Nice Kenmore 29319 teal canister. I like that CT18DX over the CT14DX as on the other canister. Both nice units though. The Hoover Spirit is in amazing condition. How is the suction on the Hoover Spirit? I've tried a couple of those that didn't have much suction, but my feeling is that your model with a deluxe Quadraflex Powermatic would have good suction.
 
Fantoms-my vacs rock

Hey Kyle(my vacs rock), what do you think of the fantom technologies vacuums? I saw you once had a thunder and lightning, have you ever came across others? I love fantoms, I think they were the best bagless machines ever made. What do you think of them?
 
Yes, i did have a Thunder and a Lightning at one time, both of them are now sold and gone. I can't say that i miss them too much. They were the best for their time, no doubt. However, i have to say the Dyson is the best (In MY opinion) BAGLESS, and i stress the BAGLESS to save my ass from this forum because i know people get mad about that kind of talk.
I've owned a DC07, which is not the best whatsoever, but it had a lot of potential. Then after that i owned a DC17 which, at the time, i thought was the best bagless vacuum on the market. It was aggressive, simple, and i had never seen a bagless vacuum pull so much dirt from anyones carpet. However, this weekend i acquired a DC28 AirMuscle Machine and it is awesome! Yes, the AirMuscle i can already tell is going to be causing me some issues in the future, but, now that it is still new and i can enjoy it, i love it! It is aggressive as all get out, and it pulls itself on just about every surface. It is great!

Again, that was all just my opinion.
Hope this helped,
Kyle
 
Today we also found some more, and we weren't really even looking. There was a Craigslist ad for a garage sale today that would have four vacuums, so we went to that and came home with three of them. The one we didn't get was a complete Tradition, along with the box. The guy actually said he was going to trade it into our local vac shop for a new Riccar, so I will probably end up with it soon. So, we got this extremely nice Windtunnel Supreme for $5. It's in amazing shape, and I have wanted the green model ever since they came out. I would always love going to Kohls to look at them. I believe it sold for around $179.

We also got this Eureka ESP two speed for $5. We gave this to Davis because he has wanted one for a really long time, and he has the matching canister.

I forgot to mention that they just gave us a Hoover Runabout Elite, that was the third vacuum. It's dead, so we are just going to throw it away. Davis came over and he brought two of his newest vacuums. A brand new Hoover Conquest which he paid $225 for, and the new Eureka Airspeed Zuum, which is actually a really neat vacuum.

We got this amazing World Vac Mega Boss today. I had one of these when I was little so this brought back tons of memories. This one is in fantastic condition and I really like it. These are really neat vacuums, and this one is actually decently quiet!

This is the coolest thing in the long time..

Thank you so much Chase for the Dyson DC28. I am in love with this machine, it works so well! I'm glad i own a new Dyson now! :)

A quiet World Vac, definitely has a different motor than the 12AMP Bravo II Powerline Boss that I had. I'll have to try one of the older style series similar to those World Vacs. Consumer Reports rated those well too.

How do you like your LG Kompresor?
 
The Kompressor is one of the best bagless uprights that I have ever used. It has so many neat features and deep cleans like crazy. The suction on it is unbelievable. If you have a big house with lots of carpet I strongly recommend it.
 
You....

guys have some of my DREAM machines! Well maybe not ones that I would die for but ones that I really, really want including the Kenmore Progressive Glide, the light green Windtunnel, Oreck Halo, and the Hoover V2!! Congrats again on your finds!
 
and best of all...

my new Sebo X5. Kyle was most generous to give me this perfect machine. It is in fantastic condition and works great! I really like these! He also gave me the $100 tool kit which includes an extension hose, extra wand, and floor tool. As well as the manual and several bags. I'm very excited about this cleaner and it will probably be my new daily driver for a long time!

Kyle- Fantoms

The thunder can clean better than the dc07 but I cant say anything about the other Dyson's because ive o ly used the dc07. I Think the Dyson dc07 is a little over engineered. Did you ever want one of the original FANTOMs? They are rare and quite hard to come by now. I tried getting an ebay one. He said he would sell it to me for 90$ if it didn't sell but someone bought it last night on the auction for 115$ which is more than I would offer as much as I wanted it.
