the patents etc when Lewyt went bankrupt in 61/2 Doug | ||

Nice Lewyts, everyone... anyone have the electric power nozzle? I would be interested in pictures of it, especially the underside and internal if possible. | ||

I've always loved Lewyts, especially the "trash can" models. My grandmother has a 44 that hasn't been used in at least ten years....works like a charm, but missing the original hose. | ||

Awesome! The Holland Electro is the vacuum we had when I was a child. I think my mother bought it in 1966 or thereabout. | ||

Model 44 Lewyt
This is my model 44 Lewyt. It's similar to the model 40, with the exception of the rug nozzle (they added the comb-valve), the hose (they made the curved handle portion part of the hose instead of separate), and the top of the cleaner came OVER the rubber gasket instead of sitting inside the rubber gasket of the dirt container.

Wet/Dry Lewyt
Very Interesting. The model 40 Lewyt instruction manual suggested you use the sprayer to spray suds/water on the carpet, agitate it in with the bare floor tool, then suck it up with the vacuum. Empty before the water reaches the intake, less it spill out when disconnecting the hose...
But the motor is NOT a by-pass motor, the filter would be soaked, and to top it off the machine isn't grounded. Can you imagine the electric shock when touching the vacuum AND the sink at the same time?

Was there an optional dolly for the Lewyt 40, 55 models? If there is no dolly, then how were they supposed to be moved around when cleaning? dragged on the floor or rug? or was the user expected to pick it up and move it all the time?
