The first one is a Kenmore Whispertone Self Propelled upright I have been eying at the Vac Shop for quite some time now. I had 4 Filter Queen 31's so I just traded one in for this. There was some difficulties with the self propel switch so I had to make it so it was always on. Which does make much of a difference because it is terrible. But the suction on this machine is great! I was told to that the self propelled versions of this machine are "rare" because they did not sell a lot of them. It is a great vacuum though.
Next is the Fairfax. This had a few minutes left on eBay, so I had to snatch it up. I only paid 18 dollars for it, so I couldn't resist. I have always wanted of these. It has two wands, dusting brush, upholstery tool, and crevice tool. and the big filter that goes on the exhaust, name escapes me, that you can also get for the Tristars. It also came with some extra filters. No Power Nozzle unfortunately. So if anyone has one they would be willing to sell to me that would be great! Anyways, I must say I am not impressed with this one. The suction is not very good at all for what you would expect. And I am glad I didn't spring for the shampoo system! I really like the looks of it though. It has a really long cord to! I do not know if that is original or not. So if you have a power nozzle for it, please let me know. Thanks!
P.S.- sorry about the poor quality as it was taken from my phone.

I didn't know they made an self-propelled Wispertone! I see the non-propelled versions of those in thrift shops a lot. They are missing the height adjust selector or reset button and bumper typically.

I have always wanted a Fairfax too, but not if they aren't powerful. I thought they would be very strong, just looking at them. Enjoy your new toys!
