What would you have brought home?
The $30 Kenmore Whispertone with a non functioning brush roll? Yes I tried the reset button and reinserting the hose correctly. Or the $8 Constellation by another name with off color exhaust port cover and no tools, or the $15 Eureka Hoover Elite wanna be, or the $13 Aerus FreshEra 8lb vac? |

You would be stealing that for $13! It can't be that old, and they are like $300 new! The Revalation doesn't look like it's in the best of shape. The Kenmore looks nice, but I wouldn't want to deal with the powerhead issue. I don't care much for those Eureka Bravo's. Loud, cheap, low reliability, did I mention they are LOUD? A very cool selection of machines though. Most that come up around here turn out to be overpriced cheap bagless junk.

I have 4 kenmore branded canisters and one Panasonic (like the newer Kenmores) already. I should post some pics of them because i just got one i have never seen before.
I actually made the trip because i saw the Kenmore yesterday and hoped it would be 50% today. Yellow was the color today and i would have bought it in it's partially disabled shape for $15 but they exempted "electronics" from their discount. So i held off. I didn't even get around to checking the brush roll or tool area. I already have two TriStars and the didn't like the looks of the Eureka so i came home with my first Aerus branded machine and called it a day. |

RUN back there and buy the Revelation! If you don't want it I will buy it from you. |

I'm with marks_here... everything but the wanna be... But if I could only get one.. the Kenmore, as D-T said, the PN is an easy repair. |

my hard found honey-holes will remain a secret but i'd be happy to pick up and hold something for someone coming to San Diego by Labor day. You would need to paypal me the money in advance. If it requires a special trip i would ask $5 for gas. In a few years i will probably be living here full time again and will be selling off some of my collection at that time. I just don't have the time to ship any vacuums right now.
