[COLOR=#993366; font-family: impact,chicago]<span style="font-family: georgia,palatino;">a Kenmore Power Center!......it was only $3.00! i couldint believe it...it is fully usable and completely in tact,the machine dates from 12 1992, which is really sad, cause i remember December 1992, ok i feel 40 now..lol , the only thing wrong with this machine is it was really really dirty.....so i had to soak the whole base and hood and handle....and wash the bag.....i turned out to die for!...i even had a genuine Power Center bag tucked away for such a occasion.... a very interesting trip back to 1992![/COLOR]

I'M EXTREMELY JEALOUS!!
My grandparents had that same exact vacuum except it had a stretch hose and it was 7 amps!! I loved that vacuum! But it went through hell and back unfortunately. After my grandparents stopped using it, they gave it to me, and it got thrown out a few weeks later. It was a great vacuum though! Congrats!!

You know what, crummy ole Phillip would have gotten that machine had we been thrifting together.
I have been lucky to find 4 different models and poor Jason just stood back and drooled.
You see, whenever Jason and I thrift together I carry a rifle with me and have only shot Jason maybe 6 times. Lol
Really though dude, nice find and I would have let you have that but only because I already have that model lol

OMG OMG OMG...

Thats the one my cousin had, I had the blue 7.5 amp. Loved that vacuum. I did like the hose on the 6.5 better as mine was the stretchy hose and we all know what happens to them when you put Mr. Crevice tool on


Congrats it looks great.

It looks like.....

a Hoover! Is it, under the hood?

 

[1926700]

no trebor.....

these were actually built by, believe it or not Panasonic. this was there only (at least to my knowledge) direct air machine....there was said to be a actual Panasonic named version...that was produced for commercial use and was made in red and black...but ive never seen one before......


 

 

[kenmore81]

Goblin Laser knockoff?

This looks like the Goblin Laser, is it a knockoff? (image courtesy of Turbo500)

I seriously doubt it. Those elite style power centers were Panasonic made. Good cleaners but ear deafening loud.

 

[panasonicvac]

This is the Panasonic Ultra Pro commercial version. I like these vacuums, I think in my humble opinion they are the best cleaning Elite style machines that I've ever used. Even better than Hoover, Eureka, Dirt Devil and Bissell. But I still prefer the clean air versions. Will see if the new Sebo/Karcher will outclean my Kenmore Power Center or not.
