JC Penney "2 Two Motor Upright Vacuum"

Gary, what small world as they say. Solomon is just east of here about 17 miles. Thanks for posting such great shots! That's such a clever lil vac. That's a nice one to have in your collection.

It won't be going into my collection; maybe someone else's. It's not what I'm particularly interested in. Someone who pines for private-branded equipment likely will get it eventually. I've had a number of JCP and Monkey Ward items that have been re-homed to such collectors.

Looks like that vac took after Regina, not Bissell. Highly reminds me of the Regina Powerteam which had a similar brush setup, where it had a detachable motorized brush. The head comes off for attachments, as it did with the powerteam. At least I believe the Regina was first to do this. I'll bet that thing makes a lot of noise with less than adequate suction. But it does look more powerful and better built than the Reginas.

It came with a Bissell 5890 bag in it, the bag collar of which is pretty specific to the machine in terms of how it fits to the bag dock.

That is a pretty good little power head. I believe this power head was the very first used on the first household Thermax

That is an interesting wee thing!

I have never seen a vacuum with an "extra belt storage" facility before, interesting indeed.

My Oreck XL 21...

has that same belt storage recess feature as well, in the same place too...

 

[dysondestijl]

Yes, most if not all orecks have belt storage on them!

A great many Kenmore uprights from mid-'90's to early 2000's have a spare belt storage area behind the lamp in the floor nozzle. These are the ones with the easily removed cover on the nozzle area.
