I would love to see the vintage tank/canister (cylinder for our friends outside the USA) cleaners in everyone's collections. I'm a BIG canister vacuum fan. The first vacuums I remember were my mother's Compact and Rainbow vacuums, our neighbor's KenKart, my aunt's Electrolux, by best friend's mom's Fairfax, etc. They cleaned the alter at church with a GE pink Swivel Top. My mother's best friend had a golden monarch Filter Queen.
So I thought it would be fun to show off all our favorite canister/tank type cleaners. I'll start with the Hospital Model G in cream/tan from 1967.

The Eureka Roto-Matic (on left) and Air-O-Matic (on right). The tank cleaner is surprisingly powerful for the time (early 1950's).

The beautifully designed Air-Way "Priscilla". The rug nozzle was unique to this model, and cleans flawlessly (certainly one of the best cleaning straight suction nozzle of all time).

The Electrolux Model XX (20) is a rarely seen model. Built as an 'economy' model for a very short period of time right before World War II.

Drooling... Over those old Kenmores, they sure don't make them like they used too! Great pictures everyone! I love the Saturn and the other Kenmores especially. Everything else is great too, it is nice to see new pictures instead of the same old stuff. I will have to get some pictures of my canisters. -Tyler | ||

Most of my collection is metal uprights, most of those are Royals, my favorites. But I have been adding some tanks and canisters laltely. Not pictured are a late 1940s Kenmore Commander like my Grandmother had decades complete Filter Queen Limited Edition. Here is my Royal 4650.

Recently I have been interested in Compacts and Tristars. Here is a 1993 CXL I am completing. I chrome painted the side badge and have ordered an exsaust cap and new bumper since I could not completely remove the dark stains near the motor. I so am working on a Compact C2 and C5.

The Modern Hygiene, made by Royal Appliance. Modern Hygiene was a direct sales company who purchased Modern Hygiene vacs from Royal and sold them door to door (like Health-Mor did for the first two models of Filter Queen).

Next is a Westinghouse model SC-1. This one belonged to an aunt whose husband worked at the Mansfield, OH Westinghouse plant most of his life. I got it when they went into assisted living. It is complete except for instruction book (I do have one for a later model that is somewhat similar) and original except for the hose.

And now, my Hoover Constellation 82. This is a very special vac in my collection, as my Grandpa bought it for my Grandma for their 40th anniversary in 1955, which was their last, as he passed away the following February, just 4 months & 2 weeks before I was born. Grandma moved in with us just before I turned 9, and from then until she passed away she only used it to clean her room. Mom got the Connie when Grandma passed away, then I got it when Mom moved from her house to an apartment.

Yes delaneymeegan, the Connie instruction book IS round. And yes, it has been well taken care of, and saw very little use from 1965 until 1992. About the only signs of wear are on the tool caddy and crevice tool, the strip brush on the rug nozzle is pretty well worn down, and the hose is permanently stretched from many years of Grandma keeping it hung up--the weight of the machine end connector caused the stretching. And thank you for the compliments.

Ben,
Thanks for the picture of your Premier 21 with a different style bag. I guess I should add that after seeing your Electro Hygiene tanks, I would like to find one that has black skid runners on it. My mom bought it from a door to door salesman in the 50's. It was a workhorse for a straight suction model and lasted many years. It was my job to empty the shake out bag, we never had the paper inserts. Also mom replaced it with a Westinghouse canister similar to the one you also have pictured, but it only had wheels on the base, if I remember correctly. I always had trouble changing the paper bag in mom's as it had a rubber gasket that had to fit over a rubber inlet..... PR-21 Bud | ||

Bud,
Is this the Electro-Hygiene tank you were speaking of? It is a model 950. And like you said, it is a workhorse of a tank! Great suction, yet quiet running. Unfortunately, I don't have all the attachments, and think the ones I do have with it are actually newer, and the wands I got with it look like their from a 200 Filter Queen. I don't have a hose for it either, and borrow one from one of the other tanks when I need to. I've wanted one of these ever since I started collecting, and was glad to get it. Hope you find one someday too.
Jeff

Here are all of my canisters/tanks
90% of them were made before 1996. I figured that I'd post them all.

Alexhoovers, Justin Nice Chrome Dome Justin! Alex, naughty boy! Nah, teaser. I hope you're not compensating. It's not the girth that matters, but what's in the heart and mind. Like I say, be good, and if, or when you're bad, be good at it! | ||

The first Rainbow power nozzle was sourced from Oreck, who got it from Whirlpool Corporation. The cord is a two wire, non grounded cord. Basically it's an Oreck married to a Rainbow.

Tom...Believe it or not... Clay said in the early 60s for a VERY short time they used the Whirlpool L shaped one like the Lady Kenmore, Clay said Mr Mench told them to sell it ONLY to save a sale, otherwise don't tell the client it was available. | ||

Thank you Tom... and everyone else who posted pictures. Although I do not have an extensive collection, I am lately thinking about letting some go in favor of some machines I would like to own. My first choice to get is a Airway...88 or Vitavac. Hopefully one will land in my lap. Thanks again for sharing! | ||

don't forget the zapper Maybe I missed it, but Tom, I don't think you showed any of the zappers in this thread, can't forget those. I also love canister cleaners, doesn't matter whether they are tank, round or any other shape. I also love central vacuums and backpack cleaners. Mike | ||

Oh Yes Mike:
The Lewyt Zapper. Like winning the million dollars on Wheel of Fortune, a number of things had to happen before the rectifier failed and sent 120 volts into the operator's arm. The lawsuits killed the Lewyt Corporation, which was sold to SCM (Smith Corona Manufacturing) as the Shetland Lewyt. | ||
