Tom, criticize all you want. The Lewyt Big Wheel was actually a pretty darn good vacuum for it's time. High quality tools, decent build and good suction for a vac from the 50s. Now, this bagless version makes it a modern design people will want to buy and use.
Speaking of the Lewyt Big Wheel, I actually have 1 that is getting refurbished and a new motor going into it.
