I have a very old canister style Filter Queen. It's my grandma's old one, and she bought it in the 50s or 60s from a door-to-door vacuum salesperson. I got a powerhead for it a couple years ago (she never bought one because when she got it she only had linoleum) but it works really well. If I had the money I would update it with a brand new Filter Queen, but they are very expensive vacuums!
