....

It will still be a nice find for my collection. Does the non floaters have castors or just a flat base?

Re first Connie

The base is flat, the idea was to set it in the middle of the room and let the hose swivel around as you cleaned, the double stretch hose allowed you to clean a large area, the 82 doesent blow dust either.
