Terry...
...Yes, the 'Lux has the cord winder...and no problems there. It came with one set of brushes, the shampoo brushes, some shampoo, and a furniture duster for a vacuum! :) I priced the nap-lifters on eBay....$80!!!! Yikes!
My carpet is all closed loop, so it's not like I need them.
I...
And Alan....
...yup, I have to admit, Ben is a nice kitty....I'm rather proud of him, actually. He and Rudy (dog) are my buds! I never thought myself a cat person -- but you know how animals have a way of softening your heart. I love the little guy to pieces.

Today, hubby would have bug-eye indentations upside his head if not up elsewhere if he were to say "It's your lucky day, honey, I got you a...
Still...
...$200 plus shipping for a totaled Bison and a donor machine. At that price, and amount of work, they can keep on being rare, and I'll be content to read about them in history books. (Paperback ones, from the clearance rack -- I'm cheap)
