Here's my latest addition to my collection. I got this with my Christmas money, along with some other goodies, one of which being a Hoover Windtunnel tape measurer from 1998.
It's a very neat/practical machine, and it's a lot bigger than I originally thought. One of my favorite features is how there's a built in outlet on the cord to plug in a corded power tool (Though I think I'll mainly use it for charging my phone lol).
Didn't need to do much cleaning to it thankfully. Motor sounds fine, though on that note, it sounds like my Grandparents' Oreck Buster B. Oh, and it smells like the inside of a Lowe's/Home Depot (which I love honestly).
I got this less as a collector's piece and more for practicality, and I'm sure it obvious as to what I mean by that. My idea is that I can use this as a "bench vac" for cleaning out other machines. Before this, I've mainly been using my Kirby G7 with misc. attachments. The only problem is that this thing uses a shake-out bag. So, does anybody have ideas of what types of bags I could use with this? I'm thinking Oreck Buster B bags might work if I cut the collar to size, but I'm not sure.
