Logan, Thank you for showing us the difference between the 1205 and the SJ. For us Canadians, we have rather limited access to these machines, other than purchasing through ebay. Vernon

Forgot to add in my previous post, when I contacted Hoover regarding the hole in the lid, I also questioned them on suction (lift), airflow, and airwatts. They could not provide these specs either. Vernon

I tried one a little over a year ago and returned it! I was rather impressed with the suction/airflow, and thought it was a rather neat looking piece of nostalgia. But, a few shortcomings: plastic bottom plate instead of being metal, anything within a three to five foot radius on the floor...
