Tacony bought that design from Bissell, and allowed Bissell to use the "Healthy Home" trade-mark that was Tacony's. Tacony continued to build those machines, although they were problematic and prone to failure. I never sold one to a customer, but Tacony used that model as a 'give away' for Charitable donations. Almost all of them came back for service within a short amount of time. That machine is still made by Tacony as a commercial machine for their Powr Flite division (why they think it is in any way a commercial vacuum I don't know). They made it in yellow as a Carpet Pro, and in red as a Fuller Brush, in blue as a Powr Flite, and in white as a Maytag (which didn't get past the prototype stage).

Most collectors here would likely say "plastic junk". I seen one in Goodwill a few years ago for $9.99 so that's what I'd say it's worth. But really, it's whatever someone wants to pay for it. $10? $20? $35? who knows.
It's one of those "Oreck clones" that everyone was trying to make at that time frame (early millennium). I have a Hoover Clean & Light myself which is a somewhat similar design. |
