Here's an unusual electric powered sweeper from the late 70s that I remember seeing in mail order catalogues for several years, though until now, I had never seen one in real life.
The first Argos catalogue I can find this electric sweeper is dates from Spring 1978 and shared the floor care pages with the Electrolux 502 and 170, plus the Hoover Starlight, Ranger Senior and Constellation. Priced at £16.95 compared to £49.95 for the Hoover Junior, this electric sweeper was intended to replace a manual carpet sweeper, rather than as a replacement for a vacuum cleaner.
This lightweight sweeper performed far better than I expected with its quiet motor and wooden brush roll.
