The first church I cleaned for had to of the round Sunbeams. They were awesome vacuums. I also remember them being on the loud side. Both were blue in color, tools were oddly shaped if I remember correctly. The dusting brush and crevise tool worked great on the pedal board to the organ. The main vacuum was a Eureka upright (3amp, white and gold, wood brush with beater bar)which I used in the sanctuary, used the Sunbeams on the fellowship hall wood floor and the two stairs leading to the basement. Later there was a Montgomery Wards 4 amp upright(eureka) orange in color to use in the basement. When I really wanted to deep clean I would bring my mothers 508 Kirby, attatchments an all.... |

My Mom used to have a Sunbeam Courier vacuum-very nice quiet,and powerful machine.Loved the attachments how they stowed inside-a "suitcase" vacuum? |
