Looks cool, I bet its made in China...doubt it has features like safety brush roll off, if you accidentally suck up a sock. Bagless :-/

 

[tylerawells]

I have a bagged Oreck, and I've been pretty happy with it, specifically the Graphite. This just looks like they're trying to appeal to unedcuated consumers who think bagless is better.

it does have the brushroll off safety feature just like the Magnesium does.
It is made in China but if sales go well they could build it here in the USA.

Good to know, there is limited information so I was assuming based on the other uprights.

What I find utterly ridiculous with the design of this cleaner is the two loops on either side of the cleaning head. What is the purpose of those? If they didn't exist, the cleaning head would go under even more furniture. At least that's how it looks.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

The

head is 2 inches high I say thats low enough and it gets under VERY low and tight spots ...

 

[vintagerepairer]

At the front, yes, but the sides are high which means the head surely can't go too far under?

<span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;">Does it have full sized tools or those pathetic "all-in-one" combination crevice/dusting tools?</span>

I'm sorry but you are wrong the sides are 3 inches high the front is 1.5 inches high .
I own the magnesium and it is the same nozzle .

Hello Dan. If the sides are 3" and the front is 1.5", then I can only be right that the sides are higher than the front. Now, I realise that 3" is still an incredibly low size, but what I am meaning is that from the pictures those plastic loops on the side don't seem to do anything. So without them the cleaning head would be lower still.

It is still one of the lowest heads on a vacuum . Try to get a Dyson head or a Kirby head under a low object . They are part of the design and the head would look stupid with out them . It has won awards over its design so they are doing something right .

As my Daddy would say

You can't please some people if you hung them with a new rope.

I love that

Harley thanks for that it is so true !

 

[vintagerepairer]

Oh we say that over here too. It is very true. I do like the comment that the cleaner would look stupid without the side loops. Every bagless cleaner looks hideous to me as it's so different from what I am used to.
