Hey everyone! Today, I thought I’d share this awesome gift I received from my friend Phillip. This is an amazing early Powr-Flite Lite from 1987. It needed a little sprucing up, but it really came out beautifully. I hope you all enjoy the video and please don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe!

Powr Flites are pretty cool machines and they do really well on floors. The Twin Fan variants like this one do come up every once in a while, so keep your eyes peeled for them and I’m sure you’ll find one :)

Recently found your channel and enjoy the material, old custodian here. Spent 33 years in the field starting in the early 80's. I used many different models and sizes. I think I used one of these. You did not show the bottom. Do I remember correctly, did this have center motor with a shaft on both sides that drove the two impeller fans? And boy, do I remember the old shake out bags. Ugh!. Most custodians would give the bag a shake or two and call it good. They did not realize just how plugged with dirt the transition space at the collar to the bag could get. Sometimes it would take a screwdriver to bust it open.

Oh wow! That’s cool! Yep this design is a twin fan, so 2 impellers, one on each side of the motor with one side of the armature being longer to drive the belt on the left side

I got that one from Shane and then you got it from Phillip. I recognize the bag because Shane put that replacement bag on it.

Thanks for this video Karl! I have always wondered if the twin-fan concept ever resulted in greater dirt pick- up than standard single fan “fan-first” uprights. From my decades of reading Consumer Reports vacuum tests, I have never seen a Singer Twin-Fan upright (or clone) at the top of the ratings. Or even near the top of the ratings….when compared to a Kirby or a Eureka or a Hoover “fan-first” upright.

Oh interesting! Yah the Twin Fans were okay home cleaners, but they definitely didn’t hold a candle to Eureka or Kirby. I guess that’s why we rarely see commercial versions of Singers and Kenmores (aside from the “Heavy Duty” variants). Thank you for watching!

Yes, do the Kirby commercial review. Knowing Kirby however, the differences between commercial and domestic will be the color of a decal or something?
@Konstellation_Karl_55
@Konstellation_Karl_55 15 дней назад
Oh they’re quite a bit diff looking than domestic models. Most commercial Kirbys were painted rather than polished aluminum and had elongated front nozzles. I have filmed a couple with my friend Jared down in Oregon in my Visit to Jared’s videos if you want to see a couple of them. Thank you for watching! :)
