Also... I have some other Fantoms if you are interested in those as well, just let me know in the email response and Ill let you know what I have.

Hey! Im not very active on this site anymore, but I sent you an email. I have a working Wildcat that I am willing to get rid of! Thanks, Nick

I don't check eBay for vacs that often anymore since I'm in college and don't have room in my apartment for more than 1, but I found this on eBay. I have a Wildcat at my parents house still in there garage, but I figured somebody might be interested in seeing this. Nick...

Great Find! I too always was interested in these when I saw them. I was young at the time and didn't know how rare they would become, but that is definitely a machine I would pick up if I saw it in the wild. Enjoy it! Nick

Maybe this belongs in the Super Market forum, but I wanted to share this with everybody because a lot of people like Fantoms. I found this on eBay and think that this is one of the first NOS Fantoms that I've ever seen. Price is a little steep for me personally, but it's just something cool that...

I really like the older Dirt Devils, mainly because I grew up with those because they were cheaper vacuums to buy and we couldn't afford the more expensive ones back then. I really like when I see an older one at a thrift store because it brings me back to when I was young. I think that its...

Thanks for the replies everyone! I probably will end up getting a new brush roller and filters, but I don't want to put more money into this vacuum than its worth. I think its great for my 2 bedroom apartment, and I don't want to put much wear on the Fury.

I want to add, I'm not trying to bash Dyson in any way, I am just sharing my experience with this vacuum and am looking for some other opinions on it.

Hey all, I want to start out by saying I really don't know much about Dyson uprights ever since the DC07, that was the first and only Dyson upright that I've ever owned. I do have a V6 and V7, but I only used those for quick pickups and I think they work great for that. Anyway, I just moved down...

Fantom Wildcat? I know a lot of people have never seen or used a Wildcat before, but they are hilariously cheaply made. The handle breaking off was a common design flaw in these machines and the brushroll was very small and had a narrow opening. Finding one of these machines is very difficult...

Also... Check out patents filed for Iona Appliances, I'll include a link to those as well. http://https//patents.google.com/?assignee=iona+appliances&oq=iona+appliances

Patents This link will take you to all of the patents that Google has assigned to Fantom Technologies, there are a lot of them and it is cool to even see some of the things that they had patents for that aren't vacuums. I scrolled through them for a while and really enjoyed seeing all of them...

Not sure if this has been posted here before, but I don't recall seeing it on here so I figured I would post it. Looks like Fantom had a patent for a cyclonic backpack vacuum, which looks a lot like the main body of a Thunder minus the handle and the base. Would've loved to see this exist as...

I am in search of the wand and floor head for a Dyson V7 handheld vacuum. I would assume that the V8 wand and floor head would also work as they use the same quick release attachments. Will pay via PayPal directly or eBay whatever is best. Thanks, Nick

FantomVacuumFan Is the instruction booklet that I sent a link to similar to how the XT lookalike is with the filter? It did say that the Fury version's filter was washable and it does look pretty similar in the photo of your filter.
