I adore this machine! The Housekeeper is a pretty well designed despite mediocre build quality. Although these had great marketing, they also had a meaningless warranty and many returns to the big box stores they were purchased from and the Regina company itself was run by greedy executives who were at one point arrested for multiple counts of fraud. By far one of my favorite vacuums!

After the German Sebo company, who made the commercial Windsor uprights for the USA, Bissell was the first American company to offer an onboard hose, wands and tools for on an upright vacuum cleaner for household use. The Bissell Housekeeper was probably the trigger that resulted in Panasonic adding an onboard hose and wands and tools to their bag-first bypass uprights.

I’m definitely interested! I would love to work out details resulting in me buying your Housekeeper.
eurekaprince- I’d love to know more about the Bissell you’re describing! I knew of Sebo engineering the first onboard hoses and tools but I always thought that it was Regina that marketed and sold a residential upright with an onboard hose and tools first for the US market. | ||

Ooops!!!! Sorry!!!! I must have been half asleep when I wrote Bissell instead of Regina!!! Sorry about that!!!
Indeed, after Sebo, Regina was the first company to offer an onboard hose with wands and tools on a bag-first bypass upright. It was the Regina Housekeeper that triggered Panasonic and everyone else to do the same thing. | ||

According to the literature, I have Regina didn’t charge customers for clogs or belts. So I think at one point they were at least trying to make it right.
