Well that certainly was fun! The guy did sell a pretty convincing pitch for sure. If I were living back then and saw that, I would buy it! | ||

I'm not sure when the Model T was made, but it looks like it was made long before conventional 'credit cards'. I don't remember anyone using credit cards like Visa, Mastercard etc before the late 60's. | ||

It's amazing to me that vacuum cleaner technology/power peaked many decades ago. Today's stuff is, well....lacking | ||

Truly....I have to laugh, as I stroll by today's armada of Plastic Fantastics on display at vacuum centers everywhere. And they aren't inexpensive either; far better to buy something old and fix it up! | ||

Todays cleaners
I get asked all the time by felow co-workers, family friends etc whats a good vacuum to buy at stores such as Walmart. My reply- the bagged Bissell upright for $39.00 if you must buy a new machine. That is one of the only bagged low cost uprights available today that will last 5-10 years with decent care. I have found loads of these in the rubbish that needed only a belt or replacement cord to get fully operational. The motors, brush rolls and base housing seem pretty sturdy. Other than that a trip to your friendly vacuum repair/sales store or considerably more money spent will field a decent cleaner. If you want something that will last the long haul then fixing up an older metal cleaner is your best bet.
