Very nice machine, I got this for $10 and it works very well. Cleaned her up and she looks brand new.

On the Sanitaire type vacuums all I kind find is the Bissel versions.They work just like the vintage Sanitaires.Just green body instead of red.Has the 7A motor.I have one that has a dump bag and 5A motor. | ||

That's a nice machine, very similar to my S645, made by Electrolux in 2012. You definitely got a better deal than I did, especially if your machine needed no work beyond a good cleaning. I paid $12 for mine, but it needed a bit of work. Fortunately, was able to source most of the needed parts from spares I had on hand, the one exception being a new cord, which at $16, more than doubled my cost. But hey, that's just the way it seems to go.

For me, I don't care about cost, I care about preserving vacuums. It's not unusual for me to put $40-$50 into free vacuums. I always hunt for the cheapest possible part I can find, and often look for bulk lots of random parts which I can shotgun at least one part and outfit several models I own for one price. I've paid $30 for a Kirby 516 and then getting the original bag, used, cost over $95 lol It's expensive because the more people throw parts away, the less there are, which means when people have them, they expect you to pay up for them. It doesn't help either when the actual company destroys all the parts (looking at you Hoover) | ||
