Now I was interested in those when I was younger, but I've never used one. What makes it so great exactly?

 

[clarkecombi]

its

one of the cleanest bagless vacuums u will ever use...they are more cleaner than dyson and all the plastic walmart junk....they were also the first generation of cyclonic vacuums...belive me..these babys have got POWER!

 

[kirbyvertibles]

I believe

I believe the Amway was the very first of it's kind, then the Fantom came right after it. In the mid eighties the amway sold for about 600 plus $$

I don't know...

I had a Fantom Fury Special Edition and got it for Christmas brand new one year. It was a light purple and black. I HATED THAT THING!!! That's why I sold it -LOL!!!

[clarkecombi]

CERTIFIED HEPA

[clarkecombi]

Here she is set up for

Bare floor cleaning

 

[clarkecombi]

THIS WAS A SHOCKER

This much dirt after the living room and bathroom and to think i vacuum twice or one a day with a kirby or a hoover(ducks and runs) but its the truth

 

[clarkecombi]

i got cats so theres alot of cat litter and plus i clean out moms ash trays and whatnot....but most of that is from my carpet and me using G3 and sentria..a rainbow E2..and a Hoover Windtunnel and hoover convertible...thats hard to belive

 

[electroluxxxx]

is the suction powerful on the thunder??

 

[clarkecombi]

oh but yesss it is

 

[aeoliandave]

darn powerful suction on the Fury, too.

but they are growly noisy. I'll measure it one the gauge and get back to ya on that.

I have 2 Furys, one from 1998 and the restyled one from 2001. Essentially the same but differ in the base hood shape and the handle nozzle. Also, the air path pre motor lint filters are in different locations.
I prefer the early one for it's less glamorous more mechanical appearance, although I do like the martian green accents on the 2001 model.
