To vintagehoover-do you know how the cyclonic action works on this particular machine? I notice the design of the canister is a little different than a Dyson or other Vax machines. Is it dual cyclonic?

[vintagehoover]

@JJ9715 It's just a simple conical cyclone with a central vortex-finder tube, which also acts as the shroud. It's not dual cyclonic, as there's only one level of separation. It works better than a traditional dustcup-and-filter-screen set-up, but it's not as efficient as a dual or multi-cyclonic design.

I was wondering if you could do a similar video of the dust cup. I find it very interesting due to the fact that this is a tapered cyclone yet the central tube that draws air in pulls it in from the outside instead of through the bottom like all other tapered cyclones. Why did they design it this way? Does it make a difference?

[vintagehoover]

@6060nanaful They've simply added a shroud to the vortex-finder; it's a single-stage radix cyclone - almost the opposite of a filter-based bagless cleaner, which uses a one-stage low-efficiency cyclone.

Presumably it's the most efficient cyclone system they could use which worked with the airflow of a battery-powered cleaner.

That is a Hoover in America.

Canisters can be noisy when hard objects bounce around inside them.

It just gobbels the whole path of mess up+cool and powerful thing.

that looks like a hoover platinum stick vac

go to hsn.com and they have a video of the hoover version, hsn also has a couple videos of it here on youtube
