Thanks for posting these, Kyle. Your Bissell Power-Vac reminds me of my Multi-Vac.

I remember seeing one of those last summer at the Salvation Army thrift store last summer/fall although iirc it only had a regular floor nozzle on it, no power nozzle, and being kind of ugly condition I left it there.

Mine has the regular floor tool, and all of the attatchments, hose and I think a wand. It's like brand new and all the papers too.

Kyle, thanks for that blast from the past pic of the brooms. The Bissell dual power broom is an exceedingly rare find. I have only seen a few when they were new on the showroom floor at local discount stores in the 70's when I was very young. Those Regina brooms are noteworthy too. The second one in (D)was the very first Electrikbrush powerteam Regina and the blue one (C) was a very limited run special heavy duty 2.9 Amp Power Plus broom with the extra burst of power switch located on the front of the handle. I have never found one of those very first powerteam Electrikbrooms in all my travels to date but I do have a power plus Regina broom that used to belong to my grandma (pic below). Wish I had a Bissell dual power to also post but maybe luck will bring me one of those someday.

Bissell broom

was out in the late 70's one of three available if I remember right.
Regina was first with their P/N broom, and Hoover and Bissell followed. The Hoover one was kind of a joke, it was supposed to be lightweight, yet in reality it weighed as much as a Convertible did, and was not nearly as maneuverable!
The Bissell version was also made for JC Penney in a curry/mustard yellow color.
Nice find!

hey there,
I used to have a bissell dyna-clean powerfoot. It had a wide body with the same head. The colors were light beige and orange. They had two of these models but I forget both of the numbers. I gave it to my friend Rick Asquith, so he will have to get you a picture.

And I understand that Jason Huber has the same one in your picture.

I found this machine at the local Hospice store for $8.00! It's fun to use; with a very interesting bag set up.Several bags will fit it after a few snips with some scissors. I put an Oreck paper bag in it for now, but will eventually put a hepa one in , probably a Hoover Z bag. It does a great job of grooming the carpet.

We had one of those, albeit without the power nozzle, when I was a kid. It was called a Sweep Master. It was very well built, but I remember being able to handle it easily as a five-year-old. Over the years, it made the rounds of the family over the years. Mom passed it to my grandmother for her apartment, then my sister ended up with it, eventually taking it up to her mountain house. No idea where it is now.
