(You may notice that the hood in the owner's manual is unpainted and shiny. Both hoods are correct and are shown throughout the manual. I am not sure which came first but suspect the unpainted one.)
Bill,
They were so far ahead of the time. They were and remain great vacuum cleaners and with the wood pulp cellulose bags, the filtration was unequaled.
Many have tried to copy, but, the Air-Way remains unique to this day.
Airways must not have been widely distributed in Texas because I've never seen an upright in person or one of the wheeled canister models. Do you have any plans to sell a Centurion or one of the more contemporary models?
Really neat Air Way vacuums-clever hose connector on the Dirtmaster.When the orig bags run out-what kind of modern disposable bag fits and works in these machines?In a way these remind me of Kirby systems!Just curious--whats the prices on these fabulous vacuum cleaners?Does the Dirtmaster machine have its hose and attachments?Its so sad that AirWay didn't reindroduce one of these models before they went under.
