Since when Brother made vacuum cleaners

[hooverman99]

Been strolling around Facebook marketplace and came across this list which looks like a Sharp Twin Energy Bagless but it been rebadge as a brother. Wondering if you know about it or have one.

I might have seen a Brother vacuum on here before, but don't recall. But that is a pretty cool vacuum!

We still have a bunch of those new in the box at my store. We have one out on the floor and I have sold a few of them and serviced a few as well. They’re really not that reliable and they clean ok. They aren’t real loud either. They have a foam pre-motor filter that tends to desegregate and get sucked into the motor. The tab on the back that switches it from floor to tool suction breaks all the time on these. It’s an ok machine for someone who can’t afford much better but I wouldn’t buy one.

I've seen these around very little. @mieles5380leo Would you ship one? I'd be interested to buy one. I've always loved sharp vacuums and one of these seems like something nice for my collection.

I do know a little about the Brother company.

But this looks like a Eureka Whirlwind Big Cup.

Brother also made canister vacuums in Japan in the 1970's. They looked very similar to Sanyo vacs and National/Panasonic vacs of the era.
