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.
