I have used this this model vacuum many times (only the green model). It weights a ton - I remember vacuuming stairs and carrying it up stairs many times.

They also tend to not pick things up nearly as much as modern vacuums.

Yes it is made of metal and will last forever and the bag is thick material.

They have a much larger head (no idea if that is what it’s called) that picks up more area at once.

I’d be interested to hear from others.

It's built like a tank, and weighs about as much.

We had one from my grandparents, who probably didn't know how to say 'no' to traveling salesmen. My wife and I took it in the '90s and used it for a while, but it's a gigantic pain so we got rid of the thing.
