As I have not posted about most of these, I figured it would be easiest to just make one thread for all of them. The Lite($10) was from ReStore and NIB. The only issue is that the roller motor is not working. The Superbroom ($5) is from Peddler's mall and works like new. The Hoover Deluxe ($10) is from a vendor's mall and after some repair, works fine. The later Hoover ($1) is from Offerup. It works fine on all three speeds but is very loud. The Swivel Stick ($9) is from Goodwill and works like new. This one is different from the Plus, as it has 6 amps, one speed, and a toggle switch. The plus is from ReStore and works but the switch is slow. What are some of you guy's vintage stick vacs?

I have the stick vac plus it's 2 speed 3.5 amps.
It's straight suction machine. I don't know how much difference is with higher amperage. The dirt devil is fun to vacuum with. It cleans wood/tile floor or corners it works great. Les |

I've had a number of Bissell Featherweights and 3-Ways over the years. They're pretty good for a straight suction stick vac.

I'm not much into stick vacs myself, but I do have this Hoover Quick Broom that belonged to my Mom. Got the instruction book and sales receipt too. It's great for a quick tidy up.

The electric Broom from Regina in todays "Vacumm of the Day" could be considered an older stick vacuum. |

Indeed, anyone who has one of the first models of the Regina Electrikbroom from the 1950’s has an important piece of North American stick vac history.
The history of the stick-vac in other parts of the world is interesting too. I wonder if the very early Vorwerk Kobolds could be considered stick vacs...I imagine they really can as it basically had a long stick handle attached to a small suction motor unit. Also, Japan’s Panasonic invented the concept of adding wands to a hand vac in the 1980’s. That Japanese design is what eventually gave birth to all the current crop of handvacs that become stick vacs with the attachment of a long wand. |
