What a great find! The old Chocolate brown Filter Queens are really great vacuums. Very simple and very well built. If you can acquire the power nozzle you’d have a great power team! Make sure to use genuine filter cones |

I got one of similar to that from Goodwill a few years ago. Cost me $5 and then I spent another $50 or so refurbishing it. It never worked that great, nor could I get the dog smell out of it. After relegating it to the barn for five or six years, I finally donated it a little over a year ago to the church I was attending at the time for their rummage sale. It has not been missed.
I hope yours turns out better. The price was certainly right. |

It works great, both Hi and Low speed
It's missing the crevice tool and the bare floor tool I don't care about the power nozzle that's what I have uprights for After I cleaned it, it now smells like black cherry For every dollar you spend at Goodwill you get 1 point. When you get 100 points they give you a $5 coupon. |

These filters are identical in every way to the original. Obviously filter queen‘s patents were up many decades ago. I proudly sell and use these filters.

Lollolol spend $100 to save $5 - what a deal (sarcasm)
It's a nice cleaner, I have one too I got on eBay for 99 cents. Mine has different wheels on the caddy though but it's the same caddy. I never knew they sold new cones for these, I always kept buying NOS packs of bags. I always make my vacuums just as they left the assembly line. |
