Anyone tell me about Pow-r-vac Vacuum's?

[crysinsd]

I purchased a Pow-r-Vac vacuum that is model 2010. It a green metal can style on wheels that look like something from a radio flyer. It works great and is 5.2 amps. If you know anything about these vacuums or can direct me to someone that can appraise it I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Well ...

I can't tell you a heck of a lot about them, except that they were made by a company in Atlantic, Iowa called Walton Products Inc. The company most likely is out of business now, as I couldn't find any information about them or a successor to them on Dogpile. The cleaners were made with motors produced by the Singer Company, and if I recall correctly they came out on the market sometime in the late '60s or early '70s.

Hope that this information helps a little bit!

Hi there,

Thank you for the reply. I don't know if this helps but the vacuum says it is made by central quality industries inc.

Hmmmm ...

I wonder if that company took over making Pow-R-Vacs after Walton went out, then?
