New Fantom Fury |
[Down to Last] |  |

I got a fantom fury that is silver yesterday for $20. It was from a response from an ad the I put on CL for fantoms. Well guys, it isn't close to perfect. The dust bin's bottom needs to be re-glued together, there is a small peice broken off the casing for the wand, and the biggest issue is that the front of the bottom plate was completely broken off. Luckily, I put cardboard over the broken peice and taped it with electrical tape and now it is harder to notice. It runs as it should though, cleans just as well as the other "furies". The only other issue is that the headlight does not function anymore, which I think was common on fantoms. I think one of fantomvacuumfan's furies also has this problem? This is the silverish-green model, just like the one fantomvacuumfan has. Well, even though is isn't in the greatest shape, I think $20 isn't that bad considering that fantoms are getting harder and harder to find. I'm very proud to have saved this one, as I think it wasn't taken care of very well with the old owner. Will post pics soon, also found a functional eureka superbroom in the trash up the street. So, do you guys think $20 was a good deal? -Mitchell

If you're planning to sell your Lightning, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Fantoms are great bagless vacuums; esp. the dual-cyclonic models.
Can ANY parts (even generic) still be obtained, or are they obsolete? | ||

fantom parts
The belts and lightbulbs are generic, but other parts can be harder to find. Attachments for the fury and thunder are pretty easy to find, they show up on ebay all the time. Other parts are pretty rare. I'm trying to get ahold of an original fantom from a vac shop near me. It's missing some parts but I should be able to find at least the hood in the pile of vacuum parts they have there.

Phillip, I think I may have an extra bin for a fantom lightning if you need it, the mesh filter should stay very clean if everything is working correctly. Scott | ||
