I found this Philips from the Internet thrift store. It was very cheap and seller said it to be in good condition. Unfortunately body of the vacuum was partly cracked and scuffed , bag chamber door had also some damage + floor tool was in very bad condition.
After one day of hard work I managed to get it fixed + polished. Although I had to order the new floor tool.
I also washed the filter bag and replaced the post motor filter.
I will order new paper bags to this. Bag will go to the fabric filter bag.

Now it is in very good condition and I can't stop liking it. It has very smooth sounding motor, lots of suction and it looks fantastic (I like the design).
I am just amazed how good these old vacuums are. If you ask me much nicer than the new ones.

I forgot to mention that this is from the mid 80's and motor is 1000w.

It is quite nice. Do the attachments store on board the cleaner?

The floor nozzle seems quite unique. Could you please post a link to some photos of this tool that you bought? I did not see any bristles on it in the video, which is unusual.

Keetos for sharing! :-)

This didn't come with any attachments, but there is no tool storage in the vacuum.
Twinner is quite unique floor tool. It has been out from the mid 90's so the design is quite old. Very easy to maneuver and fits in to the small and low places. Large front suction channels are best part of this nozzle. It doesn't push debris around, it suck them right up. Not any brushes in this nozzle. It glides with those grey pads which are replaceable. This nozzle has been very popular at least in the Finland. It's Swedish design.
