Probably the same as the Oreck brush vac, the Kirby Vacuette (Legend II era), and some other brands too.

To my knowledge, the heritage 2 - legend 2 were mechanically the same unit. There might be minor differences, but nothing huge. I would imagine it will work. Personally, I think the legends had better colors, and the HII was a fairly bland cleaner.
