I'M BACK! (with pictures!)

[icee]

I am finally, finally, finally back! I will spare everyone any reasons or excuses of why I havn't posted in like 10,000 yeahs, but here I am, and boy howdy have I gotten alot to show you! Today is my latest find, a Singer SB14850. Found it at a Attic Window thrift store. I had actually been eyeing this one for a while, finally jumped on it. Just needed a bag, belt, and bulb (bulb I still need to replace). I like the look of it, simple but appealing! No bad noises or overheating, glad to have it. I really like the color too, you don't really see that color anymore. But as I said earlier, I have a ton more to post, I have over 40 sweepers in my collection, not including my evee growing hand vac collection to! Hope you all enjoy

Actually...

Is it true these machines were more or less bissells of the same era?

 

[fan-of-fans]

Yes, as Bissell bought Singer's floor care division in 1996, and started selling these vacuums under their own name.

Fan

That's what I was thinking, because if you search up bags and belts for it, it keeps pulling up bissell stuff.

I had a neighbor who had one of these with the Bissell name of it with a soft bag and she broke the handle top off. I had a red Singer hard body version of this with a bad motor. We did a motor swap and she loved the new hard body and of course it still cleaned the same way.
So, to answer your question yes these were Singer and Bissell.

Opinions on it?

I like it's sound, and the shape of the head is appealing. It actually does a nice job, not like anything crazy good but appreciably well and grooms decently
