Not much else to say other than I always wondered if this type of machine had a specific category that it belonged in. Big powerheas on the bottom that also served as the compartment for the dirt.

I'll bet it would work well vacuuming under beds with good clearance and if the handle retracts all the way to the floor! |

While it's bagless and more like a stick vac there was this Dirt Buster by black and decker. It was such a strange machine the handle was removeable and all it really did was hold the hose/cord so it was unnecessarily oversized then we have the design of the base. It had a main suction channel behind the brushroll chamber and there was a fairly small opening that led into the brushroll chamber I never really understood that why choke off the flow to the brushroll

I found some photos of my old one via the search function. The one above is slightly different and the hose would plug into the plug on top of the dirt chamber where on mine it plugged into the main suction chamber

That Dirt Buster I can remember suing a n earlier version of with a more compact handle.
I saw one of those Dirt Devil Room Mates the other day at Goodwill, it looked in great shape, but the price was kind of high. I found one in the trash several years ago, but the motor brushes were worn down, and I regret to say I threw it away a few years ago. |
