Like most fantoms, most like them, or hate them.
If you really want it, go for it. There are not a lot of these around for sale anymore. Personally, I used to love all Fantoms, but I have since learned about their faults. I think the concept of the cyclone x.t was good, and in many ways it was an improvement over the thunder. Unlike the thunder, the cyclone's brush could be turned off for bare floors, had tools stored inside the top half of the body, and the cyclone assembly was easier to clean (in my opinion). But, the cyclone does not clean carpet as well as the thunder did. But, in many ways (as far as design goes) I think it was an attempted improvement over the thunder. I'm just guessing, but Shipping for this machine would probably be between $30-40.
