Anyone else surprised by a found vac that becomes a favorite?

Eureka Altima. The amount of crap this vacuum finds in the carpet is baffling. The cone is obnoxious to clean off and it makes a mess, but the cleaning ability more than makes up for it. Tons and tons of sandy gritty dirt.

That Viking was very popular in Finland called Electrolux D720.
Powerhead and hose was different.
In this video ph motor doesn't sound very healthy (I had that powerhead with my Lux Royal D790). Vacuum and ph are very quiet when working right.

@mike811 Thanks for sharing that's an interesting machine!

Ugh

While this comment doesn’t keep in line with the topic of the thread...I just find the mess from that Eureka Altima photo revolting! I’d throw that thing away and get a vac with a self sealing bag! What a mess! While the vac may do a good job picking up the dirt, now one has to deal with the dirt all over again in a different form!

I love kirby vacuums. I bought a c9 a couple years ago suggested by antoine. I use it all the time. I use a wessell werk power nozzle and it's amazing. It's not a vacuum you can polish up. It's a vacuum that flat out cleans better than any other vacuum.i love it and it's still my daily driver.
