Anyone own one and have any insight? I'm getting mine in a couple hours for $50 supposedly near-mint/brand new condition - looking forward to it for now, anyways, relatively speaking. |

Had an ELECTRIC Power Nozzle & NOT a TURBO PN. I wanted to buy that Magic Blue DX, but at that time I thought it was too much $ for me to spend; but now I'm wanting one. Who made these vacs for Kenmore? Bissell? Eureka? |

I have had a Magic Blue since 2005, and it gets used every once and awhile. I'm not sure why I wanted it, but I do remember using the first generation at Sears with a PN. The one I own has fantastic suction and is very durable. It comes with steel wands and has been dropped down the stairs quite a few times, and it still works perfectly. LG did a great job on it.
One thing I would like to know about these cleaners is whether or not there is a automatic shut off if the motor gets too hot. When ever I use my 50ft central vac hose on my Miracle Mate, the motor shuts itself off after about 20 minutes of use. But when I use the Kenmore, I can use it for it more than an hour and it continues to run. |

Yes the Magic Blue vacs are all made by the Korean company LG.
Interesting trivia: LG stands for "Lucky Goldstar" - these were two separate Korean corporations that merged at some point. Like Japan, Korea's corporate world is dominated by a few families whose individual companies have many subsidiaries with fingers in every industrial area, from home appliances to cars and construction. Lucky was one of those family conglomerates - along with Samsung, Daewoo, Hyundai and Lotte. I also remember seeing Goldstar computer monitors a lot in North America in the 1980's. ("Goldstar" is also the name of a beer company in Israel - not related!) |
