If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

Venson,
I agree with you that the Legacy and Classic are the best bang for your bucks here. If you want to increase the filtration on these two models, just purchase hepa bags instead of using standard paper. By the way, the Legacy is the quieter of the three.
In regards to the vac motor, it is made by Johnson electric, it is a single stage. Also, it does have carbon brushes. It is rather deceiving though, as the brushes come right after the fan unit, and the body of the motor is encased over them. We are so used to seeing the fan unit, field, brushes on the commutator, and the bearing coming right after this at the end. Not so in this model. The brushes are located about half way down the motor. I do believe Ametek Lamb has a similar version called the Advantek series where they have done the same thing in regards to brush location. If memory is correct, I believe it is a 5.25 inch diameter??? motor. Have I seen the motor-yes, held it in my paws.
Vernon Vernon,
Are the HEPA bags sold by Aerus-Lux?

Thanks Vernon, I'm looking forward to a chance to see this new motor myself. There's been ongoing curiosity on my part as to when they'll start putting out motors of lesser size (by end-to-end depth I'd guess)that can match present power output standards. Also thanks for the noise advisory. Best, Venson

WRT paper bags Fabreze now has partnered with HOME CARE Industries in NJ with a line of paper bags. http://www.baileylicensing.com/news/pr/090203.htm Carmine D. I hope they smell better than the spray.

Disagree with you if the HEPA is the post motor filter. Pet odors over time from a house cat/dog will infiltrate dyson's HEPA post filter and fill the exhaust air/room air with the pet odor smell. Carmine D.
