Very reliable vacuum cleaner, with only one minor repair made since 1967.The \"last model\" of the first generation of Kirby cleaners, according to Wikipedia--this Dual Sanitronic 80 cleaner works like a champ.Features a very powerful motor, will lift any area rug off the floor. The handle was \"one of 26 improvements\" made over the Sanitronic 50 model that was featured from 1965 to 1967.In very good condition. Quality product.The only flaws are that the area by the hose attachment is covered with duck tape. Also, the plastic cylinder has a bit of leftover remnants of baking soda on the outside.Due to the special nature of this product, FedEx will be the only method of shipment for the cleaner plus the accompanying attachments (that box measures 4\" length x 13.7\" wide x 17.5\" deep).Happy offerding!
