I'd definitely hang on to this one. It will take a nice shine and will really stand out in your ever growing collection. |

Not rare but a damn good vacuum. I have one in pieces from another collector here.
The Preferred collection was the highest trim level. Other than appearance, I do not think it changed much of anything about the vacuum from the base models. I only have the one, so I do not know about others from the same time frame on their motor specifics. |

Jhas the top fill bag which means better filtration. The height adjustment is better than the nob. It has a 6 amp motor which is about perfect without being too loud. The only thing I don't like is the black belt cover. It does seal better than a belt cap.
I have one but I chipped the bottom of my armature and I need to put new one in. If you get steel wool and take some oxidation off. You could then polish and it would look really nice. |

One of the few regrets I have about not buying a particular machine was when I saw one of these at Goodwill a few years ago for $19. It was in beautiful condition, but there was a Kirby G5 next to it in comparable shape for the same price and I couldn't decide between them, nor could I justify buying both, so in the end, I left them both. Not surprisingly, both were gone when I went back the next day. But that's okay; I've got too many vacuums anyway.
