Hey Dan…

This is the Other New Jersey Dan…

I am cracking up reading your post - I think Tom Mixed the two of us up…

When he e-mailed me to tell me that he could finally sell me one, he made a comment about getting me the second one off of the line, and that he kept the first for himself…

While I thought that was very nice thing to do, I wondered right then and there if he had mixed the two of us up… Or at least confused our e-mails...

Now I just hope I have something being delivered tomorrow !!! (After all Tom did charge my card !!!)

Funny Mixup aside, I am glad to hear that you are pleased and it was everything you thought and more…
It looks like a class act - Great color…

I will let you know what I think after mine arrives…

Tom - Do I have something coming as well tomorrow ??? Dan P. (Danorob1)
 
Congratulations on the Prima. It's nice to see a vacuum designed with the end user in mind rather than just the pinhead in accounting who thinks a 5 ft hose is just fine. Since I have a long haired dog, I have to ask about the pet brush. Does it work well?
 
Thanx Jeff

You can tell a lot of thought and design from other vacuums are in this canister vacuum from Tacony .
The long hose is perfect length it can reach very high without having to lift the machine .

Gary ,
I have no problem with the hose handle but then again I also have no problem with an Aerus hose handle . I guess it's personal preference the Prima is a very comfortable vacuum to use very user friendly.

I guess it all depends on how you use the vacuum and how much above the floor cleaning you use it for. I have had several vacs (Aerus, Filter Queen, Rainbow, Miele, Vortech Force, etc.) all which have the gas pump style handle and I have disliked them all as they are just too large and bulky when doing a lot of above the floor cleaning and in tight quarters. The traditional handle style on most vintage vacs is most comfortable for me. My favourite would have to be the handle on my Lux '89 with the trigger control for the power nozzle. It gives full control of turning the nozzle on/off and yet the handle is very compact and light.

I just noticed your post saying how much you dislike the gas pump handle on Aerus vacuum hoses. Just wanted to let you know, for your Guardian Platinum, that machine end hose connector is available as a separate part. If you really do prefer the pistol grip, it would be easy enough to order it & the Classic hose & put the Guardian hose connector on it, so you would have a pistol grip hose to use for dusting. I was looking into it myself, & still thinking on it....some of the rugs I have the L shaped Aerus PN does OK but could do better so I use a Eureka VG III PN on them instead, which is why I was looking into a 2nd hose for the Platinum. And yes I am using the new-style 10 degree brushroll in my powerhead, so that isn't the issue.

Kirbyloverdan was the first person to order a Prima. Ten people from vacuumland have now done so. Your order (2nd one) was shipped the day after Dans. Yours should arrive today. Any order placed after noon goes out the next day. The FedEx trucks leave us at noon. Be sure to post pictures along with your reaction when you get it.
 
Thanks Tom -

I replied to your e-mail as well… I figured it was something simple like that...

I will be sure to put up lots of pictures once it gets here - I hope it is today -

I have a ton of time to burn off by my anniversary date, so I have been home since 1:30pm waiting for the FedEx Driver!!

I forgot that I have a FedEx tracking account -
Mine is being delivered tomorrow - It actually left Tacony on Monday 04/13 -
I will post some pictures tomorrow after work -

Right the only thing I can remember walking into a JC Penny is that wafting aweful smell radiating from the so called beauty salon. Boy that smell could strip the paint off anything, probably why appliances were on the second floor far away from it! And no for the smart A$$'$ on here it is not me that smells, I shower several times a day, not weeks OR months
 
AMAZING!

You'd be hard pressed to find another essentially NEW Destiny Plus! I have one just like that, and a 12 amp one. Beautiful machine. You really cannot put a price on a find like that. They really were Fantom's best! The Destiny Plus is very special to be because it was the vacuum we had when I was born. Keep preserving vacuum history- Mitchell
 
Mitchell

I posted that just for you 😁 it was the only Fantom I liked plus being a Sears brand I think it's even a rarer machine. Oh you know one day some lucky collector will enjoy my brand new and pristine collection .

I am on the hunt for the mother of my children so hopefully I meet the right girl get married and make my own future collector .


Dan
 
Thank You!

I'm flattered you could do that for me. I remember being scared to death of those "monster eye" looking headlights! When it wasn't running, it was like my toy. I have 2 pictures of me with it when I was three somewhere.
 
Prima

Dan, just had the opportunity to read your glowing review of the Prima, ( I had a little accident and have been unable to read for a few days,) Well of course now I am hooked and must have one. I believe I have worked out a way to go to Missouri and visit the museum and Tom this summer so i am going to TRY and wait until I can pick it up in person. Try not to be too mean and nasty lol
