I walked away from a charcoal gray one like that at a thrift store a couple of years ago. I was somewhat conflicted about the controls on the hose and the fact that I would have to add another type of bag to my Electrolux ecosystem. I have plenty of C and U bags on hand, but this one took R bags. But the thing was only $10. I don't know why, but Electroluxes are priced dirt cheap at Goodwill stores around here. While I was looking at other things nearby, a lady came and snatched it up. No regrets. I hope it was very satisfactory for her.
