It's on sale (though i saw it even cheap at the same outlet 2 days ago, $88) with free shipping (choose the custom option when you get to that point) for $100. Bags are $2.00/ea. per 10 on Ebay.
Right now in the apartment i use a Shop Vac & a Hoover Clean & Light. this would free up lots of space by essentially combining the two. Anyone have any experience with one of these? My budget is $100 max so this is tempting. CLICK HERE TO GO TO stricklybojack's LINK |

I have the same machine, except it is branded as an Eagle Vac. They are pretty good on bare floors and low pile carpets, but they aren't the greatest at deep cleaning. Using the hose is also pretty difficult as the vacuum is top heavy, so you have to keep one had on the handle when using attachments. They are quiet and have a nice sound to them. I think $100 is pretty reasonable if you are in the market for something along these lines.
Hope that helps. Chase |

by Emer it soon will be. Buy plenty of bags. If this is overstock, it means it did not sell well. It is an attempt to imitate Lindhaus. |

Don't bother worrying about buying tons of bags, as Trebor says. This vacuum is made for Emer by Technica in Italy. This particular vacuum is a very old design, been around YEARS, & made under a few different names....you will have no problem finding bags & filters for it, even if Emer stops having it made under their name.
Go ahead & buy it, it's a good deal. Rob |

I'll second that.
Last year I used an upright that is very similar in look to the photo you've put on. It didn't have a hose but it did have the large similar 14" floor head, carried an Italian name and was already 10 years old. I really wish I could remember the name - the bag was very strange in the sense it mirrored the Miele S140 stick vacuums - bottom fill - with a rubber seal at the bottom that opened up whenever it was switched on for the vacuum air to deposit the dirt. I've not seen any other upright since, but whilst it was easy to use in a commercial setting, I recall the handle and spine leading to the motor was too long and getting bags for it was extremely difficult. The company I worked for still have the machine and they source the dust bags directly from Italy. |
