The (in)famous Duo-Power line, and one twin fan model This would be pretty much the end of the Duo Power cleaners, they were dropped at the end of 1981. |

Sears had one of these for every budget too... Problem was these were miserable, flimsy things that did not last very long at all. |

My great aunt had the 2999... that was an awesome vacuum. My grandmother saved it for me, or so I thought, until I went to get it one day and she gave it to my cousin!!! Knowing him, it's gone now. Darn it! |

It's the first one posted. Thank you so much, that's exactly it! Wow, I haven't seen that vacuum in 20 years. I really appreciate it. Now if I could only come across one on Ebay or Craigslist, I'd be set. |

To my knowledge Singer never actually made their own vacuum cleaners. They were always made by other companies but modified to the singer specs (eg - the Golden Glide was made by Eureka but was fancier than the standard Eureka models of the time). When Singer went away from having their own Singer Sewing Centers in favor of selling through various other shops the vacuum line seems to have died off.

As you can see, the Birtman motor uses a much bigger filter. |
