Most unpleasant-sounding vacuum ever?

So I turned this on today for the first time in a very long time and immediately a gust of dust came flying out the exhaust. Which I then had to vacuum up with another vacuum. So I think it's fair to say I won't be using this anytime soon if ever. Good concept but filtration makes it borderline useless.

Dust getting into the motor vents from it sitting "for a very long time" has nothing to do with the vacuum's filtration.

Thoughthings like that usually have useless filtration as stock, hence cutting an old bag.

I learned the hard way a very long time ago to turn on used vacuums outdoors the first time before I have had a chance to take them apart and sanitize them.

I just say "she'll be right". One time I sas vacuuming a particularly dirty area that was in the garage caarpeting. It was the first bit of carpet you stepped on. This was with a hard case turbopower. A plume of dust came out of the bag casing seeing as it picked up so much dirt all at once.

LMAO What a throwback! that was so long ago! That was long before I became a collector and knew anything about vacuums. I still have it though. I'll hopefully get to it soon once I have a workbench to operate on. The funny thing is that I got two or three more Classics 1CR's since then. lol

I wish you the best of luck whenever you do get to that.
