Found this at Goodwill today, still in the box, it had never been put together. I took the base out of the box along with the cord to check it, for $7 I couldn't pass it up. Got home and assembled it. The box has a date of 1994 and a price of $139.99
I'm not a Bravo fan, but anything NIB is a find, especially at the price you paid! It probably would have sold for 20 times more on ebay. I wouldn't use it much, keeping this delicate machine as close to new as long as possible.
My boss from a job I worked in high school had one of these. The suction for floor was great. The attachment suction didn't seem all that great. And yes it was loud.
