I had a red hard-bag Commander and scrapped it because the cable winder had bust off plus a few other plastic bits like the bottom plate had broken. With hindsight I would have kept it!
I've also had the grey softbag type - sold one of those about ten years ago for £45 in the shop, albeit with a new fan fitted.
I've got a yellow Spinney upright that wants getting going but unfortunately, the original yellow bag rotted on it.
I also had a light blue Moulinex soft-bag upright but sold that ages ago for about £20. I think that there was also a light brown model with a chocolate coloured bag

WOW
Im seeing a few rebages here...
Paul,your Rowenta looks like an american Oreck Dutch Tec,(Phillips in Edgar land lol)
The Goblins at the bottom of the catalog page, were Mighty-Mini by Shop-vac but ours had bags, Also the Goblin upright look like a Panasonic decendant to me. =)

Oh wow you're right - it IS a dutch tech. Although I think the Rowenta is considerably older. Another case of Mr. Oreck using someone elses design me thinks.
I really don't think that Goblin and Panasonic US are related tbh. Goblin are a british company, and as far as I am aware, Panasonic always had a fairly good reputation in the states. Goblin were quite well known for being more of a budget brand in the UK and not particularly reliable. The commander upright pictured above (and also available in a hard bag model) was pretty much designed for rivalry with the Hoover Turbopower, as this became Britain's best selling vacuum in the 1980's. They were a little behind the times though. By the time the Commander uprights came out in the late 80's, Vacuums with on-board tools were becoming increasingly more popular and it wasn't long before Goblin replaced the Commander with the Laser (which seemed to be absolutely everywhere when I was a kid, but you don't see many of them anymore)
