Hey guys, if I could get some help on this one I would appreciate it.  I have an elderly aunt in need of a replacement Bissell Prolite.  The motor on hers is shot, brushes, everything just shot.  I took it into the local guy and he said 90 bucks for a new motor and housing as the motor got so hot it torched the housing.  He also suggested a Powr-Flite which is who hold the patent on that design now.  She is adamant she wants another Prolite if one can be found as she has a ton of bags etc for this one.  If anyone knows of a local dealer or internet presence that has even a used Prolite to be had, I would greatly appreciate it.  I found one guy who has a local shop in Nevada but he wants 300 for his "last one" because its a collector's item now.  I told him pass.  Hope everyone's summer is going well.  Still using the Healthy Home vac and still going strong, had to supplement it with a cheap plastivac for downstairs though, UGH... 40 pounds is a lot to lift up and down the basement stairs.
