Hey Guys

Ive been curious about these for ages, but weve not been offered them. So naturally when a fellow collector spotted this for £39.99 on Ebay I couldnt resist lol!

Ive only

Had a quick play but initial impressions are good- its pretty quiet, floats well and has loads of suction. I have no intention of really using it for cleaning so the bagless thing I normally hate isnt that much of an issue.

Stay tuned for more details this evening!

Wow! So far, so good! I'm sure that is a better than average performer.

okay, so....... WHAT is it?? I like the nice long hose. Saw a cute Sanyo "Powerboy" vac this weekend -- it has tremendous suction and is as cute as a bug, but has a hose that's frustratingly short.

it will be interesting to see what you think after youve used it for real cleaning, Seamus.

That is really a neat vacuum and a great video as well. I love the way the hose can be extended. Thanks for sharing this!!

It is funny watching at the beginning of the video where they are demonstrating the reasons why other vacs are inferior and you see the hose being pulled off of a Filter Queen.

Hi Seamus, I bought one of these last year off ebay. Really a neat conception with the hose within a hose and it floated beautifully, but the bagless thing was too much of a hassle with dog hair. I took it to the convention here in St. Louis last year and it sold as soon as it entered the room! Mine was a bright yellow. Have fun playing with it!

Nice one Seamus, and you keep saying you`re short of space...LOl, that hose seems a good idea, does the end snap off so that you could try it with the maytag satellite??

Enjoy , Mike

The extendable hose;

Didn't Hoover come up with that for their Octopus model? And don't Miele offer such a contraption as an option now - a small extra section of stretchy hose which can be released from the hose end?

See, the Old Constellation still beats it ;p

I find the Connie looking like some kinda Dalek is a perk :P

used to be at Brookstone!

We had them several years back at a store called Brookestone here in the states. It was bright yellow. I remember trying one out. I asked the sales lady who made it and she LIED to me and told me it was made by Dyson! Can you imagine? It did float nicely, but felt a little cheap.

I would love to try one and see how it compares to my
Constellations. Looks like a fun vacuum.
