Citroenbx, I would NEVER blow up this vacuum with C4 bombs. That would be silly! I think the reason why it's called the C4 Cyclonic is because of the EXPLOSIVE suction power.
DesertTortoise, that's very good information! You know your WWII history. But a subject like that should belong in the Miscellanea forum. However, I'm not an upgraded member.
Godfreys_guy, the many parts connect to each other using either two- or three-prong plugs. I am attaching pictures to show the many plugs that connect the many pieces to this canister vacuum.
Bagintheback, this vacuum does have a 5-year warranty, so that'll give my family some peace of mind if something goes wrong. The cyclonic system is very good! The 16 cyclones filter out the fine dust very well. Only a tiny bit of hair got to the pre-motor filter above the cyclones, and I've only vacuumed my downstairs floors. I will see how dirty it gets over time.
Here are pics of the various connections on the vacuum:
1. Hose connector to the vacuum
2. Hose port on the vacuum
3. Hose end that connects to the handle grip
4. Handle grip end that connects to the hose end
5. End of the handle grip that the telescopic wand attaches to
6. End of the telescopic wand that connects to the handle grip
7. End of the telescopic wand that the power foot connects to
8. Power foot connector
