It has been waaaay too long since I last posted here, hasn’t it? I’ve had some exciting new changes in my life which have been taking up my time, but I’m back.
Anyways, today I was again bestowed good luck when I discovered this NSS M-1 “Pig” for $100 on Craigslist. These sell new for $2000ish, so I certainly don’t feel ripped off. I mean, how likely am I to come across another one of these, anyways? These are as niche as vacuums come; Pigs are janitorial units aimed for essentially detailing the edges and rafters of buildings, and at a steep price, too. The gentleman from whom I bought it said he got it from a liquidator’s auction, which makes sense. This pig probably broke it’s original owner’s piggy bank.
Honestly, it’s absurd. Until today, I thought that Royal vacuums were tough. I’m sure that with it’s personal-pan-pizza-for-an-impeller, it could max out all of y’all’s anemometers, too.
In all seriousness, this is a great and very unique vacuum. I feel fortunate that it is a recent model M-1 and in such superb condition. Not a trace of bearing noise and no wear on the bag. The only issue is that it is missing the wands and attachments. Since the NSS kits are expensive, I will likely source a universal set.
I anticipate having some time in the coming weeks to wipe the dust off it, and when I do, I’ll return to this thread with some better pictures. In the meantime, enjoy these.
