This is a Sanitaire SC886 commercial upright vacuum cleaner I borrowed to vacuum my room. This one has the plastic motor unfortunately
Lightweight and inexpensive yet solidly constructed, the Eureka 4711BZ Maxima offers an excellent value in a full-size upright vacuum. The cheerful yellow unit is easy to push and maneuver, offers powerful, 12-amp suction, and even uses micro-filtration to capture dust mites, pollen, and pet dander for cleaner, healthier indoor air, whether you have allergies or not.

It definitely doesn't seem like it's designed to last years and years. Oh, and forget using this on cat hair. I had a friend with two cats stay at my place for a while and the machine kept shutting down when trying to pick up all that hair. This site is a participant...
