Collector's seem to either love these or hate these. I received one of the first ones for a Christmas gift when they first came out. I had two of the earlier versions and gave them to a fellow collector.
Thanks to two other collectors. I have three L-shaped versions. I remember using one of the grey ones at the church of Christ when I was younger.

Vacuuming at Church... Kenny, Did you feel the power of the holy spirit when you used the Regina Housekeeper? As one who has a few religious experiences with appliances, I was just wonderin'. Thanks, Sean | ||

The honor of the first upright vacuum with on-board hose would go to the Dyson "Cyclon 1000" in 1984.

Kenny,
I'm one of those collectors who both love and hate these. I love them because they are very nostalgic to my childhood and though I enjoy playing with the 7 or 8 that I have I do wish they were better made. My favorite of the Plus models is the earlier one with the more squared nozzle like the one on the left. I love the maroon color of the middle one. Very pretty. Sean, one would need a dose of Holy Spirit after using one of these in a church as this vacuum would tend to make one cuss up a storm when being applied in a commercial setting. | ||

My aunt had the one on the left except hers was beige on the top part. My grandma had the burgundy one which replaced a Kenmore Heavy Duty. Then it got replaced when the Windtunnel came out. My aunt got about ten years out of her Regina which was proably a long lifespan for Reginas.She
replaced it with a Windtunnel bagless. I remember the brushroll on hers being really loud. I wish I still had them for sentimental reasons. I do have a Regina 1000 I think it's called but I never use it. | ||

Reginas!
Here are my Reginas, a model 39 and model 59. First pic is both of them, then the 39 with attachments, then the 59 with attachments. The 39 runs great, the 59 doesn't run. Both need a little polish.
