I went to the thrift store and came upon a weird vacuum cleaner.  It looks like a quality made unit.  It is a patriot and I paid 35.00 bucks for it.  has a round cloth bag and made out of a weird textured plastic.  metal cover.  it is white. It does work.  stinks but works and has a lot of power.  I am going to throw the cloth bag into the washing machine hoping to rid that stink.  Is this a decent vacuum?? never seen one like this before.   How do you get stink out of a vacuum cleaner?? it smells like bad breath with wet dog,, Oh it stinks.
