Attachments and hose are avaiable for it. It was introduced in 1984. The introductory price was $249.00 with attachment set for $50.00. The cleaner sold fast and had to be put on preferential sale meaning you paid for it and got your cleaner first come first served. This lasted for almost 4-5 months until the factory could catch up. It weighed 14.5 pounds and was lighter by 9.5 pounds from the earlier upright. It has two motors . One runs the brushroll with automatic shutoff if something gets stuck in the brushroll. Suction motor has temerature shut off if hose at the bottom ihose get clogged to protect motor. First click of switch runs suction motor, second click of switch runs both brushroll and suction motor.
They are a good vacum.
