That floorhead looks so retro-futurist. The little extentions at each side remind me both of the Airway, and the Ohio/Ohio-Tuec uprights... |

Whether you love or hate Dyson, you have to admit it's certainly distinctive-looking! |

I like the way the handle-strengthening ribs are made part of the aesthetic design, and look like cooling fins on a motorbike engine... |

...but on a short, fat, cigar-shaped roller. I can't tell you how much I prefer this design to the 'Ball'. It's so much more compact, and lower in profile - yet it works just as well. |

James the one on the left is an amway made by Bissell. these machines were not that popular but very imho faulty. |

I'm pleased to report that even when filled past the MAX mark, there was no appreciable loss of suction. |

Another view. I've never seen a brush-roll this badly worn before! |

I had a eureka that had a brushroll like that. however it kinda looked like the brushroll from the dyson only Bald. unfortuneately I trashed the vacuum because it was falling apart |

The amway was designed by Dyson, or well he had a lot to do with it. Something went wrong and they dropped dyson and so he made what we now know as the dyson cleaner. I am not sure how or when Bissell came into the picture but the Amway started in the later 80's and sold for $600.00. They are still sold today and I am told they are now $400.00. nothing has changed on them. They still aren't a great cleaner.
