The Fantom Lightning Story

[@renegadingrowlet2327]

So when I was 2-3 years old, I was obsessed with vacuums.... my mother got this video sent to her in the mail and I watched it religiously... I still remember it to the day so I went out on a whim and searched for it on KZbin.... and here it is. 😅 I still remember the faces and the stories. My how vacuums have come a long way huh? 😂

[@FantomLightning]

I was always the same way as a kid, especially with all the Fantom videos. Luckily we've got a pretty good grouping of people keeping these videos alive here on KZbin.

FantomLightning I remember for Christmas this year my grandma actually got me the real thing. 😂 well, at first she bought me a fake vacuum they made for kids... I hated it right away and kept asking for a real one. She finally caved. And I tell you what, every morning around 6 I would wake her up vacuuming. 😂

my vacuum obsession began at 2 by seeing my grandma's eureka bravo 2

I loved it but let a friend use it and they lost a part so had to throw it away because no one had the part, now you come out with it, it was called a "step hugger," so this is not new but I am so glad it is back ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Do you have the instructional video for the Lightning?

[@FantomLightning]

I do, unfortunately though, I don't have a working video capture system anymore. I'll get it up on here one day.

[@alexcentury2166]

Good. That and the Cyclone XT are the only ones I haven't seen

[@FantomLightning]

It had probably been used in a home with dogs. You never really can get that smell out...

Cat is worse.

I used to have this vacuum dung the summer last year,but I gave it back because it got bored of it and it smelled bad.

Why do you hate vacuum bags You don’t have to stare at the dirt that’s gross you don’t have I don’t like looking at the disgusting images in the can Daglas vacuums drive me crazy and when tunnel cleaners work so well they pick up more dirt than any other clean air upright sides I don’t like backless vacuums I love vacuum cleaner bags I’m serious vacuum cans are pain so why do you even have them why can’t a vacuum cleaners just have bag i’m serious this is too much believe me Douglas vacuums are gross you’re just looking at the dirt and when I was using the bag was vacuum I puked I’m like really serious phantom sorry if I couldn’t say it right but this is really gros thank you love Hoover

[@Kubulek17]

Wow no wonder dyson sued them ! That is a exact copy of the dyson

[@FantomLightning]

Uh, no. Dyson never sued Fantom for anything... Only Hoover UK, and Amway around that time. Fantom licensed Dyson technology, and the Lightning is a DC02 licensed and modified for better performance in the North American market.

[@lahonymanor2927]

Actually Dyson licenced this machine & its technology design to Fantom to manufacture this for the US market!
