Plastic Body Electrolux

[vacuumlad1650]

So Next month, id like to buy either a Lux Diplomat, Epic 6000 or Epic 6500 and i want to know if its worth getting one of these, and if so, where can I find one other than Ebay or Craigslist?
My Grandmother had all 3 of these when I was a kid, so i would love to get one in about a month or 2.
Thanks!

Craigslist or <strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Kijiji in Canada. </strong>


<strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">There are 3 or 4 listed in my local CL right now for reasonable prices.</strong>


<strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I did notice an ebay listing for local pickup as well, so keep searching.</strong>


<strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">I have an LE right now. I picked it up with a power head, hose, and all attachments for $25</strong>


<strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Mine was used like a shop vac, and was pretty dirty inside.</strong>


 


<strong style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16px;">Look or post in the Super Market link as well (top of forum)</strong>

Use searchtempest to search multiple CL listings.


 


You cannot go wrong with either metal or plastic, they are both great machines.


Sometime it is a personal preference.


The motors are smaller on the plastic bodied canisters, but still have great suction.


They are also lighter. The plastic has a tendency to look dingy after a while, but a little cleanup will take care of that.
