manuals
I have a Fantom Lightning which has sat in the attic since 2001. Cleaned up and working fine. Anyone know where I can get a user manual for it?

i can't help you, Sue,
But I would like to add that Dyson calling Fantom 'ugly' and 'inefficient' is pure irony! Look today at the absurd designs Dyson sells today, I didn't know that was 'beautiful'! To trample over Fantom and pave his way into America is the real greed. If other vacuums make revenue off the wonderful disposable bag, why should Fantom not have the right to acquire revenue with Filters? It's simple business. What if the MEMA filters were all a plan to make Fantom fail, leaving the door open for Dyson? It makes you wonder!

There is no conspiracy... Dyson simply did not choose to renew his license agreement with IONA when it expired. Had they continued to update the machines as per their licensing agreement, things may have been much different and they very well could still be in business and Dyson would be sold as Fantom in the US and Canada.

The designs didn't really need "updating". The Thunder and it's various amperage and Kenmore variants is still a fine performer. If EuroPro decided to rerelease the Thunder tomorrow (since I'm sure the patents have since expired), it would easily be amongst the best bagless cyclonic uprights available.

No Mention Made
of the Fantom bagged canister FM709K. I have one, found it on the side of the road, but it works, and I bought new bags/filters for it.
I wonder if some day it might be a collectors item?
Maybe I should stop using it to keep it in good condition for future value?

Another Orphan?
Quite similar in appearance to my Fantom FM709K, is my Kenmore canister 115.24196210.
Same style of foot-operated power on/off switch.
Same style of pre- and post- motor filters.
Same style of dual tab hose locking contrivance.
115? I thought Kenmore vacs were 116.
Anyway, after some more research:
This vacuum is a non-serviceable model, which means that replacement parts and the manual are not made or offered for this model.
So does that mean it's an orphan as well?

Intro & thank you
I just stumbled onto this site & love the retro illustration with the Electrolux.
@dysonman – Thank you so much for your comprehensive explanation of Fantom's history! I own a Fantom Lightning that I bought new, opting for that model due to having so many stairs in my home. At one point, before they completely went away, I found a spare model at a repair shop that I bought for parts.
I really like it and will use as long as feasible. Am not a collector like so many of this group's members.
==> Does anyone know where I can get more HEPA filters for it? Or if there are filters by another brand that work with the Ligntning?
==> By the way, do I have to make a certain amount of posts before being able to access the formatting for my posts (it's greyed out)?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Fantom Help
When I found this site there appeared a picture of a pickup truck with multiple Fantoms leaning against it. It was dated 2013. I was unnable to contact the person because I was not a member. I registered and could not get back to this site.
I need a lightning power-head. The neighbor dog carried mine off.
HELP!!!
