Thanks! This model does feature the same powerdrive as the windtunnel, And I just finished stripping it down for a nice sudsy Spa-Day. When I tried this out at Goodwill, EVERYONE in that store heard it, Like a Boeing 747 Taking off! They marked $5 off the price of $10, And for that I couldn't go wrong. I got home, expecting bad bearings in the brushroll, or worse. When the noticed both the brushroll and powerdrive where free, I was at a lost. I was fooled by the styling, and remembered this was a fan first machine- The #1 cause of loudness was a broken fan!
This fan had a HUGE chip in it, I'll have to post a picture later. I'm relieved, and will look for a 12-Blade when I go scouting for parts for the Elite 350. If not, I'll use my spare 6-Blade. | ||

Were there JC Penney or Montgomery Ward versions of this style Power Drive? | ||

Wards no...As said above they had already gone out of business. But the JCP version was a black "Turbopower" 2000 maybe? They had the standard and "Dirt finder" version for around $300- 350.00. I also have this Sears version. They sold from around 1998-2002 IIRC for about $300.00 also. I got mine NIB in 2001 on ebay for $28.00 including shipping!
