The full model number is 116.24890. I hope this helps, and it would be nice to have the manual for it.

Hmm, maybe you have an older version of my vacuum? Just a guess.

I think so, I've seen them around at the local vacuum shop and at the goodwill where I work at. Why?

Interesting, I didn't know Whirlpool had a vacuum division and sold it to Panasonic. That explains why all the 80's Panasonic two piece units were so American!

I didn't know Whirlpool made vacuums either until now, I mostly ever knew about Hoover, Eureka, Kirby, Rainbow, Royal/Dirt Devil, and Electrolux.
I even once saw an old GE Canister Vacuum complete with all of its attachments in the Donation box outside the Goodwill I work at, but the hose connection that connects the hose to the vacuum itself was busted and being held into place with duct tape so it got tossed into the trash compactor and I think the aforementioned GE Vacuum might of been from the late 1950s or early 1960s because the design looked very similar to the old 1950s vintage Filter Queen vacuums, (which by the way there is a complete with all of its attachments and original box Filter Queen Canister Vacuum at one of the local antique stores near me, which I thought about getting it but the booth owner that has it in his booth at the antique mall wants about $300 for it which is way out of my price range). what's interesting is that the Kenmore Canister Vacuum I have that I had bought for my place soon after I moved in (we didn't have a properly functioning vacuum at my place when I moved in) was one of the Panasonic made ones just shortly before Panasonic sold out its vacuum manufacturing division last year. By the way the Goodwill I work at has 3 Panasonic upright vacuums for sale currently... |

Interesting... We currently have a first generation Dyson upright vacuum that I use at work to sweep the entryway and the rug in front of the entrance at the Goodwill I work at and it seems to work pretty well for what it is. I also have one of the old pro-grade Hoover Upright vacuums from the late 1970s, early 1980s that was one of the first "bagless" vacuums ever made, it was the commercial grade version of the residential grade vacuum that Hoover made at the time that had a very similar design but different model name, which interestingly enough my parents, and my grandparents both had the same vacuum (my grandmother still has and uses hers whereas my parents got rid of theirs almost 20 years ago when they decided to replace it with an Electrolux canister vacuum).
