thank you Tommy

I share your opinion , I use it as a daily driver aswell. I love the atachment bag, but can not find it on ebay germany. is there an Italian site were I can order, greetz edgar
 
I love it! I wonder if they had this model in the US? Are bags easy to find? I know they are hard for the older Vorwerks. My Vorwerk is the one I use at night when I don't want to use the Miele but I need something quiet and powerful.
 
hey Edgar, phantastic find, 15 € is NOTHING! Congrats!
(this machine sells like several hundred € here, IF it is in such a great shape)

To help you out, here is a complete list of parts (as far as I am aware of).
And folks, YES, the Italian manual is the most beautiful I've ever seen.
Bobby, I don't know whether you can get exactly THIS model in the US, but I am positive Vorwerk is in the US. (see link below)
