Attachments.. Fairly standard for the Canadian machines i have seen, this was one of the brands Ruth Hollander used to sell, Tom got it from her and I got it from him years ago.when he got it i believe it was brand new.

It is Basically the same as a new Water Matic. | ||

Hmmm... Never seen one of those - or a Water-Matic in person. Kinda like a Fairfax or a Silver King internally, no? | ||

Similar..but The deflector spins the air instead of deflecting it downward, so it does not plug up as quickly as a Silver King . | ||

The filter paper isn't the same as a Silver King or Fairfax. It's actually a crinkled paper, similar to Air-Way bag material. The only thing I didn't like was how tightly the hose and wands fit together. But it's a really good and well made vacuum. And proof that there were 'bagless' vacuums before Dyson came along.

Re Wands.. I got another similar machine and those wands fit much better, I think they messed up a little at the factory on the others. | ||

I thought Fairfaxes used bags. | ||

Re Fairfax.. The first ones used a flat filter , bags were optional. | ||
