Question about the clear "window" in the bag:
Was this feature actually useful? I have never seen it in real-life, but I would assume that after a while, the dust in the bag would just cloud up the window, and the user would not be able to see anything anyhow. Also, if the window is at the top of the bag, how could anyone know how much room was left in the bag until the mountain of dirt actually reached the top? Seems like a great idea in theory, but not in practice......

That is a Model 120, isn't it?
Well, gee whizz, which modern bagless doesn't have a clear dirt bin to both impress and disgust the new owner of her/his astute purchasong skills? I don't mind seeing the dirt getting captured and swirling about in cyclonic fervor. I have a few See-thru Speed Sacs for my 120 Big Wheel but they are so dried out the clear strips peel away or have detached. I took one apart and re-glued the strip for demonstrations. What I do find fascinating on some vintage vacuums is that the multi-coloured feature stickers always seem to be intact, like yours with the 'All Metal Construction' so proudly announced in purple foil. Mine has its intact, too. Even more inexplicable is the labels left stuck on the floor nozzle... Surely they were meant to be removed by the purchaser so they could admire the sheer design beauty of their new vacuum? I applaud the Ladies that left them in place. Dave
