"American Home Princess"; aka Filter Queen for Japan market

[cheesewonton]

Am stunned to see the Japanese Suction Work Rate rating for this vacuum, 319 watts. That's higher than Tristar ( 190 watts ), Lux 1R D820 ( 240 watts ) or Concordia ( Electrolux Ambassador), 200 watts. Higher than Miele too. Middle image on the bottom row of photos shows the data tag with the vacuum's specs.

I always thought that in terms of end of hose performance filter queens were a bit lacking. The motor may generate lots of power, however the cone filters clog up easily and then the power drops off quickly.

I always thought that the princess was their bagged model. That looks bagless to me. Very cool.
