Hey Man

if I were you I would go back to the thrift store and get the vac ( if its cheap of course ) the wildcat was the worst vac fantom ever made however I have a vision that they will become very collectable in the near future. I think the story behind them was that fantom decided they didnt want to pay james dyson so they could use his design so the offspring was a frankly terrible disposable dirt container!

So to get one thats N.I.B. would be wise as it will be worth a pretty penny in the future.

Hope it helps, oh and sorry for the loss of picture!

Charlie

Fantom Wildcat

Hi, I used to have a Fantom Wildcat. it was a burnt orange one. I like it a lot. It cleaned good. Loved the tools. and the suction was great. I got it a few years ago at a Boscovs $50.00 I like that it had a switch that would turn the brush off and that it didnt take a belt. From what I remember it was a motorized brush. All in all a good vac. however the plastic was not that great. the Part that held the hose in snapped off a few months after I got it and then the handle snapped off. So I ended up getting rid of it. If those 2 things would have not gone wrong I would of kept it. Good Luck on finding one!!
