Here is some of what I've gotten so far. I got the Dyson from a vacuum store for $20. It was only clogged and it works really well. The gray Oreck came from Goodwill for $7.50. It was in sad condition but turned out like brand new! The red Oreck came from the flea market. We saw the handle and decided to take a look and the guy said he was looking to get rid of everything for cheap. So we tried it out and offered him $20 and he quickly accepted! This would probably have to be my favorite Oreck, I just love the red! It is also in like new condition! The Sanitaire came from another Goodwill for $3.75. It was in extremely bad condition but turned out really nice! I'll probably end up using that quite a bit. I also got the Kenmore from another Goodwill for $10. It works great, just needs a good cleaning!

Yup It was in the junk pile, and they didn't even know they had a perfectly working Dyson. They called the trade in pile "The Wall of Shame Vacuums" | ||

Here is the power nozzle, the entire vacuum is like new. Very seldom used.

This is a bad picture so I will post a better on later, but this was just way to nice to leave behind. I don't think this was ever even used honestly. It had no smells, no rips in the cord or bag, and absolutely nothing wrapped around the brushroll. I have been wanting a Halo ever since they first came out, and we got this one for only $60. I was happy it was the Oreck model because I like the blue trim. It surprisingly had all of the attachments, as well as a brand new HEPA bag. I thought it was also neat how it has a height adjustment on the side. It's a pretty decent vacuum, I might sell it though.

Now this was the find of the day I think, as well as what Kyle will post in a while. There is a guy at the flea market that always has NIB Sears products. I have never bought anything from him, but have always eyed what he has had at his tent. This time, I decided to go ahead and get this brand new in the box Kenmore canister for $85. It was completely sealed and had never been used. These sold brand new at Sears just a few weeks ago for $199! This is a really great vacuum. It is very compact and has a nice, long hose. The power nozzle is also very aggressive.

Wow You guys had some great finds! And some good deals! You both are lucky that you have basements to store all that! I really like those direct drive machines. Wish thrifting was that good here! Scott

Nice Kenmore 29319 teal canister. I like that CT18DX over the CT14DX as on the other canister. Both nice units though. The Hoover Spirit is in amazing condition. How is the suction on the Hoover Spirit? I've tried a couple of those that didn't have much suction, but my feeling is that your model with a deluxe Quadraflex Powermatic would have good suction.

Today we also found some more, and we weren't really even looking. There was a Craigslist ad for a garage sale today that would have four vacuums, so we went to that and came home with three of them. The one we didn't get was a complete Tradition, along with the box. The guy actually said he was going to trade it into our local vac shop for a new Riccar, so I will probably end up with it soon. So, we got this extremely nice Windtunnel Supreme for $5. It's in amazing shape, and I have wanted the green model ever since they came out. I would always love going to Kohls to look at them. I believe it sold for around $179.

I forgot to mention that they just gave us a Hoover Runabout Elite, that was the third vacuum. It's dead, so we are just going to throw it away. Davis came over and he brought two of his newest vacuums. A brand new Hoover Conquest which he paid $225 for, and the new Eureka Airspeed Zuum, which is actually a really neat vacuum.

and best of all...
my new Sebo X5. Kyle was most generous to give me this perfect machine. It is in fantastic condition and works great! I really like these! He also gave me the $100 tool kit which includes an extension hose, extra wand, and floor tool. As well as the manual and several bags. I'm very excited about this cleaner and it will probably be my new daily driver for a long time!

Kyle- Fantoms
The thunder can clean better than the dc07 but I cant say anything about the other Dyson's because ive o ly used the dc07. I Think the Dyson dc07 is a little over engineered. Did you ever want one of the original FANTOMs? They are rare and quite hard to come by now. I tried getting an ebay one. He said he would sell it to me for 90$ if it didn't sell but someone bought it last night on the auction for 115$ which is more than I would offer as much as I wanted it.
