Vac folks: What's better than a Regina ?

[petek]

Two of course. I'm glad I went back for a 2nd look see round the thrift store because these were tucked away in a corner. The Electrik Brush needs a new belt in the powerhead and boy are they noisy beasts, colorful though. I haven't cleaned them up yet.

Great finds Pete, my mom had the Regina with the power head and it really did a pretty good job. I was always amazed when I would empty the dirt cup to see how much it had picked up. I think you will enjoy using it, and yes I agree they were noisy! Terry

I have been looking for the Regina with the Power Head for a long time. They do clean very well for low knap rugs. The Elderly housing here used to advice their tennants to purchase those vacs because they were light weight, easy to use and took up little space in the storage closet they provided in the apartments. If you ever come across another keep me in mind..

Love those

Growing up, my mom always had an "electric broom" as she called them, for quick clean ups. I believe they were all Reginas. The longest lasting one was brown with a two color brown/tan bag. I remember a dial on it, and I remember that the top of the bag/canister had a spring on it and you could "squoosh" it down a little. I remember it noisy too, but working rather well.

Great machines. The one with the power head is a rare find- I never see them anymore, at least in one piece. Make sure you remove the fan cover and inspect the fan. The small plastic blades are(were) very delicate and would break all the time. One broken blade and the thing makes three times the normal amount of racket. It also destroys the bushing fast. Happy Vacuuming!
