I do enjoy running mine around the house every now and again ---- but it's a pretty wimpy performer by any standard, especially the Electroluxes that came after it. The next model, the first Model 30, has probably twice as much suction.Furthermore, given its age, any Model XII you find would be a rarity these days. Given its relative scarcity, would you really want to use such a rare machine on a day to day basis and risk ruining it?All in all, I really can't imagine why anyone would want one for their everyday machine.</blockquote>
