Actually ... … what *I* think is "showing off" is bragging about how you procured a rare vacuum for "nothing". Much as we wish we did, some of us simply do not have the time or the flexibility to devote to the "hunt" that some of you apparently do. Nor do we have the space or resources (or...

How do you guys ... ... who use vacs like these as daily drivers, deal with the dust issue of the shake-out bags? Meaning, the increased dust output while vacuuming (those things aren't HEPA filters, after all). And how do you keep the bags from getting smelly? Very curious here.

Even if it was just $60 ... ... in 1974, that would still be $275.52 in today's dollars.

"Only $80"?? In 1974 (which is presumably the year of manufacture for this model), $80, adjusted for inflation, would be $367 today.

If she's looking for "rugged" ... "I know when handling an upright Vacuum mum will treat it like the old 1960's Hoover Senior we had when I was a kid, i.e. it might have to be rugged !" She may be disappointed with just about anything in that price range, unfortunately.

Benny ... "...despite all the UK comedy shows which have been enjoyed by those in the USA, few seem able to visualise just how small the rooms in many UK homes are." Same here for New York City-based shows. "Friends", "Seinfeld", and "Mad About You" immediately come to mind. Now, back in the...

Dan ... "But it still is a good old Electrolux to me..." Same here. :)

Chris ... ... are you saying the Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum is not available in the UK??

If you have a pet ... … don't even consider a vac that doesn't include its own ELECTRIC powered upholstery brush. The "air turbine" brushes are a joke.

Spotted this on eBay. A bit pricey, but how rare is it to find one of these NEVER USED?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-HOOVER-CONVERTIBLE-VACUUM-CLEANER-NEW-/181293863174?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a35f4d106

The big drawback of the Sebos ... … is their lack of a headlight.

Too bad ... ... there's no headlight on that Sanitaire.

LOL ... ... I keep forgetting how old I really am, hearing about how some of us "grew up" with Fantoms!

I just got ... ... an Aerus Lux Guardian Platinum. LOVE it. One of the best on the market for allergy sufferers.

My childhood vac ... This isn't my pic, but the upright on the left was the exact model as Mom's. Right down to the *milk* chocolate-colored vinyl bag, as opposed to the dark chocolate colored vinyl bag that came on some models that year (1967-68 I believe), and the dark chocolate heavy rubber...

My two cents ... … and I'm not claiming personal experience as either a consumer or a "servicer" of metal fans, but I can tell you that not all metal is created equal. Just because it's "metal" doesn't mean it's stronger than plastic. I've had several duffel/gym bags with shoulder straps made...

And ... "P.S. Forget about public transport over here. Outside the major cities it effectively does not exist." Ditto here in the U.S.

I have absolutely no idea ... … what that guy just said.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! And there was something about the feel of that cool, satiny finish on the metal attachments!

I wouldn't have believed it ... ... if I didn't see it for myself. I'd been using my Fantom Thunder since Day One with my new wool rugs (which I purchased 7 years ago). The one rug is vivid orange and red, so it was really apparent seeing the carpet fibers in the Fantom's dust bin. I knew...
