I wonder why nobody has these CMS 1000 VHS tapes. Do you think they just threw them away? |

I think what they show is still really neat, plus there are numerous other older vacuums in it to see! |

Kinda neat that the cleaners are still available in a sense. Repair parts seem rather plentiful, too. Really cool! @ John: I agree, ACCURATE vacuum history is paramount! Not erroneous claims by hacks that make it up as they go. Can't stand that! |

The Amway vacuums were NOT better than the Fantom cleaners. Fantom Thunder vacuums incorporated many things that had been invented by Mr. Dyson AFTER Amway stole his design. Remember, Amway stole the design of the dual cyclonic cleaner (the Cyclon) from Mr. Dyson in 1985. When Amway went to Bissell to ask them to copy the machine, and make it for the American market, the shroud had not been invented yet. This is why the Amway lets hair and fluff into the high efficiency cyclone, which lands on the pre-motor filter. The Amway did not have the instant change-over valve, nor did it have any type of post motor filtration (certainly would never have HEPA filtration). If you take the 1984 Cyclon, and give it steroids, while removing the floating nozzle and instant-change over valve, you'd have an Amway.
ACCURATE history is important. If you really want to know exactly what scam artists Amway is, read Mr. Dyson's autobiography "Against The Odds". He devotes an entire chapter to detailing what snakes Amway executives are and how they stole his design and patents. |

"Hey talking about the Amway vacuums who here think that the Amway vac's were much better than some Fantom ones?"
I had (still have, but no longer using) a 1996 Fantom Thunder that I bought the same year my Mom got her Cleartrak. She's still using her Cleartrak. It gets a lot of use, but she takes such good care of it that it's still like brand-new. I preferred my Fantom's instantly detatchable "wand". But I will say that the Cleartrak feels quite solid and well-built, made from a high quality plastic that very few manufacturers use. |

"Also I don't like the word 'scamway'"...
I'm fine with it. My family and I are all former (majorly duped) and now recovering distributors. The Amway corporation itself is rock solid and has amazing products (the laundry detergent is unequalled in my opinion). However, its tacit approval of allowing its "celebrity" distributors like Dexter Yager and Don Storms -- masterminds of the so-called "black hat" organizations tied to the company like tentacles -- running roughshod over their downlines via brainwashing and intimidation definitely gives this great American company a black eye. |

I just learned from WMJ refurbishing that they own the rights to the ClearTrak vacuum now. So basically the Workhorse is a ClearTrak except with a new name. |
