speaking of

old Kenmore uprights, I love my Automatic. It has a really freakin' cool startup sound. (click the link to see it on action!)

A lot of motors from that time made those cool start-up sounds! I wonder how automatic that Kenmore really is?

The word "automatic" with regards to a Kenmore upright built by Bertmin electric, referred to the six wheel set up which automatically adjusted for any carpet or bare floor. I do not believe any other upright ever used six wheels other than Birtman built Kenmore's.

Interesting to know, Tom! Guess that Kenmore is more automatic than I thought!

RCA Whirlpool

I am letting a blue RCA Whirlpool go on EBay.Some of the pictures may add to already great info above.
There were 3 RCA WP vacs(all available with power nozzle)-
Green-with cord on outside of hose and cord stored with tools.
Blue-Added true,quality electric hose and cord wrap on bottom.
Brown-Mid 60s.New trim,bag signal and L shaped power nozzle with rubber cover.
(Some features shared with Sears.)
Post RCA-Was part of Oreck getting the soon to be famous WP light upright.Was restyled(or maybe UNstyled as it kept its function but lost its beauty)and called the Celoc.
