Has got to be the most ridiculous, impractical, and no doubt ineffective vacuum attachment I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot over the years. And somebody wants to pay a high sum for this? I wouldn't be surprised | ||

~ Here's the story of the Haley's Comet. Its inventor, Lee Wolf, was a National Distributor for Compact for about ten years. He took great pride in the machine as a whole but was especially proud of the rug nozzle!

It looks like the support leg to my mother's 1960s ironing board the likes of which I would rather tear a leg off, drill holes in the base and attach it to a hose and try and vacuum with compared to the weird thing above.

Greg
The reality of cleaning with that thing is this: The wand connection to the rug tool has no swivel. Because both wands are plastic, you cannot put any real downward pressure on the rug tool. You have to hold the wands exactly right to get the rug tool flat on the rug, and then, you cannot clean anything that the suction opening in the middle of the tool isn't directly over. It's as big as a dinner plate. The brush strip is in the middle of the suction opening and gets fouled with lint and hair quickly. It's definitely something for some comic relief - when I show people how bad it is they laugh at it. I cannot imagine why anyone would have bought one. The machine is so huge and heavy, it's like pulling an apartment sized refrigerator around the house. I'll show you the next time I see you. You'll laugh your ass off.
