What really are stick vacuums?

If it was blue, I wonder if that was part of the late 77 to early 79 line-up.  I can see them having diff. speeds.  The one with pn was probably the TOL compared to a single speed straight suction =BOL, and a 4 speed straight suction =MOL.

I know the bag can be completely removed from a Hoover Quick broom without remiving any wires, I had one at one point and I know it came off over the handle and then I had to feed the cord through the bag. But as far as I remember it is doable. Mine was a 2 speed 3.5 amp, and I could never figure out why it was so loud and vibrated pretty badly- I eventually did when the fan came off the motor shaft while it was running. I didn't fix it and eventually it was junked, but it did work fairly well while I had it.

Greg,

It sure is a rebranded Regina.

In fact, this one is about a 1983 model since the floor nozzle lacks the provisions to manually adjust the height of it.

Rebranded Regina brooms

I think this happened somewhere in the early part of the 1970's say 1973. I have several of these Sears brooms which were actually called Kwik Sweeps. Most of the time they were just a Regina broom with a different front sticker. In 1978 they actually removed the motor housing plastic covers and affixed a front sticker to them in order to make them a bit more different. During the 1980's they were mostly identical to what Regina was offering but with a different sticker and bag pattern. Also of note Sears supplied a longer power cord up until 1981 than Regina or 18' versus 15' and for a while Sears offered a powerteam version which is rarer than hens teeth.

I need to do a thread on these Sears Kwik Sweeps and other rebranded brooms soon including a super rare Penny's Penncrest version

Thank-you Joel/Electricbroom

I can't remember where I spotted this Powerteam, but some lucky person has it. I remember seeing these in the Sears catalog in the early 80s as they piqued my interest.

Sears/ Kenmore Electrikbrooms (Regina's)

I am not sure to what is the story behind how about Regina/Sears/Iona Electrikbrooms came about here in Canada. If anyone knows any info on that please add it to the thread with any pics of anyone who has any Electrikbrooms. Since we are talking about Sears/Kenmore I though I would show my collection of Electrikbrooms for anyone who is interested.

They all come from various provinces namely Quebec and Ontario, nothing at all in my province and they are all finds on Kijiji. I had to have them shipped. I also have in my collection and Iona Speedvac (Electrikbrush) In light grey and green bag, Iona 3 speed in light grey and grey/red bag, Iona 3 speed in dark grey and dark grey/blue bag, Regina Powerteam in cream with light lavender bag with the Chucky handle.

Let me know what you think.
