Today I got a fantom fury 10 amp!!! I saw the C.L posting right after my trip on sunday, and called the people right away. They were asking $20. I got there, and It was in the garage. I brought it into their house to plug it in, and the handle release wouldn't go down! It went down only about half an inch, and stopped. I couldn't figure it out. Then, the only thing I could do was push down on the nozzle really hard, and sure enough, the nozzle started to come down, enough for me to try it out. It works great, is in great condition, and the headlight works! It is missing the floor brush, but I took one from one of my furies that isn't in as good condition and put it on this one. It even came with the pet hair tool! The hepa filter was close to knew, but smelled of cigarettes, so I blew it out with my mighty mite and the odor is mostly gone now. Because of the handle release problem, they sold it to me for only $10! What a deal! When I got it home, I was able to push the nozzle down more, and now it releases all the way now. A fully functional fury. $10. Pictures show how nice this looks:

10 Amp

I have a 10 amp Fury complete with extension hose pet hair tool and other attachments. Be VERY light with using it as the 10 amp models are a little more rare than the others. Anyway congrats on the fond and enjoy it!

Thanks! I used the fury yesterday, But I will not use it often at all. It seems to sound good though. Dysondestijl, the bissell in the background is called the "heavy duty". It is basically the original bissell healthy home (from 2006-2007?) with different colors. It is sold as a walmart exclusive here in the states, I'm not sure if it is sold in the uk. Even though I don't care for newer bissells, I like this one. It's very heavy, but it is powerful and sturdy. I got it at a large public market sale last year for $25. They go for $160+ new, so I think that was a good deal.

How could anyone use that Bissell "Heavy Duty" for there house?!?! It is massively bulky and is in my opinion extremely ugly, needless to say, I hate bissell's. :P

Yes, it isn't the prettiest vacuum, and it is really heavy. It is really only for people who don't mind the weight. I get a sweat just from taking it up the stairs!

Yes...

Fantoms with ALL attachments (that does include optional accessories like the pethair tool and extension hose) then in good condition is pretty rare. Any Fantom generally is rare especially the Wildcat, Crosswind models.
