The pic of Doug Smith's gold and chrome Regina is the same vacuum that my mom purchased around 1970-71, used for 1 year and got fed up with it. She then purchased another Filter Queen with power nozzle which is the same brand of vacuum she had before she bought the Regina. The Regina is still at the family cottage in the storage room of the sauna. Gary | ||

The Black and Decker experience I believe falls under the heading of serendipity. Something or someone you are seeking, and without thinking of it, there it is! After years of looking, waiting, and wondering. I'm still waiting after 35 plus years for my dream machine, which isn't a vacuum cleaner, although there are those I still want.

Chad, I agree with you about the Regina. If my mom had her choice she would have never bought it. She had always been happy with her FQ. She just thought something was wrong with it because we had new wall to wall carpet installed and the FQ (no power nozzle) just couldn't pick everything up and of course just using the regular rug nozzle was quite a chore. She thought getting a new vac would eliminate that problem. She had an electrolux salesman demonstrate the '88 model (I think) with power nozzle. I remember it being red and white and the hose did not have the built in wiring. My dad said there was no way he was paying $275 for a vacuum so that's why my mom ended up with the $100 Regina. She hated it right from the beginning. Then after a year or so, my dad was off on a hunting trip so my mom went out and bought another FQ but with the power nozzle. Gary | ||
