I would really like to know about this vacuum. I have done a little research and came up blank. I will attach photos because I don't know what it's called other than a bisselle vacuum sweeper.
It's a Bissell carpet sweeper, made in Grand Rapids, MI. Not a vacuum cleaner per se. Here is a manual for one I just scanned for you. Not the exact same model, but you'll get the general idea.[this post was last edited: 1/15/2016-23:27]
Its actually a pneumatic sweeper. It's got carpet sweeper parts but the rear wheels drive a set of bellows to create a weak suction through that narrow nozzle in the front. Very early example of a pre electric cleaner.
