Fantom Technologies

Fantom Technologies, Inc. was a Canadian household appliance company founded in Welland, Ontario in 1986 as IONA Appliances, with offices in Buffalo, New York, U.S. A manufacturer of dual-cyclonic type vacuum cleaners, they were inspired from the Dyson vacuums (which would not appear in North America until 2002). Its later name was adopted in 1995. Fantom went bankrupt in October 2001 and their vacuums have been considered collector's items since. rdf:langString
