you live in dfw? have you met other collectors from here? sean curry, myself and jay huston all live within a short driving distance from you. none of us have anything that new, but we can look while we go estate saleing and thrifting.
Unless it's a good deal, and it's something I WANT. 90 percent of vacuums I have purchased through ebay arrived broken, or poorly described:
-Kenmore Whispertone 300 w/ dead powerhead motor and wrong powermate jr.
- Damaged Westinghouse Unplugged w/ dead batteries and missing tools
- Fantom Cyclone XT with bad motor and faulty wiring
-Fantom Thunderbolt with huge clog at powerhead base
- Fantom Thunder with cracked cyclone assembly
-Kenmore Drytech w/ semi-functional height adjustment
The Fantom Thunderbolt was a Euro-Pro canister that was made shortly after the Fantom name was bought by Euro-Pro. It looks VERY similar to a Fantom Lightning in a lot of respects.
Thanks for that! I'm not well trained on Euro-Pro Fantoms, besides the "Commercial" model.....you have GOT to love that chrome sticker! Regardless, I love mine, it's a decent vacuum and very quiet! the plastics are not terrible, I've only had a cord hook snap off!
