My grandmother had one she got Xmas 80 or 81 I was born 81and it actually lasted till 89 or 90. She had the off white one with an almost rotary switch that you'd push up rather than the flat wedge one you push down. The new one was the same except the newer switch, and the newer filter was paper rather than cloth and the suction wasn't as good on the new one.

I found a DustBuster Plus, New In Box, at an estate sale about a year ago.. It was a gift -- I would guess... and they didn't ever use it. I remember my parents having one when I was tiny... I vividly recall going to get it.. and I think we bought a second for my grandparents. | ||

I got one new in about 88 and loved it so much we bought Grandma one. The second or third generation was the last of the good ones. By the time they went to a more rounded body with the slider switch it wasn't the same.
My neighbor had the 79 one and gave it to me after the battery pack died. I took it apart and rigged up some kind of battery system using either D or 9 volts. Sadly it's all long gone now. | ||
