I picked this up today at a junk store for $10. It needs a new roller and a bumper, but otherwise works fine. I have seen these in green, but not red. Was there a specific store that sold this color? Is there any differences between this and the original featherlite? any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
~K BTW the date code says it was made in 1995.

The green might be upgraded. I only come to this belief as my dirt devil that's red is standard and the blue is upgraded.
I don't know but my late 80s stick vac plus with triangle head is straight suction and is a beast at cleaning hardwood or non carpet flooring. It's a fun powerful vacuum. Les |

Hey Les, I just noticed in pic 6 of your pictures, that Platinum Force hand vac says "power reach nozzle" on the front. Does that mean it has a electric hose to power it? If so, damn! The whole vac industry was holding out on us having those electric stretch hoses Shark & Hoover use now on their Powered Lift Away & React vacuums. If that's the case, they sure did wait a long time to bring that idea to market!!

Never tried the Power Reach, but it looks interesting. Yes the original stick vac is a fun vacuum, although I am always afraid the fan will break during use.
