A rare 70´s Peugeot vacuum made my Regina

[markus79]

Hey!
I found this vacuum last week and it was the first time when I saw this kind of vacuum in Finland. Do you have any info about this little vacuum. I think this must be the french vacuum and somehow it came to Finland.

I just tried to look old Vacuumland´s posts and I noticed that collector2 have a quite nice collection same type vacuums with Regina and Black&Decker brands.

This is vacuum is on quite nice shape, funny think that this is with 3.5 Amps motor because we use watts here in Europe. How much this 3.5A is on watts? Anyway, the suction is great.

It would be nice to get some info about this. I will make a youtube video on it, maybe I can put the Numatic Henry bag on it, this microfiber bag is a little bit tiny on this=) And I think there is something fail in this floor nozzle because the neck is glued.

Best Regards
Markus

Wow! A 220 Volt Regina! Amazing! Like so many other 220Volt American appliances, this may have been made for American diplomatic or military families living in Europe.

Amps times volts = wattage so this is about 770 watts.

I am sure you can find Regina bags on US Ebay. I remember that these vacuums had the word "Cyclonic" on the handle because Regina claimed the off-side hose port would create a cyclone in the bag!

Enjoy your new toy!

Nice vac,looks complete and original.The US had lots of Regina Elecktric broom but few canisters.Yours would have been deluxe with 3 suction buttons,bag signal,and cordwinder.All had 3 atts inside.Some in US had glitter or textured paint.The rug nozzle came from the brooms.Yours would be deluxe.Some offered shag carpet nozzles.The rarest used the base of their upright as a power nozzle.They were often offered in medium size(smaller the Sears,etc) regional catalogs.
