Time to move this on to someone who can use it. I bought it to clean carpeting in front of my doorways, and have finally solved that problem by getting rid of the carpet. The unit has no problems - the rocker switches all work correctly, which was the main problem with this model when I was researching it years ago. I'm located on the san francisco peninsula - zip 94028. A local person probably makes the most sense as shipping could be painful. If you can use it, shoot me an offer. sold for $430
