Yes they still make these machines and service them. We have an older Filter Queen that was given to my mother that weighs about 100 lbs that will put your back out if you have to pick it up, but oh no she will not get ride of that thing. Going to pick up some filters for the vacuum I did not know this place even existed until she gave me the address that she got from another filter queen user. Off I go and walked into this little house like store and was greeted my an older man behind a counter. Got what I thought I need at $ 18 bucks for 12 filters which he told me should be changed monthly. Yeah ok. I need to actually go back and get a belt for the thing. I say chuck it and moms says over her dead body. I guess these things are made to last!
