Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Venson,<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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.  <BR><BR>Vernon

I hope they smell better than the spray.
