No way am I giving it back. This one is perfect and complete. Including the optional tool rack and swivel caster for the back of the machine, and the wall rack to store the hose and extension poles.
The optional “papoose” attachment carrier. This one also includes the optional swivel wheel. Yes, that is the correct color of the attachments. Plastic injection molding was in its early stages.
For some reason, the first vacuum cleaners other than airway that used disposable bags, didn’t really call them “bags”. Hoover called them Hygienasacs. Electrolux called them rappers. It makes sense that a self-contained bag that did not sit in a cloth bag, as most machines of the time did, would call the bag a sak.
That machine sounds awesome, and I bet it used a nice sounding Lamb electric motor, probably the one from the early 1950's, still pretty powerful. Lewyt definitely was making great vacuums until they made the zappers.

That machine is a beauty. I know lewyt packed alot of punch. The styling is better than most. The speed sac and the papoose are great names. I do like the vacuum thanks for sharing.
