Yeah, I don't really like fantoms, but they are hard to find! I didn't buy it though because I spent most of my money on two other vacuums today! I might hav already bought it if it was cheaper!
Fantoms aren't really that hard to find. At least over here. I see them all over. They are great vacuums for being from the 90's. Especially the Thunder. (That one). I would have definitely gotten it though.
We had a Fantom Fury back in the 90's. Pushing it around was like pushing a pickup truck around without the engine running.
Mediocre results and a real workout to use.
We had a Thunder and Fury back in the late 90's. The Fury was 23097 times lighter, so it was easier to use than the Thunder. The Thunder didn't last long, I sucked up a sock with it and it burnt up. Our Fury lasted a while, the switch was jammed and stuck on on for the longest time, and after about a year the switch started spewing out sparks. But it was a pretty good vacuum. The one I have now it junk though
