Sears Capture machine

[funvacfan]

I picked up for the sum of $5 one of those machines used for distributing and vacuumming up of the Capture Powder sold at Sears.

I think it looks like the Amway CMS...sorta.

Has anyone used one of these? Who really made the machine?

i think

Iona (fantom) made it, unless its a reallllllllly early CMS. I really couldn't tell you unless I saw it, but from what I understand (at least from the Dyson book) it is an IONA.

My mother used to have one of those things. It worked well while she had it, not sure what she did with it though.

I have two of those machines-they do work well-I use mine with "Host" dry carpet cleaner.Got one from a yard sale and the other from "joe" the junkman out here-sometimes I get interesting vacuums from him.The one from the yard sale had the owners manual.

I would like to see that! I always found those really early dual cyclone vacuums interesting (none of them were truly great machines, but they've always fascinated me). I had one, but it had a bad motor!

The Drytech was actually designed by James Dyson. It was one of his first dual cyclonic vacuums to hit the shelves. For a Dyson designed product, it has a very aggressive brushroll!
