good deal. Sears was selling those a few years ago for over $400 both the bag and bagless models. Future Shop carried them for awhile. Last I saw was one at Future shop they were trying to get rid of for about $70...I thought about buying it..bagged model but figured nah. Interesting vacs though. Someone else had them as well but Siemens named but can't remember where that was..Home Sense or Home Outfitters.
