With a Vitavac of course. I hit one of the usual thrift stores today and found this. I had never seen one before in the flesh so I had to buy it to play with. All that black and chrome it looks like it means business. The power nozzle is a little on the cheap side but seems to work well. I think it may be a Douglas nozzle. An Airway to begin with but this machine has an extra handle on the front and bumpers on the sides and two wheels in the front and Vitavac labels all over it.

Roger, that is a really nice vacuum! I love the idea of the additional strap handle. I think it would have been very useful on the AirWay as well. Great find!! Thanks for sharing.

I have that same machine. Mine is missing everything though, and is in pretty bad shape, but it does run. Congratulations on your new vac!

Vita-Mix Corp. sold these for years. I've watched them on Ebay when I was in my Vita-Mix acquisition phase but they were few and far between.

I always thought they were sharp looking colors and that handle on the side was just perfect.

Since the demise of Air-Way, they no longer carry a vacuum cleaner, if a bit odd to begin with for a blender company, but they still have a line of cookware. Now your life won't be complete without a new 11.5 amp blender and a set of cookware. I'll bet if you buy the whole package, they'll make you a good deal and let you make weekly payments. How many weeks does it take to pay off $2050 @ 30% interest?

I have one of these too, mine is either a higher model or newer, as I have a better PN not sure who made the PN, and I also have a pistol grip hose end with a switch for the PN.

Actually no

That one is a Matsushita built nozzle sold thru Cen-Tec. You can tell that by the shape of the top part of the nozzle.
