@suckolux

Singer and kenmore partnerd up to make this unit


thanks for the comment

 

[suckolux]

It did rather sound like a Singer, makes sense.

Real nice

I missed out on one a couple of years ago sitting at the junktorium near here. Snooze you lose scenario. Stupid me should have just taken it right away instead I left it figuring I'd come back another day and get it.. Who'd have thunk someone else would have bought it

 

[suckolux]

Junktorium? Nice.

 

[suckolux]

Can someone and I am sure there are many here tell me what the twin fan means? Are there two fans, or two stage fan? Have never had one apart, so idiot time here. d.

 

[animebsd]

@suckolux

hey! yes it litterally has 2 fans! not a 2 stage fan but 2 fans on either side of the machine

 

[suckolux]

Sweet, that has to work well.Great airflow I would think.

Tony "Macelli" Danza had one of those in the sitcom "Who's the Boss" of the 80s -early 90s. There are several episodes of that show with him using it. I think even in the opening credits,,he is trying to vacuum the drapes with the whole vacuum.

Love it....

Brandon, your right about the towing capacity lol. One that i had the hadle would stick sometimes and when I was vacuuming one day I had let go and it went flying into our new kitchen cabinets. Is yours jerky. I had 2 at different times and they were both jerkey. But the older one was more so.

Brian, you are correct. The early opening credits he was vacuuming the drapes with a green bag MOL non self prop.And about season 3 he upgraded to the self prop.=)
I do miss those Knemore's.
Now they have TTI and Bissell doing some/most of thier vacs now. Goodbye Sears.
Enjoy,Kenny

P.S.

I just watched. That is an early model id guess 83-84. And its good you have the right bag. Like you said alot of people use the F&G bags but that style with the tube at the top like yours they dont last long. If in a pinch you need a bag Id go with a Hoover type C it works much better for that model.

Excellent job on the vid Brandon! The machines while badged Singer and Kenmore, were actually produced by a company called Ryobi, which now I believe only make power tools. I'd really like to know the history myself on the Ryobi-Singer relationship, as I'm pretty sure Singer made their machines when they were metal based. If anyone can help with this history it would be appreciated. Hey Marty R! I bet you know...

Wow, not one mention of the vacuum products...oh well.

Rick,

Found a Ryobi web-page that does mention vacs! It's under "power tools".....
