I saw this from a distance last night sitting next to a pile of trash and had to stop and grab it. This vacuum is absolutely flawless other than the power drive cable being snapped right where it connects to the handle mechanism. I am going to get that replaced though. All I had to was throw new belts on it and give it a good cleaning and it is as good as new! It even came with all of that attachments that are practically unused, and literally, a brand new bag and exhaust filter installed! The headlight and dirt finder also works! I was told that this model was a Sears Exclusive, and it is from 2005. I am excited to get the power drive going!

Not a bad looking machine, I wonder how these do for cleaning? I was always curious, especially about the self-propelled-ness. | ||

It will be an excellent cleaner. For me, any of the Hoover self propelled machines were very jerky. Eureka and Kirby held the market with self propelled. Both were much smoother then Hoover.
I would love to find a non-self propelled Hoover Dail-A-Matic in good shape and a Concept One. Have both machines now with self propell, but don't use them. Morgan | ||

I do have..
a green Windtunnel Ultra Self Propelled from 2002. It runs, but the brushroll bearings are pretty bent up, cord clips broke, handle release broken. It is just a mess, so I was happy to find this one. I really do love these machines though.
I am pretty sure that is how the cable must have snapped, from picking it up from the handle to much. It really is a shame | ||

Awesome!! I have a charcoal/silver one, I like it alot. Another curb find, the foot lever that holds the back was broken and one attachment was missing (4 days later I found a parts donor also curbside 10 miles away when I was going to the store). Surprising what you can find. : ) | ||
