Sears catalogs

[fan-of-fans]

I have some Sears and JcPenney catalogs with vacs to post. I will add them to this thread as I get them scanned. Is that okay?

Here is a 1991-92 Sears:

One of my neighbors had a Kirby and the #4 on this page. I had one like #6 that I found, but it was jade green and missing everything except the hose.

Sorry this page seems to have been cut out:

And this as well:

Notice there are only two plastic Hoover uprights in the catalog. And probably the last time the Convertible appears.

I always thought that little white Kenmore canister was neat. I have never seen one.

I always thought the #7 handvac was cool. I found one in a thrift store, in the box with a packet of Capture cleaning powder about 10 years after, but didn't buy it.

I thought the Kenmore Heavy Duty and Cleanmore were so cool, they were my favorites, but I never recall seeing any.

Here's some pages from a Sears Home Center catalog, I think 1997 or so. I'm uploading these next pages directly to the forum for ease. I hope that's alright.

Thats cool to see all that! Back when that catalog was published I was so into Wards and Penney's that I hardly ever looked at Sears. But now I wish that I had.

I enjoy looking at catalogs.

The little blue suction-only canister vac was made by Sanyo - Sanyo always made great suction-only canister vacs that were both powerful and extremely quiet. The little $50 white canister vacs a few pages back (product #9 on the seventh page) was also made by Sanyo - at some point Sears called it the "Let's Clean" vac! Some versions of that older white canister had an electrified hose with a power switch on the handle.

My only problem with many of the Sanyo canister vacs from that era is that they were bagless and emptying the dirt cassettes was always a messy task. As well, the hoses were often very short (only 5 feet).

Sears Kenmore vacs were made by many manufacturers besides their prime supplier Whirlpool (later Matshushita/Panasonic). The other suppliers were Sanyo, Regina, Ryobi, LG, Sweden's Electrolux and its Eureka subsidiary.
