I may be a johnny-come-lately but I have just discovered that Sanitaire (Electrolux) has added a direct-air lightweight upright to its DuraLux vacuum line. No attachments of course. Its advantage is the use of magnesium in place of plastic. The cleaner's weight is claimed to be 10 lb. without its 30-foot cord. The cleaner draws 5 amps and has a horizontally positioned fan (standard Eureka).

Online vendors claim there is a height adjustment for its all-metal brushroll but no indication of the like is in the owners manual.

However, if there is a real advantage re weight and wearability due to magnesium it incorporates, even better it prices as low as $165 although as high as $300 online.

hi carmine

i asked my boss today about the g-vac...has no clue what or who im talking about. neither did a couple of guys in the industry i ordered parts from.

add in the fact that the oreck guy you spoke with hasnt ...g-vac really under the radar. i read one review on CR vac page where someone loved it...but the rest were really bad reviews.....customer service was a nightmare...long hold times....hung up on/disconnect......guess dyson isnt worst after all...theyll give you the runaround but wont hang up on you. perhaps your shopvac/gerry vac idea is not so far off....just cant see how nobody has yet to expose them or more of them. a ghost indeed.

Hello 'turtle1'

It would seem for a new product, exclusive to the market and industry [a lightweight with OBT], G-vacuum would make more of an effort to promote and promulgate. But, at least so far, just a TV infomercial once in a blue moon. Not the way to advertise and sell your product. I would think even an ad here would work wonders to get needed attention and sales. But not yet.
