has anyone ever heard of this?

seems like a patent infringement to the filter queen company, but there is just a regular cartrige filter behind the cone so it seems like it would still clog really fast

It's amazing how much the Filtropur looks like the Hoover Z! I guess TTI can't sue them for patent infringement because it was one the last machines Hoover (as we knew it) produced before the takeover.

actually i almost bought one of those, it is different that the z hoover as the canister stays in the upright position and the hoover does not.. no shaking of the hepa filter either. supposedly weeter from filter queen left and started this company...

This is the one

This machine had came through the office quite a while ago, I referenced it at one point, or another I am sure. While it may filter nicely the machine was cheap at best. It reminded me of the really cheaply made vacuum like the older Sharks. (no offense to anyone just a reference point)

yeah, i have never seen one in person. glad i didnt buy it online.. kinda had the same thought in my head "cheap plastic"
