The Goodwill Outlet store, that is, where the dreck of the dreck is offered. But some goodies do turn up. I've bought a number of vintage machines there, mostly canister models because most "modern" people want an upright with the hose built onto it. I see lots of plastic uprights but I'm really not interested in them.
Most of you guys are better versed in the lesser-known brands of machines that I am. However, I was aware of the Fantom vaccuum but had never examined one. The other day, I was at the Goodwill and I saw a lady had an interesting power nozzle in her cart (she beat me to it). Since I had part of a wand that looked like the one she had on the nozzle, I asked her if I could look at it. She motioned that I was allowed. I looked at it and saw that it was a Fantom. It quickly became clear that this lady didn't speak English well, and really didn't know what the power nozzle was for. I got the impression that she thought it was some kind of stand-alone sweeper, like an old-fashioned carpet sweeper. I imagine that this nozzle will quickly find its way into a dumpster. That's a shame, too, as the Fantom nozzle appeared to be very well made.
