Really can't wait for it to get here and to give it a Spa treatment:). I think it may be worth the attention. Classic example of the seller being totally unaware of what they are selling....... Seamus |

James Dyson designed a commercial upright as well as a commercial canister, for Johnson Wax's commercial division, called Johnson Wax Professional. The upright was sold in the USA, and called the VECTRON. It was made by IONA for Johnson Wax. After Johnson discontinued it, it was relabeled the Fantom Thunder.
The Canister was sold in Europe. Unlike a Filter Queen or Compact, the dual cyclone machines use two different types of cyclones, spinning at different speeds, to separate the fine dust from the airflow. Way before the air gets to the pre-motor filter. The Victor is also a wet/dry machine. |

Actually Dyson is allowed in the vintage section as the DC01 is from 1993 :) making it 21 years old, as it was launched in June 1993. |

Seamus, that is a great find there! You certainly have a rare piece of vacuum history on your hands now.
Tom - Since it has been mentioned in the past that James Dyson designed a dual-cyclonic machine for Filter Queen, but they turned it down, was this design the one that was offered to Filter Queen & they rejected? Or was there a second canister design that was offered to them here in North America? Rob |
