    Clarke and Powr Flite question

    I have a new "Bisseltaire" 5A vacuum I bought at the Greenville Sew&vac.Sme commercial customers were requesting them.The vacuum has a dump bag-smooth inner surface so dust doesn't cling to it.The vacuum was built in China.It is well made.Just as good as the older Sanitaires.
