I have the one with the knob. It was my grandmother's that she got in 1993. She gave it to me, and it still works really well... And it still has the original belt in it!
I just shake my bag out, which is really messy, but there is a converter, so that you can use a paper bag in it. I have the new Dirt Devil Handvac 2.0 which is bagless. The original bagged one is so much better. It feels much more robust, has a longer cord, and it doesn't lose suction. The filter on the 2.0 clogs really quicky and loses suction. I have never had the old one lose suction.

Sweet! I know, why change something that worked perfectly before? The newer one should be better but the tables have turned :P | ||

The only problem I've had with the original handvac, is with the cord. Which I was able to fix with duct tape 😜

I've got two of the earlier all metal 501 hand vacs. One is from the mid-'60s and has a gray and red bag and the other is a late '80s vintage one with a blue bag. They're great little gadgets. The blue one performs much better than the older one. I use them with the paper toss-out bags because I hate the mess of shake-out bags. The cloth outer bag is very difficult to attach with a shake-out bag in place unless you turn the outer bag upside down, with the logo facing down, then it goes on very easily.

I really like them, their great. Would never pass one up at the carboot, ever. Easy to shift on too when bored! I got given the one in the link, and sold it for £35, which isnt too horrific for a 20 year old cleaner! Still got 2, pre refurb too. Gawd knows where they are. 1 is boxedz will keep that.

I had one for years - an old Royal badged one and it came with paper bags which I always used. I think I used it once without a bag and it was an awful lot of dust to shake out. They are brilliant for what they are designed to do, even though I must stress that though I picked up a tool kit at a charity shop for all of 35p, I seldom used it.
