A new vacuum joins the collection! I just picked this up on Saturday when Goodwill had their half-off sale. I had not been to Goodwill for about 6 months prior to this and I was shocked that the vacuums were so cheap now. They had them all at $9.99, before they were all at about $19.99 to $25.99.
So this one was $9.99 and with the 50% off discount it came out to $5.34! I did not plug it in in the store or yet since bringing it home, so not sure how it sounds but that doesn't bother me as it will be getting a ground up restoration (hopefully by this summer) anyway. I have to keep it in the basement as it somehow still reeks of cigarettes even though it was sitting in Goodwill. It must have been fresh out of someone's car or house and put on the floor right after the drive-thru donation.
I can not find much information on this model other than a newspaper ad, as well as there is very little photos or videos about it. It seems like most collectors have either not bothered with collecting this model, or it might be a rare model. Shockingly I only have 2 bagged Dirt Devil uprights, including this one. I have another plain jane Swivel Glide I got last fall for $40 shipped on eBay. The other Dirt Devils I have are just hand vacs and modern day bagless models. My area just doesn't have any older Dirt Devil uprights show up for whatever reason.
