I bought mine like 20 years ago and have only had to replace the cord

it was like 1500 bucks but before that i was spending 80 bucks twice a year on vacumns

the reason it keeps working is the dirt doesnt go thru the motor ,seems to make all the dif and mine came with all these handy attachments that really work
