Defender vacuums...
Charlie,
I believe it IS a hand built machine. Check out this article I found about the company and the owner: CLICK HERE TO GO TO s31463221's LINK | ||

Love that..

Yankee ingenuity! What kind of motor does it use i wonder? The pic shows a Sebo nozzle. No website that i could find. Designed by a vacuum repairman..

Looks nice, but just a bit on the rough side perhaps? Like where is the cord halo or cord winder? And why make the hose permanently mounted to the bag door? Also, the way the channel for the PN receptacle & cord is mounted & installed on the cleaner, on the side, makes it look cheap & homemade.
I did a Google search last night & it pulled up NOTHING on this cleaner. Plus, call the number & it is out of service. No surprise there, this isn't the only company making a basic tube-style canister....such as Metropolitan & Air Tec. Rob | ||

Think it was vaguely based on something like the Electrolux Model XXX based on how it looks, just more crude. | ||

Mike
From what I can gather in my research, Mark O’Brien that owned North Country Vac and Sew in St. Johnsbury VT (creator of the Defender F-16 Vacuum) has retired and closed his business. BUT, thanks to the internet, I may have tracked him down to his new home in Danville VT! Here’s the phone number I found for him now, quite possibly me may still have some parts to these vacuums lying around, or maybe even an entire machine! Might be worth looking into at least! Good luck, and let us know if you do reach him!

It almost looks like a crude version of a Sani-Clean (which itself is somewhere between a cruder Royal Tank and a simplified Air-Way). That sounds bad, but the Sani-Clean performed pretty well, and there wasn't much that could go wrong with one. This seems much the same. | ||
