Progress Mercedes 389

I bought the last one, I couldn't resist! I love weird Euro vacs! What gets me is how flimsy the handle feels, it's got the diameter of a carpet sweeper handle and goes together about the same. The yoke is plastic and doesn't feel strong at all. It does clean pretty well, especially on low pile. This must have been a pretty basic model as it has no height adjustment. For a direct air machine it does have a metal fan.

Wtf...

I bought two of them. One for me and one for a gift and they both have plain bags!

Got one too!

Interesting that yours has the label on the bag, and a white cord! Agreed on the handle, I couldn’t see this lasting long in normal conditions at all. Surprisingly powerful though!

That's odd about the bags, I wonder why mine had it but the others didn't? I like that the disposable bags are an F and G style. The belt on mine was worn out just from age and a Regina Housekeeper belt seemed to work perfectly.
