Was surprised your homemade bagless system worked as well as it did----Mr. Dyson watch out!!You may have a competitor here!Sounds like the bearings in that motor are about to go-Older direct air Vorwerk motor? |

It is (or was) Vorwerk with the dirty fan design. Airflow in it was surprisingly good for a 250 watt motor. Bearing was bad and it eventually got so bad that it would have needed the new one.
So sadly it is gone now. I am very tempted to buy Vorwerk kobold 122 with the ET 340 powerhead. Those are well designed/built vacuums.
