This was a BOL cleaner
The whole scale of this cleaner is small, with short hose and wands.
By 1960 Pheonix were in their death throes - they lasted (I think) until about 1962. For years and years it seemed than Pheonix produced two cannister cleaners, both with the same motor although one cleaner was larger than the other. The nozzles were of the most basic being of a similar deaign to the earliest electroluxes - no swivel, no tread catcher, nothing. In the 1950s they produced a copy of the Universal bullet shaped machine, but still the same crappy tools.
Perhaps in a last ditch attempt to survive, towards the end they produced a whole range of machines - all still quite cheap but it was not enough to save them. They were also amongst the first to manufacture machines for private labels such as Gamages and many other department stores

And finally some TOL
Electrolux 380 - early/mid 1980s. This one has not had any clean up done yet - it can from the same place as the Hoover 419s

Other side
This would have been up against TOL Hoover Sensortronics. No power nozzle here, but sold with turbine head as standard

"Harlequin"
At last, confirmation of the "Harlequin Series"!
Years ago, I got documentation possibly from Zanussi, about machines that they had in their appliance museum. They made mention of a model of cylinder Hoover that existed until it was replaced by the "Harlequin series". I always wondered which models they were... it was never mentioned anywhere else.
So now I know. What would we do without you?
Cheers!!!
