Fantom Lightning

VacuumLand – Vintage & Modern Vacuum Enthusiasts

Help Support VacuumLand:

The statement that $500 is outrageous for a Fantom. It's bad enough that Dysons cost too much money and are not made in the UK like they used to be.
 
If you're not picky about completeness and willing to wait for someone to part with a powerhead, I have two canister bodies without powerheads, don't remember if they're Lightning or Destiny branded, I'm pretty sure my dad is using the Lightning canister in his basement since it seems to work well on his berber carpet. They do both have the hose. Iwas gonna sell at a garage sale next week both work. Condition is decent on both. I've already got two others with powerheads in decent shape and have really only been keeping Thunders (& Destiny, Domestic etc) and Wildcats. Just get back to me before Friday of next week.

Hey! I saw a guy that was willing to give you a kenmore destiny plus. Are you interested?? If you are that's great! But if you're not let me know because I may be interested after losing out somewhere else.

Hey all I'm still on vacuumland if anybody has questions. Ill post pictures of my vacuums and talk about each later when I get a camera. No problems just if anybody has a question on a vacuum I have ask me.
 
youtube

It was causing problems, and it was mainly my fault. I was getting into trouble. But, hey, that's history now, and i'm not getting too involved with anything on this site, I will still comment on vacuumland posts, and i'll make posts of my own vacuums eventually too. I was sorry to not be able to talk to people on youtube, but if you get the chance, if someone on youtube asks where I am, tell them i'm fine and can still be seen on vacuumland. Thanks!!!
 
Fantoms for Szymon

Better late than never-My friend fron NJ is here now and will leave in week or 2.So I can finally send a Wildcat & Wildcat & Fantom & more??.He could meet you close to PA Turnpike.Will know more details later.Happy Vacuuming,Jimmy
 
Rugsucker!

For some reason when I tried calling you it just kept ringing and ringing and ringing but interestingly enough I thought Hey, might as well check vacuumland today and here you are! Yes, I'm still very interested in the Fantoms, I will call you later today if that's ok with you!
 
I have a question about mine. Everytime I use it the screen motor filter is always COVERED in dirt when I'm finished. Is this normal or do I have a seal leak someplace?
 
Szymon

Looks like my friend will leave here no later than Sun and could meet you at Nashamanie(?)Mall or convenient place.I can send at least the 2 Wildcats & 12 amp thunder(very nice) & good CMS if interested.Your cost would be some of the gas money to move a V-8 Olds Vista Cruiser across the turnpike.Call new no. or I will look for your no.-Jimmy
 
Szymon

My friend left Saturday 2p.m. Will be close to you later tonight call him on his cell at 609-424-2366 to possibly meet near Exit 351 PA Turnpike or meet later just north of Trenton

He did get your message at that number and will call back.Or you call back.He is on the north side of Trenton and has friends at the eastern edge of PA.Hope you like the vacs.-Jimmy
 
I have a lightning canister that is brand new, but pulled off the floor because we needed the hose, wand and nozzle for a customer's vac.. Are you still looking to barter or buy?
 
I had a Lightning in the past; but the wheels kept falling off. It was my first vac I've bought new since moving out on my own; sadly I gave i to my dad because he needed a vac. I. M. O. I think this Lightning was the best Fantom ever. I also had a Fury, but the cyclone chamber cracked.

Both are still in my dad's possession to this day. :)

I miss the Lightning & any dual-cyclone Fantoms.
 
Email again.

szymonrules: I always mention item and Craigslist ad when emailing Craigslist people. I love Craigslist but its definitely a tool to be careful with!!! Have to trust seller, buyer and merchandise is as stated.

Sometimes it takes 48 hours to hear back.

Lately I've been emailing every yard sale ad on Craigslist after they've had their yard sale to see if there is any merchandise left over such as vacuums that I may have interest in. I get some replies but with sending out over 100 emails, I'm definitely not getting anywhere near that amount of responses back. The emails are quick, I just cut and paste the body into a new message each time. The standard message talks about items like canister power nozzle vacuums that I really want and occasionally I'll add something if their ad happened to mention something else that sounded interesting. I search within about 1.5 hours radius. If I find a Hoover Celebrity IV Elite canister with power head, a Bob-Cat 21" push mower, Eureka Express canister and some other things of high interest, good price and reasonable condition, you better believe I'm like that song: "Hit The Road Jack!"

 
WOW!! That's a nice one too! Looks like it was very well taken care of. The only thing missing is the upholstery tool, but everything else is there, & the upholstery tool could be found on Ebay in time.
