They had completely different motors.

I meant put a motor from an older Maytag Windtunnel into one of these units.

Updates - August 6, 2025 Currently made a WANTED listing on Facebook Marketplace for one of these units.

Here's some vids of it running as well. These used the same motors as the Windtunnel Twin Chamber, Lite, and Supreme. Hoover wide path bagless demo Hoover Widepath (Tempo Bagless) Apartment Vacuuming

I have the red "PowerReach" model of this. Mine seems to be driven by some sort of turbine in the nozzle.

I just came back after a couple weeks and, wow. I'm kinda happy for this change if it includes an actual thread search feature. That thread archive site was clunky to maneuver.

More pics of it. As far as I know, the bags don’t limit airflow. I just tested hose suction with both my 103 (No paper Bag) and my 533 (Paper Bag. Dirt Devil Type G) and the suction was pretty much the same. Try the correct bag type (Dirt Devil Type G Bags) to see if it helps with the suction...

abobotek The hose cap you have is the correct one on that model. Judging by the bag design, yours probably has the bag adapter molded right into the casing. My 533 has a bag adapter that came separately from it.

More Pics. Ben, I’ve seen pics of this model in old threads here. I’m glad to have one!

Picked this straight up once I saw it without thinking twice.

There was also a Windtunnel and even a Turbopower variant. The Windtunnel variant came in Red, Blue, and a silver color similar to the Lowes Exclusive Preferred and Savvy models. The Turbopower was called the Turbopower 3000. Given the number in the Turbopower range, it was a lower end model...

I have a blue 3 gallon All Around and I’m wondering if there’s any info on this very early looking All Around model.

Alrighty Thanks. I’ll be installing a bag into it soon.

Here’s a pic of the Shop Vac with no pleated filter.

I have a Shop Vac All Around QAL80A and I used a bag in it with the pleated filter. I'm not sure if this is the right configuration because I've seen an image of the same model using a bag without the pleated filter. Would using the bag without the pleated filter be the correct setup?
