Probably the same as the Oreck brush vac, the Kirby Vacuette (Legend II era), and some other brands too.

Oh, so its a mini tank cleaner then? I never knew douglas had such a thing. So I'm guessing its something like this:

your the best..thanks. i looked all over ebay...but not in the correct places...99cents...i paid a $1.60...so id say i by far got the best end of deal...has good suction for a tiny 2.2 amps....gonna use it to clean out vac and car...but if motor goes out i have a small 750watt upper mtr from a riccar/radnc to fill it up with...should be a screamer then...but thanks again for your time and effort....btw what you think about a kirby lgnd 2-3 with no brushroll head for $8 and will my hrtg2 12in head fit it?

To my knowledge, the heritage 2 - legend 2 were mechanically the same unit. There might be minor differences, but nothing huge. I would imagine it will work. Personally, I think the legends had better colors, and the HII was a fairly bland cleaner.
