Picked up a Fantom Cyclone XT a couple of months ago at a thrift store for $10, pretty decent shape, finally got around to testing it and it worked fine.

I've had pretty poor luck with the Cyclone XTs, only got one other mint condition one working. We bought one on clearance at Target years ago for $120. Died right around the time Fantom went bankrupt and was practically new. So we went to Target because it was under warranty so they gave us a giftcard for the amount then since it was winter and the vac was in the car they told us just to dispose of it they didn't want it. I kept it eventually found the motor it needed and fixed it. Then the circuit board that turns the brush roller on died. So I resoldered that and it has basically been sitting in the basement ever since. Looks new, works fine.

I had another Cyclone XT I picked up for $15 but sold to a lady I worked with somewhere between then and now. I also garbage picked one that was missing the cord which I never tampered with.

So this is the only other totally functional Cyclone XT I've had since then.

I've got a boatload of Thunders and varients (and stilll use one regularly to vacuum, as do my parents and sister). Got a few Furys (my uncle still uses one), and a couple of Wildcats and Lightnings.

Fortunately they're not that uncommon around here since they first imported them through Buffalo so they unloaded all the refurbs after the bankruptcy locally. I'll still see one every other month and know people besides me that still use one.

Congrats!!

I always wanted an XT. I have 3 Furys and maybe I will get a Thunder down the road.

Do you have any parts? I'm really looking for some tools and a headlight lens. I've got two other people looking for me, but I know they are hard to find....

Don't really need a manual, but dusting brush and bare floor tool would be great! I don't know how much it would cost to ship, but I can't do anything until I paid next week anyway....

Hello, man114,
Would you be willing to sell one of the fantom wildcats that you have? I live only about an hour away from buffalo. If I can work things out, I may be able to go out there this summer. I may be interested in other fantoms as well, that is, if you are willing to sell any. I completely understand if none of them are for sale, But I just thought It was worth asking. Let me know on this tread, or message me through the site. Thank You!
-Mitchell

I'm sorry, I do not have an upgraded account, so I cannot send messages. Please let me know if you are willing to sell one of your fantom wildcats, and perhaps a couple of others. Thank You-Mitchell
