Dirt Devil Powerlite (roommate with hose)

[blackheart]

I remember seeing someone ask about a roommate with a hose on it after doing some research i found it was kirbyvertibles who had asked and the machine was a Powerlite model 084700, I recall seeing a commercial for this machine and thought it was just the coolest thing. I could not find any real images of it but perhaps one of you have some?

I've seen bags at a vac shop for one of those with Kyle. It is probably one of the rarest of the 1990's Dirt Devils out there...

I meant to say filters, not bags.

omg thats it!!! I bought a box of stuff at an auction and in this box was peices to this machine. I had forget where it came from. anyhow it only had the main body and hose, no wand attachments or anything else. I never got to you it and never could find what I needed to get it working so it went to the curb a few years back. I always wanted to see one working. I have NEVER seen one put together till these pics. Thanks so much! Our Wal/K mart stores never sold these.
Where they any good?

Well..

They aren't the size of a roommate, they are MUCH bigger and heavier. (Imagine westinghouse convert o vac, but a little smaller)
They have swivel casters on them, and thats about all i know haha i wish i knew more. :-/

Thats pretty neat, I never seen one of those, not that I remember anyway. I don't belive they were sold at our Wall/Kmarts either.
