Congrats... I always thought those had a really aggressive power nozzle good for deep cleaning... We had them for sale at Sears when I sold vacuums there, but I never sold one as they couldn't compete with the feature list of the Kenmores... they were the same price and the Hoover lacked things the Kenmores had like fingertip power switches, height adjusts on the power nozzle, quick release on the power nozzle, direct connect wands, an electric mini-tool, geared belts with overload protection... and the power nozzle of the Hoover Windtunnel bagged canister we had squeaked and creaked, so when people saw it, they always wanted the Pannymores instead... but it still is a powerful cleaner and so nice to have gotten such a fun gift from a dear friend! If I remember right, if you turn the machine on and don't have a firm grip the the handle, the power nozzle will fly out of your hands and race across the room (or as far as it can get until it's stopped by the weight of the canister LOL)... much like my Celebrity power nozzle...
Hows the Filter Queen gig going, btw?
