Oh my goodness did you not watch the entire video?

I don't know which older ones you're referring to.

The paper bags

You need to be more specific. They are older Mighty Mites that take different bags.

Yeah I'm talking about the older mighty mites, sorry about that.

There are Mighty Mites that take type MM bags like this one, type N, or type C.

Either brushroll, fan, or motor bearings have gone bad.

SEBO USA.

As a person who's 6'2" with back issues, this is why I don't like side switches.

Shouldn't be older than 96 cause my mom told me she bought this either shortly before or after I was born in 97.

@@panasonicvac4036 I believe it.

@@panasonicvac4036 There was also the 1653-6.

I've seen those before, pretty sure it came with more accessories.

@panasonicvac4036 I see.

If you'll notice on eBay, before the Little Green, Bissell had what was called a Steam-Mate in white/maroon instead of green like this one. If you're looking to add a NOS Little Green to the collection, definitely get one of those.

@@panasonicvac4036 Interesting.

Impossible. There's no way we've bought this in 01. In fact you'll notice my uncle's also has the same numbers yet the box shows the date is from 98.

@@panasonicvac4036 So if I were to guess, your family bought two of the same unit?

Yes, I'm pretty sure ours is older than my uncle's cause we started using Little Greens around 96.

@@panasonicvac4036 I see.

There are definitely new vacuums out there today that are even better than this Kenmore like SEBO or Miele for example.

Only my Essential G1 does the soft start up. My X1, X4, and X5 doesn't.

I honestly don't see how underneath the hood these older Airspeeds are problematic unlike the newer ones which I definitely do notice how much cheaper they actually are. If I had to have a Airspeed, I'd rather go with these older ones preferably a bagged model. But overall, Eureka is just one of those brands that don't make them better like they used to except for the earlier Victory based Whirlwinds, I do think these were better than those.

How do you even know I have one?

@@panasonicvac4036 well panasonic vac when i saw your collection chapter iii that powerforce bagged 3522-1 was in there

@@panasonicvac4036 well is because you bought that machine from the thrift store and i like those older powerforces a bit better because it happens to be one of my childhood machine i had back in 2003

@@panasonicvac4036 well panasonic i really would like to see a video of the 3522-1 because it used to by childhood machine when i was little

@@panasonicvac4036 i don't know im just a big fan of it that's all

I used to use those cloth bags and honestly, I didn't personally cared for them. Yes they filter well and reduces clogging but my problem with them is they still stink up just like the paper bags. I even tried the charcoal bags, was disappointed with them. And no matter what I do, I couldn't get the nasty odors to go away. So I end up wasting more money on changing out cloth bags than I do with paper bags and that's mainly why I went back to using paper for my Kirbys.

Type L.

At least with this machine, it's built in 91.

Read the description.

@@panasonicvac4036 Description: Here I’m showing is my all time favorite Kenmore direct air upright. I got this vacuum about four and a half years ago from eBay for under $200 I believe plus shipping. Came with the hose and crevice tool but the bags I later bought separately. All I needed to do was replace the belt. Other than that, there was one problem with this when I received it. The handle was bent forward due to poor packaging from the seller so I was able to get a partial refund. Despite that, it works awesome and I’m just so happy to finally get one of these cause I’ve been after one for a long time. I first saw one of these on KZbin several years ago and I just immediately fell in love with it. looks so cool, sounds very pleasant, and it’s such a fun toy to play around with. These were competitors to the Hoover Concept Ones and Eureka and then these. I can tell the Hoovers were more solid, they clean better, and more reliable cause I don’t see very many of these left anymore. This came in excellent condition, it looked and smelled as if this came from an older couple’s home. I did noticed that the self propelled feature is very crappy. I don’t know if it’s either because they were always like that, there’s something wrong with the transmission, or just that the handle is bent. I was originally going to look into the handle but because I wasn’t able to get suggestions from others and with how old, especially rare this vacuum is, I decided not to mess with it anymore. Anyways despite it’s flaws, I’d honestly buy one of these over the Hoovers and Eurekas are my all time favorite direct air uprights. I like how much taller it is to press the cord rewind button, light bulbs are easier to get into, bags are easier to replace, and I don’t need a converter to hook the hose onto these. And with the matching grey Kenmore canisters more than Hoover’s and Eureka’s back in the day. One of these days I’d love to find the white non self propelled model as well as the other Whirlpool/Panasonic direct air uprights similar to these such as the black Heavy Duty Plus for example.

There are manuals of these online showing details of how to maintain them.

Did you not watch the whole video?

It was like that when I got it.

Some of my videos don't.

The nozzle moves forward, do you not have an instruction manual for it? There are pictures showing using a hand to move it.

I no longer have the instruction manual, I don’t want to force it for fear of breaking it. I received a handheld portable vacuum with a charger so this one went in a closet. I didn’t want to purchase a new one & remembered I had it. Since my hands no longer work correctly how do I move it. Can I get the part of the manual that shows how to move it. Thx Bev.
