I really enjoy using this rare beast! Maintenance of this flawed cyclonic set up is key!! It’ll always be one of my favorite Victory models. Who else enjoys Victory vacs?

Those cost me a virtual fortune. We sold them new in my vacuum store. No one maintains them correctly and they also clog almost immediately. I had to give people their money back on almost every one I sold. And then what do I do with a filthy vacuum that people hate? They don't make good daily drivers for the public.

I got my first real Victory last week(have had 2 BOL "boss power/lite" variants"), a red Enviro Vac. Not to sidetrack but I ordered a brushroll to replace the ruined original, and it turns out to be for a 15" Bravo and not a Victory as advertised. So if anyone wants a NOS 15" BRAVO brushroll, email me.
It is my favorite color and style, and would love to get the red Whirlwind to match it. Pic is how I found it, I don't have a good pic of it now on hand.

I agree with some of the others here, I definitely have a soft spot for these old Victory Whirlwinds. If I wanted to use a Whirlwind personally, the Sanitaire version would be my pick. But honestly, these are one of the worst bagless designs that I've ever used. I'd MUCH rather use the bagged versions instead.
