I'd like to know more about this handheld vacuum cleaner. It's a direct-air corded machine with a rotating brush roll and reusable cloth bag, along with a hose and crevice tool.
My parents bought this vacuum from a yard sale around 1999/2000. It was complete in the box with the manual and an extra belt. The vacuum was very LOUD; thus, it scared the crap out of me. My parents used it as a car vacuum in my old apartment. Upon moving into my current house in 2001, we brought this vacuum along. But we put it in the garage and hardly touched it again. I had the manual in my room, and my sister wrote all over it. Sometime in 2010, I rediscovered this vacuum and decided to give it a whirl. It was still just as loud as I remember it; in addition, the suction was weak. The vacuum didn't pick up well; it left clumps of hair on a chair I was cleaning. In early 2011, I decided it was time for this vacuum to go, so we donated it to Goodwill. Now I'm starting to kind of miss it. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody could tell me more about this vacuum. According to the manual, it was from 1993. Here is a pic. I do not own it; it's from a listing on eBay.

The fact that the DirtVac has a shakeout bag gives me serious DD/Royal handvac vibes. Oh, who remembers the bagged Bissell PowerPartner handvacs? | ||
