I needed a little 'pick me up' last night to help cheer me up, so I decided to use a machine I haven't used in years. Hard to believe it's 20 years old already. It's a Dyson DC02 ReCyclone - just a few hundred were made. They were built out of scrap plastic from all the prototypes of Dyson machines at the factory. After grinding the plastic, it was colored green, the instruction manuals were printed on recycled paper, and the cleaner was not shipped in a box (shipped in a burlap reusable bag).
The things I had to do to get this machine.... Mr. Dyson sent it to me directly from the headquarters in England many years ago. They claimed it was "The World's First Recycled Vacuum Cleaner". It certainly IS powerful - with it's 240 volt motor and 290 air watts of airflow. The turbo brush won't slow down, even on high pile carpet. I used the Volt cordless Power Nozzle (made for central vacs) with it and I was (again) amazed at the amount of dirt it removed. And, it cheered me up.

As always, I've said "Goodbye" to the filthy, old, nasty, stinking, clogging bag. And "Hello" to the Dual Cyclone.
