I had one of those. They are the cheapest, heaviest, underperforming piece of crap since the Regina Housekeeper. The entire AirSpeed line sucks, and everyone should know that. I've owned and used multiple AirSpeed units, and I hated every one of them.

I’d add that heavy-metal Electrolux XXX with all the metal tools attached. That assembly must have weighed 25 lbs!

Most die-hard Eureka fans like the vintage pre-1990s cleaners, not the cheap crap made from 1998-2019.

Electrolux AB (Eureka parent company up until a few years ago) and Aerus Electrolux LLC. are two separate entities, and have been since 1930. Aerus makes the good vacuums, Electrolux AB Sweden makes the crap.
Those 913s
are heavy duty! To me most of the older Hoovers are! Look how long they have lasted.

Let me just say I love my two Hoover U4003s. I hate modern Hoover though. So many bad experiences with them breaking down only a year after purchase. I wish Hoover didn't sell out.

You want heavy? No pic unfortunately
A medical facility I worked in years ago had a Tornado Carpetkeeper commercial vac from the '60s or '70s. This was when Tornado was the brand of Breuer Electric. (Part of Tacony since 2007)
Single-motor, 14" or 16" wide upright. You needed to be Godzilla to push it on the low-pile carpet. Needless to say, it didn't get a whole lot of use.
There was a floor scale nearby, so I weighed it one day.
That beast weighed in at 49 pounds.
