Hello everybody, I just picked up this Singer golden Power Master. I have never had a singer vacuum before, and honestly I probably would not have picked it up if it were not for that lovely floral print on the bag. I only payed $20 for the machine, which is okay with me. It is in okay shape and everything seems to work okay and the motor sounds great. It is currently completely useless due to that fact that the end caps for the brushroll have crumbled. I was able to fit a Eureka bag and belt which seemed to fit just fine, but I still cannot use it with how the brushroll is as it falls out within a few seconds.
I have never used one of these before, but for the tiny bit that I did use it, it was absolutely horrible. Although I cannot complain that id did not seem to pick anything up because the previously mentioned brushroll, it was extremely hard to push across the carpet even on the shag setting. it seemed so be easy enough to move on the low pile area rug in one room, but the rest of my carpet, which is higher pile, but by no means shag. it would absolutely wear you out to even do one room.
Either way, it is a cool machine, And I am sure it would work perfectly fine, I don't think that I will be going out of my way to find the parts, as I would probably never use it with all the vacuums that I have that are seemingly so much better, but it is a cool addition to the collection, and I am glad that I got it.
On a side note, the bag topper which is the "box top" style bag, which is like a thick cardboard type material was all bent from years of being pulled upward by the spring, so I was able to bent the tabs that held it in place out and remove and flip it over, so now it is bent the opposite way. It already looks better, hopefully over time it will straighten back out.
