So, I am blessed to have this wonderful friend of mine, his name is Kyle, who I have known for over 5 years. He is one of my non collector friends who actually knows I collect vacuums, and while he doesn't collect them, he finds it cool, and actually asks me questions, like what makes them collectable, what makes them rare etc. Well, he knows I LOVE Fantoms, and he was at a flee market and saw what he thought was a Fantom, but he looked at it closer, and saw it said Kenmore on it, so he left without it. We talked later that night and he asked me about it and I told him Fantom made them for Kenmore and gave him a little information on it. Well that was a week ago. Today, he went back to the flee market to see if it was still there, and sure enough it was, so he bought it and sent a pic of it to my phone with the caption Merry Early Christmas! I have obviously not had a chance to see it yet, he lives about 2 hours from me, and I am not sure how soon I will get my hands on it, he is planning on coming down to visit when he has the money for gas, and he will bring it then, but I am so excited. I have attached the pic of it he sent me. :) Needs a cleanup, but I do that anyway. Funny side note, he has never used a Fantom or Kenmore Destiny, so he decided to give it a spin around his bedroom, to make sure it worked, and he texted me and was like Oh my god, this thing is amazing! Haha

Michael, You and your Fantoms :P
That is an awesome vac and awesome friend! Enjoy the new Kenmore/Fantom :D What is the brushbar like? I heard those machines are quite good
Thanks
 
Not sure...

What year its from, gotta wait and see, but my guess is 1997 roughly, since its a 12 amp, but still the old Kenmore Destiny Plus logo, and the older color scheme. And the brush bar on it is just like the Fantom Thunder brushroll, a very nice cheveron style brushroll, if I remember right, very effective!
