That looks like a nice vacuum. It appears to be 120v AC powered

I just threw out an ancient Electrolux XXX from probably before I was
born. The thing still worked, but it wasn't as efficient as my current
Miele (which has been great so far).

Most (but not necessarily all) replacement bags do no work well.
