Hello all, just wondering what kind(s) of motors Sunbeam used in their vacs.  From searching old threads I gather they made their own motors that varied widely in quality.  Anyone have images to share?  I'd love to see them.  I thought of this thread because I once saw inside a Lewyt canister that had the same motor and plastic impeller as their stick vac, and it would've been a poor performer, while some Lewyts had Lamb motors and were decent vacs.  Sunbeam had a stellar reputation for their Mixmasters, but it doesn't seem like they put much effort into their vacs.

If anyone comes across either a Dual Deluxe motor or images of one, please post.  Except for our vacuums, which were Electrolux, for small appliances my mother was a die-hard Sunbeam fan.  We had a deep fryer, a Mixmaster Junior, a hosed hair dryer, two electric shavers, and an electric toothbrush.  One of their products I always liked, but never owned, was their twin-blade electric mower with a flip-over handle.  A neighbor near us had one, and I can still remember the sound of it.

Dysonman1, I found your post about the 1956 Dual Deluxe and am reading it now.
