Vacuum Exposition Episode 57: The 1975 Bison Mark II 

I just love how it manages to be incredibly ugly AND incredibly beautiful at exactly the same time!

What an incredible looking machine!

That’s a cool machine I don’t think I’ve ever seen in use. It sounds like a tornado siren winding up when you turn it on.

Love the sound of the Start Up/Shutdown.

Wish we had had these in the UK They are such cool looking machines, congrats on having one in such good condition

what a great vacuum

Very cool backstory of the Bison MI & demo - especially the buffing wheelI & it's so awesome that you'd wanted one since your childhood & finally got one - congrats! I like how your sweatshirt matches it, too. :) It's interesting that Bison selected a similar avocado green color to the Kirby DS80. There is a scanned1968 Bison users manual available for purchase at Automatic Ephemera in case you're interested. It may feature the Mark I. Thanks, Karl, for an informative green vac vid - tis kind of ya, lad!

I only have one kirby - a tradition model and i love it - it does remind me of my kirby so very much here in the UK 🇬🇧

WOW! One of the most exciting vacuums what I have ever seen. I wish quality control were better. Absolutely a gem. I have Kirby Tradition and G6.

A vac I've been chasing for a long time is an American Lincoln Super Sweep. I wish I could find one

Pretty machine

Yes bison used a general electric motor that's why it's so high speed but the bad thing is that kirby did sue bison because one of the workers that used to work at kirby made bison a little identical to kirby so the kc sued them and they went out of business and I also think royal the maker of dd did go in competition with the kirby company

Does your headlight lense go all the way down?

Nice, I also have one.

Do you have a Regina steemer?
