The self-cleaning system has been doing a poor job. |

Cool! That must have been a short-lived revival of the Sunbeam name on vacs....the Sunbeam/Jarden website does not feature any vacs at the moment:

I think the BAGGED version was better; it's more efficient than the "self-cleaning" filter. Nice find. :) |

I agree, the W2's so-called self cleaning filter is a lie. The bagged version is better, but the bags are expensive. A regular Windtunnel is better. |

Scott,
I had one of these recently too. It was a free leftover from a garage sale. Anyway I thought I would have some fun with it. Long story short, it is as you say overly complicated to disassemble to get to the filter. The cost of a new filter was also not something I wanted to invest in. As I got into it further I realized the nozzle base had the same brittle & broken plastic screw posts as the Saavy line of Windtunnel machines had. After saving a V2 Saavy type model, I didnt want to spend the time or money trying to save this one. So in the dumpster it went. It was fun to see the electronics & such when I took it apart. Seems like they would be fun to use in proper working order. This one also had a hard life. When I turned it on the first time, nails & coins shot into the dust cup! |
