Ah, Jack, more of those very-easy-on-the-eye pictures, and a great vacuum too. Very nice two-tone blue. Love the first low profile picture; looks like its ready to take on all the dirt in the house. |

I already had this 638, which had just been sitting in the attic for a few years. Pattern bag, cord, no handgrip, bad motor bearings... |
