Hi All
Today I just bought off Ebay this new old stock PYE handyvac stick cleaner from the 1960's. I remember these well as they were in direct competition to the Hooverette although a relatively poor attempt. The differences were mainly the PYE has the dirty fan set up, is very noisy, the bag set up is like the junior/seniors with open ended bag attached to a support tube. 250w motor. but it's great to find one all the same yet alone new. Consumer tests in the day rated under electrical as 'unsatisfactory' Cheers Mike | ||

And a steal at just ... 19 pounds, 19 shillings ... although I bet it was marketed as 19 guineas back in the day. Have fun with your new cleaner! | ||

PYE Any new in box is a great find! I think it was Hamilton Beach that had a vac that looked similar in US.Much of the rug tool looks like our Eureka. | ||

i'm pretty sure your right there eurekaprince. PYE called it the rotovac and there is so much about the vac that screams eureka. PYE also put out another canister vac which is identical to the eureka princess. A pretty blurry photo taken from the department store in the late 60's in sydney shows the third cleaner down.
