Now I was interested in those when I was younger, but I've never used one. What makes it so great exactly? | ||

darn powerful suction on the Fury, too.
but they are growly noisy. I'll measure it one the gauge and get back to ya on that. I have 2 Furys, one from 1998 and the restyled one from 2001. Essentially the same but differ in the base hood shape and the handle nozzle. Also, the air path pre motor lint filters are in different locations. I prefer the early one for it's less glamorous more mechanical appearance, although I do like the martian green accents on the 2001 model.

The early light lens is smaller but it throws more illumination. The handle differences are evident in this view. I do like the long reach collapsing aluminum wand that stores inside the flexihose. And yes, I would say the dust bin does contain most of the dust instead of distributing throughout the vacuum chambers like most Cyclonic baglesses do.

Yes Mike, the 1998 version is on the right. The lack of sexy curved handle gives it away. Frankly, the first open end handle grip offers the best dust path to the chamber with fewer sharp bends. I keep these two simply because of what they represent in how far bagless cyclonic technologies have come in bamboozling the market. | ||

Btw, for those who don't know Fantom Furys, the first openended handle Model FY92 00 made in Canada IS the tool end of the telescoping wand. Simply pull the handle up and out and the hose follows. The angle makes it useful and that's why it is friction rubbercoated. The later model 8FY-100A made in USA Fury the sexy handle is capped & fixed. Pushing on that green latch releases a straight telescopic wand & hose from below the handle. Both these Fantoms are out in the garage awaiting a winter Spa appointment. I also have a Cyclone XT with the tool storage bin. It was bought new by a work colleague, she had two bins that clogged up, she stopped using it years ago. I fixed it up for here but now she's used it again she finds it too heavy and has given it to me...for the collection. I gave her a fully kitted Filter Queen 700 for her sons allergies and she does have a central vac system. She reports the FQ is her favorite and most effective allergy control around the house. Maybe I should lend her one of those accursed Rainbows? | ||
